Hi there!

»»————-　★　————-««

I believe your answer is:

$1.50

»»————-　★　————-««

Here’s why:

Assuming that the cake has one slice per person (16 slices):

⸻⸻⸻⸻

$\frac{\text{price}}{\text{slice}}\\\\\rightarrow \frac{24}{16}\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{1.50}$

⸻⸻⸻⸻

Each slice should cost $1.50.

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.

What percent of 60 is 51

vova2212 [387]

51=?
60 100

Then you cross-multiply the 51 and the 100 and get 5,100.

Next you take the 5,100 and divide it by the 60 which gives you your final answer of 85%.

For the first 30 km, the bicyclist rode with a speed of v km/hour. For the remaining 17 km he rode with a speed which was 2 km/h

damaskus [11]

Answer:

t= 2.52 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that for first 30 km, the speed of bicyclist is v km/hour

time taken to cover first 30 km is given by

$t_{1} =\frac{30}{v}$ ( $time=\frac{distance}{speed}$ )

for next 17 km the speed of bicyclist is 2 km/hour greater than his original speed

so the speed to cover next 17 km = v+2

time taken to cover next 17 km is given by

$t_{2} =\frac{17}{v+2}$

now total time t spent by the bicyclist to cover entire trip is given by

$t=t_{1} +t_{2}$

$t=\frac{30}{v} +\frac{17}{v+2}$

now if v=18 , we have

$t=\frac{30}{18} +\frac{17}{20}$

now to add fractions we make the denominator same

Hence we will find the LCM of 18 and 20

LCM of 18 and 20 = 180

now we need to make both the denominator equal to 180

$t=\frac{30(10)}{18(10)} +\frac{17(9)}{20(9)}$ $t=\frac{300}{180} +\frac{153}{180} =\frac{300+153}{180}$

$t=\frac{453}{180} =2.52$ hours (approx)

What is the oblique asymptote of gx) = x2-3x-5?

oee [108]

Answer:

B) $y=x-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Because $g(x)=\frac{x^2-3x-5}{x+2}$ simplifies to $x-5+\frac{5}{x+2}$ , we only care about the quotient, which will be our oblique asymptote equation. Therefore, the oblique asymptote for the function will be $y=x-5$ . See the attached graph for a visual.
