Answer:

(a)

Snow Dome Ski: y = 65 + t

Mt. Winterpark: y = 74 + ½t

(b) Hours greater than 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Snow Dome Ski

Base Snow = 65in

Rate = 1 in per hour

Mt. Winterpark

Base Snow = 74 in

Rate = ½ in per hour

Solving (a): Equation for both

To determine the amount of snow (y) at time (t) for any of the two, we make use of:

y = Base Snow + Rate * t

For Snow Dome Ski:

y = 65 + 1 * t

y = 65 + t

For Mt. Winterpark

y = 74 + ½ * t

y = 74 + ½t

Solving (b): When snow dome will have more snow.

To solve this, we set the following inequality

Snow Dome Ski > Mt. Winterpark

This gives:

65 + t > 74 + ½t

Collect Like Terms

t - ½t > 74 - 65

½t > 9

Multiply both sides by 2

t > 18

This implies that the snow at Snow Dome Ski will be more than the snow at Mt. Winterpark after 18 hours.

After 18 hours means, hours greater than 18 which could be 19, 20, 21.....

Hiya! Here's my question:
Step2247 [10]

wait i got it!

Since 18 kilograms are 18000 grams, you have

18000/30=600

and

800/30=26.6

So, with 18 kilograms of salt the baker can make exactly 600 batches with no leftovers, while with 800 grams of salt the baker can make 26 batches, with some leftovers.

In fact, 26 batches require

26 x 30 =780

grams of salt, and the remaining

800-780=20

grams of salt are not enought to prepare the next batch

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

$2\frac{1}{4} \ inch$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the four thickest books from the line plot given by

Two books of $\frac{1}{2}$ inch thick and the two books of $\frac{5}{8}$ inch thickness.

So when the two $\frac{1}{2}$ inch thick book is being piled on the top of a $\frac{5}{8}$ inch thick books.

Therefore, the total thickness of the pile of books is given by :

$=2 \times \frac{1}{2}+2 \times \frac{5}{8}$

$=\frac{9}{4}$

$=2\frac{1}{4} \ inch$

Therefore, the thickness of the pile is $2\frac{1}{4} \ inch$ .
