Answer:

Layota

$47.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of hours = x

Given that:

Oscar's charges :

First hour = $25

Additional hours = $15

Thus :

Total charge : 25 + 15(x - 1)

The piece wise equation given for Layota's charge rate :

First 3 hours = $30

Next 3 hours = $20

Hours greater Than 6 = $10

If total hours ; x = 5.5 hours

Oscar :

$25 + $15(5.5 - 1)

$25 + $15(4.5)

$25 + $67.5

= $92.5

Layota:

First 3 hours :

$30 * 3 = $90

Hours left :

$20 * (5.5 - 3)

$20 * 2.5 = 50

Total = $90 + $50 = $140

Layota charges more : 140 > 92.5

Difference :

$140 - $92.5

= $47.5

A kite flying in the air has an 7-ft line attached to it. Its line is pulled taut and casts a 5-ft shadow find the heights of th
Stels [109]

The height of the kite is 4.89 feet

Explanation

The length of the line attached to the kite=7 feet

The length of the shadow that is cast on the ground=5 feet

the system forms a right angled triangle where the taught string of the kite is the hypotenuse, the shadow is the base and the height of the kite above the ground is the height.

H=7 feet

b=5 feet

using pythagoras theorem

h^2+b^2=H^2\\h^2=H^2-b^2\\h^2=7^2-5^2\\=49-25\\=24\\h=\sqrt{24\\} =2\sqrt{6} \\=4.89 feet

The kite is 4.89 feet above the ground

Use the list below to find the upper quartile. 27, 5, 11, 13, 10, 8, 14, 18, 7
Alinara [238K]

Find the  median first. The middle of all the numbers.

5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 18, 27

11 is the median.

Then find the median of the upper quartile.

The upper quartile consists of numbers...

5, 7, 8, 10

Since it is an even set of numbers add the two in the middle and divided by two. So 7 plus 8=  15/2.

7.5 is your upper quartile.
