Answer:
43 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that in Cherokee County, the speed tickets amounts are calculated on the basis of $17 for each mile above the speed limit.
Since Kirk was fined $221, we can easily calculate the excess speed he was caught at by dividing $221 by $17/mile, which gives us 13 miles.

Since he was caught in a zone where the posted speed limit was 30, and that he exceeded it by 13 miles per hour... we know he was going at 43 miles per hour.

I hope this helps you :)

Answer:

H

Step-by-step explanation:

The fine for speeding is $17 mile per hour. Thus, for speeding for a total of x miles per hour above the posted speed limit of 30 mile per hour, there will be a fine of: 17(x - 30)

x in the equation is the speed of the driver and the negative sign in the equation shows that the driver was traveling at a total speed greater than the posted speed limit (thus, x - 30 is the speed above the posted speed limit in which the driver will be fined for)

Since the driver was fined $221, the equation becomes:

17(x - 30) = 221

divide both sides by 17

x - 30 = 221/17

x - 30 = 13

x = 13 + 30

x = 43

The driver was fined for travelling at a speed of 43 miles per hour which is 13 greater than the posted speed limit.

Use the model to show to help find the sum 0.34 plus 0.49
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

The idea to use in solving this problem using the model, is to express the number of shaded boxes in fraction form.

Thus, the blue red shaded boxes has 34 boxes shaded out of 100 boxes. This represents \frac{34}{100}. This will give us 0.34.

The other shaded boxes represents \frac{49}{100} = 0.49.

Using the model, we can solve 0.34 + 0.49.

Add both fractions together.

\frac{34}{100} + \frac{49}{100} = \frac{34+49}{100}

\frac{83}{100} = 0.83

The highest common factor of two DIFFERENT numbers 21 and Δ is 21.
nadezda [96]

Step-by-step explanation:

it is a multiple of 21.

the highest common factor of 2 numbers is the longest combination of prime factors they have in common.

the prime factors of 21 are simply

3×7

if another number A shares this as the longest combination of prime factors, that means it contains 3×7 itself in its prime factors.

and that means this number A can only be a multiple of 3×7 (= 21), as other prime factors present would be the factor of 21.
