Answer:

8/7 min  = 1 \frac{1}{7}   minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

A rate 2 2/3 = 8/3 min per tank

B rate 2 min per tank

thus:

A rate = 3/8 tank per min

B rate = 1/2 tank per min

A+ B =  3/8 + 4/8 = 7/8 tank per min

7/8 x = 1

x = 8/7 min

A building makes a 90° angle with the ground. A ladder leans against the building, making a 110° exterior angle with the ground.
liberstina [14]

<u>Answer:</u>

A building makes a 90^{\circ} angle with the ground .The two interior angles are 70^{\circ} and 20^{\circ}

<u>Solution: </u>

Given, a ladder which is against the building wall makes an exterior angle of 110^{\circ}

And building makes a  90^{\circ} angle with the ground.

So, altogether it makes a right angle triangle with ladder as hypotenuse and ground as base leg and building as another leg.  

Now, we know that, sum of exterior angles and interior angles equals to 180^{\circ}

Here, in the case of ground and ladder, exterior angle is 110^{\circ} and interior angle is unknown.

Exterior angle + interior angle = 180

110 + interior angle = 180

Interior angle = 180 – 110

Interior angle = 70^{\circ}

We have found one of the two interior angles of right angle triangle.

We know that, sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degree

Known Interior angle + unknown interior angle + right angle = 180

70 + unknown interior angle + 90 = 180

Unknown interior angle + 160 = 180

Unknown interior angle = 180 - 160

Unknown interior angle = 20^{\circ}

Hence the two interior angles are  70^{\circ} and 20^{\circ}

A bus company took a tour bus on a ferry when there were 30 people aboard. The ferry charged the bus company $180. The following
OLEGan [10]
Problem: A bus company took a tour bus on the ferry when there were 30 people aboard. The ferry charged the bus company $180. The following week, the bus had 50 people on board and the ferry charged them $220. How much is the "base rate" for the empty bus? How much does each person cost? Show this using y = mx + b form.

Solution:
Let x = the number of people on the bus
Let y = the total cost for the bus with its passengers to use the ferry.

Then, when there are 30 people on the bus (x = 30), the cost was $180 (y = 180). This means the point (x, y) = (30, 180).
Also, when there were 50 people on the bus, the cost was $220. So that is the point (50, 220).

You see - we have two points and so we can write the equation of a line that goes through those points. The first thing we have to do is find the slope.

The slope of the line joining two points is the rise divided by the run. That means

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

So we put in the values of (30, 180) and (50, 220):

m = (220 - 180) / (50 - 30)
m = 40 / 20
m = 2.

The slope is 2. Now we can write it in the form y = mx + b, using 2 for m:

y = 2x + b.

This equation connects both points, so that means it goes through those points. We want to know "b" next, so we can now substitute in either point for the x and the y. I will substitute in x = 50 and y = 220:

220 = 2(50) + b
220 = 100 + b
b + 100 = 220
b = 120.

Now I know the b and the m, so I can finally write the full y=mx + b form of the equation:

y = 2x + 120.

For the other questions, I can look at the equation I got. The y-intercept (b value) is $120. That means that we are adding $120 on to the price all the time. That's the price for the empty bus. The 2x means to multiply the number of people by two and add this to the $120. So each person is $2.

Here's an example: if you had just 10 people on the bus, you'd pay $120 for the empty bus and $2 for each person. That's $20 for the people and $120 for the bus. That total is $140. Let's see if (10, 140) works in the equation we got:

y = 2x + 120
140 ?=? 2(10) + 120
140 ?=? 20 + 120
yes. 140 = 140. It does work.

Now you try it with your question.
