Jerry walked a dog from 6:40 am to 7:30am . If he was paid $6 per hour how much did he earn
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Amount Jerry earned is $5

Step-by-step explanation:

Jerry is paid $6 per hour.

First we need to find the number of hours he walked the dog.

From 6.40 am to 7.30 am we have 50 minutes. Jerry walked the dog for 50 minutes.

An hour has 60 minutes.

We need to find how much Jerry gets paid for a minute.

Amount paid for a minute     = \frac{$6}{60}

                                               =$0.1

Therefore,

Amount paid for 50 minutes = $0.1 * 50 minutes

                                                =$5

diane places 2 drawers with the same width and height on top of each other. what is the combined volume of the 2 drawers?
sdas [7]
The combined volume of the two shapes is 3510 cubic inches. 

To find the volume of each shape, use the formula: V = LWH.

The small shape is: 16 x 15 x 6 = 1350

The large shape is: 24 x 15 x 6 = 2160

7. Show all work to identify the discontinuity and zero of the function f of x equals 5 x over quantity x squared minus 25.
olganol [36]

Question 1:

For this case we have that the function f (x) = \frac {5x} {x ^ 2-25} is undefined or discontinuous where the denominator equals 0.

x ^ 2-25 = 0\\x ^ 2 = 25\\x = \pm \sqrt {25}\\x_ {1} = + 5\\x_ {2} = - 5

Thus, the function is undefined or discontinuous at +5 and -5.

To find the zeros of the function we match the function to zero and clear "x":

\frac {5x} {x ^ 2-25} = 0

Factoring the denominator, taking into account that the roots are -5 and +5:

\frac {5x} {(x + 5) (x-5)} = 0

We multiply by(x + 5) (x-5)on both sides of the equation:

5x = 0\\x = 0

ANswer:

Discontinuity: + 5, -5

Zero: x = 0

Question 2:

For this case we propose a system of equations:

x: Be the variable that represents the yellow fish

y: Be the variable that represents the green fish

x = y-6\\x = 0.4 (x + y)

We manipulate the second equation:

x = 0.4x + 0.4y\\x-0.4x = 0.4y\\0.6x = 0.4y\\y = \frac {0.6} {0.4} x\\y = 1.5x

We substitute in the first equation:

x = y-6\\x = 1.5x-6\\x-1.5x = -6\\-0.5x = -6\\x = \frac {-6} {- 0.5}\\x = 12

So, we have 12 yellow fish in the aquarium.

y = 1.5 * 12\\y = 18

So, we have 18 green fish.

Answer:

12 yellow fish

18 green fish

A technology company determined that an average of 3 phones were defective for every 200 phones it produced. At this rate, about
Anit [1.1K]
You have to calculate the probability for the given average:
 = 3/200 = 0.015 = 1.5%
For 50,000 phones you have to multiply the probability by 50,000:
0.015*50,000 = 750 phone defectives if the company produced 50,000
