Answer:

When there are 108 presents, there are 60 candy canes

Step-by-step explanation:

candy canes : presents = 5:9

5/9 = x/108

cross multiply:

(5) (108) = 9x

540 = 9x, divide both sides by 9

x = 60

The "core" inflation rate is typically defined as the change in consumer prices for all goods included in the CPI basket except

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Higher

Step-by-step explanation:

1) In Macroeconomics, The core inflation rate does not include food and energy since these categories are way more volatile, due to oil and season matters. And statistically this measure looks for more robust items, to compose the core inflation in a more accurate way. The Consumer Prices Index (CPI) is the metric used for the cost of living.

Another Index, used by the Fed is the PCE, for the goods and services consumed by the US residents.

So, the Core inflation is based on CPI and PCE, <em>Personal Consumption Expenditure</em> therefore the inflation rate for the past year was higher than 4%, for it is not solely based on CPI index.

A = base side=3

b= base side=5

c = base side=3

h= height=7-4=3

l= lenght=6

w= width=5

h= height=4

V= 1/4h√(-a⁴+2(ab)²+2(ac)²-b⁴+2(bc)²-c⁴) + l w h

V=12.44+ 120=132.44 unit³

Justin is on a road trip. Over the past two days, he’s driven a total distance of 504 miles at an average speed of 56 miles/hour

irakobra [83]

Recall d = rt, distance = rate * time.

now, he has a speed rate of 56 mph for a distance of 504

$\bf d=rt\implies 504=56t\implies \cfrac{504}{56}=t\implies \stackrel{hours}{9}=t$

so, at that speed the whole driving time is 9 hours then. Ok, he drove 2 hours today, that means he drove 7 yesterday, 9 - 2.

how many miles is it for 7 hours at 56mph? d = rt ---> d = 56 * 7

that many miles he drove yesterday.
