Answer:

  more than half are being used

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps easiest to understand is the most straightforward: figure the total number of seats and the number of seats being used. Check to see if that is more than half.

The 1 first-class carriage has usage of ...

  (3/8)(64 seats) = 24 seats.

The 6 standard carriages have usage of ...

  (7/13)(6 · 78 seats) = 252 seats.

The total number of seats used is ...

  24 + 252 = 276 . . . . seats used

__

The total number of seats on the train is ...

  1·64 +6·78 = 532 . . . . seats on the train

Half of the seats on the train will be ...

  532/2 = 266 seats . . . . half the seats

The 276 used seats are more than half of the total number. More than half the seats are being used.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

Another way to look at this is to compare utilization to 1/2 in each carriage class.

  In first class 1/2 -3/8 = 1/8 of 64 seats = 8 seats fewer than 1/2 the seats are being used.

  In standard class, 7/13 -1/2 = 14/26 -13/26 = 1/26 of 78 seats = 3 seats more than 1/2 the seats are being used. There are 6 standard class carriages, so 6·3 = 18 more than half the seats in the standard-class carriages are being used.

This number is 10 more than the 8 under-utilized seats in first class, so <em>more than half the train seats are being used</em>.

Assume the exponential growth model ​A(t)equals=Upper A 0 e Superscript ktA0ekt and a world population of 5.95.9 billion in 2006
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

1.4% is the maximum acceptable annual rate of​ growth such that the population must stay below 24 billion during the next 100​ years.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The exponential growth model ​is given by:

A(t) = A_0e^{kt}

where k is the growth rate, t is time in years and A_0 is constant.

The world population is 5.9 billion in 2006.

Thus, t = 0 for 2006

A_0 = 5.9\text{ billions}

We have to find the maximum acceptable annual rate of​ growth such that the population must stay below 24 billion during the next 100​ years.

Putting these values in the growth model, we have,

24 = 5.9e^{100k}\\\\k = \dfrac{1}{100}\ln \bigg(\dfrac{24}{5.9}\bigg)\\\\k = 0.01403\\k = 0.01403\times 100\% = 1.4\%

1.4% is the maximum acceptable annual rate of​ growth such that the population must stay below 24 billion during the next 100​ years.

Me need help pweaseee can anyone help
Kryger [21]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A 90 degree rotation would be a rotation of 90° about the origin. Knowing this, we can eliminate C since it is a 180° rotation. We can also eliminate A, as it would be a 0° or 360° rotation. This leaves us with B and C.

A counterclockwise rotation would be one that goes the opposite direction of the rotation of the hands of a clock. A 90° counterclockwise rotation would yield triangle B, making that our answer.

I hope you find my answer and explanation to be helpful. Happy studying.

What's the diff between the x &amp; y intercepts?<br> I sorta know it
inna [77]
Not all functions will have intercepts, but when you are working with the graph of a linear function, it will have both an x-intercept and a y-intercept. An x-intercept is where the graph crosses the x-axis and a y-intercept is where it crosses the y-axis. Let's think about a line that crosses the x-axis.
