Answer:

-7 feet or 7 feet below sea level

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the absolute value to solve this problem.

There are two ways that we can solve this:

Solution 1: |3 - 10| = 7

Solution 2: 10 - 3 = 7

Hope this helped!

Remark

I'll do two from each group, leaving you with 1. I just leave the answer for the one I don't do or a hint it it is long. That's more than we are instructed to do (which is three parts per posted question).

One

Two ratios form a proportion because they both equal the same thing when you reduce them to the point where the ratios are prime to each other.

3/4 = 12/16

3/4 can't be reduced any further. When both 12 and 16 are divided by 4, the result is 3/4

Two

Formula

Sale Price/Original Price = 3/4

Solve

Sale Price / 64 = 3/4 Multiply both sides by 64

Sale Price = (3/4)*64

Sale Price = 48

Three

682 Trillion atoms of hydrogen.

Four

Formula

rotations / 40 seconds = rotations / second

Solve

2000 / 40 seconds = rotations / 1 second Just divide

50 rotations/1 second = rotations / second.

Five

Formula

Herd of cows / Total pounds of milk = 1 cow / pounds of milk

Given

Herd = 12

pounds total = 224998

Solve

12/224998 = 1 / x Cross multiply

12x = 224998

x = 18750 pounds of milk for 1 cow.

Six

0.5 m in 1 second.

Seven

Formula

Pages / hour = pages / minute

pages / hour = 4.5

1 hour = 60 minutes.

Solve

4.5 / 1 hour. But 1 hour = 60 min

4.5 pages / 60 min = 0.075 pages per minute.

Note this is not a true proportion. You just have to know how it is done.

Eight

This is also not a true proportion. The best way to do this is called unit analysis.

$\dfrac{18feet}{2seconds} * \dfrac{1 mile}{5280 feet}\dfrac{3600sec}{1hour}$

Each set of units on the right will cancel with a set of units on the left until all that you area left with is miles / hour. Then just multiply the numerator numbers together and denominator numbers together.

numerator: 18 * 1 * 3600 = 64800

denominator: 2 * 5280 * 1 = 10560

Now divide the numerator by the denominator.

answer: numerator/denominator = 64800/10560 = 6.14 miles per hour.

Nine

Note: there are 1760 yards in a mile.

1 gallon will take you 32000 yards or 18 miles. Do this the same way eight was done.

Luda [366]

Answer:

$36,027.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say her salary in the first year is s1. So, in the second year her salary will be 2% higher than x, this is, s1 + s1*0.02, so:

s2 = s1 + 0.02s1 = 1.02s1

Then in year 3 it will be s2 plus a 0.02 increase:

s3 = s2 + 0.02s2 = 1.02(s2) = 1.02 (1.02 s1) = 1.02^2(s1)

Then the same for s4: s3 salary plus the increase.

s4 = s3 + 0.02s3 = 1.02(s3) = 1.02 (1.02 s2) = 1.02(1.02*1.02 s1) =1.02^3(s1)

Finally for the 5th monts:

s5 = 1.02(s4) = 1.02^4(s1)

We know that s1+s2+s3+s4+s5 = 187,345

Lets replace all the salaries by its value depending on s1

s1 + 1.02s1 + 1.02^2(s1) + 1.02^3(s1) + 1.02^4(s1) = 187,345

We can add to the first term a s1^0 as it is eqaul to 1

s1 + 1.02s1 + 1.02^2(s1) + 1.02^3(s1) + 1.02^4(s1) = 187,345

Lets get 1s1 out as common factor:

s1 (1 + 1.02^1 + 1.02^2 + 1.02^3 + 1.02^4) = 187,345

s1 *5.20 = 187,345

Divide both sides by 5.20

s1 = 36,027.9

So, her salary in the 1st month was approximately $36,027.9
