Answer:

The first piece is 5 inches long, while the second is 15 inches and the third one is 20 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the length of the 3 pieces, knowing that the total of the board is 40 inches, and that the second measures 3 times more than the first and the third measures 4 times more than the first, the following equation must be performed:

X + 3X + 4X = 40

8X = 40

X = 40/8

X = 5

Therefore, the first piece is 5 inches long, while the second is 15 inches and the third 20 inches.

A dog walker charges a flat rate of $6 per walk plus an hourly rate of $30. How much does the dog walkercharge for a 45 minute w
leonid [27]

hello

from the question given, the dog walker charges a flat rate of $6 and an extra $30 per hour.

we can write out an equation in function notation

let the number of hours be represented by x

f(x)=6+30x

now we can proceed to solve the cost of the walk for 45 minutes

\begin{gathered} 1hr=60\min s \\ \text{xhr}=45\min s \\ x=\frac{45}{60} \\ x=\frac{3}{4} \\ \text{therefore 45mins = 3/4 hours} \end{gathered}

now we can input the value into the equation and know the cost for 45 minutes walk

\begin{gathered} f(x)=6+30x \\ x=\frac{3}{4} \\ f(x)=6+30(\frac{3}{4}) \\ f(x)=6+22.5 \\ f(x)=28.5 \end{gathered}

from the calculation above, the cost of 45 minutes walk will cost $28.5
