Answer:

  √55 ≈ 7.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to find the square root of 55 is to use a calculator.

  √55 ≈ 7.4161984871

Rounded to the nearest tenth, this is ...

  √55 ≈ 7.4

__

You can make a first approximation of the root by linearly interpolating between the roots of the perfect squares* on either side of 55.

  √49 = 7

  √64 = 8

  √55 ≈ 7 +(55 -49)/(64 -49) = 7 6/15 = 7 2/5

  √55 ≈ 7.4

_____

* For numbers greater than 3.3, this sort of approximation will give the value of the root accurate to the nearest tenth. The approximation is better for larger numbers.

Molodets [167]

Answer:

(a)The amount of fuel in dollars = $1.62

(b)The rate equivalent to in U.S. dollars per gallon = $ 1.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Reid will be driving through Spain this summer. He did some research and knows that the average price of gas in Spain is approximately 1.12 euros per liter.

1 USD = 0.69 euros

We have to find the money that we should pay in order to get the same amount of fuel.

1 euro = \frac{1}{0.69}

1 euro = $1.45

So 1.12 euros = 1.12\times1.45 = $1.62

(a)The amount of fuel in dollars = $1.62

(b)The rate equivalent to in U.S. dollars per gallon = $ 1.45

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Adrian's songs played on 9 commercials and 5 movies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes number of commercials and y denotes number of movies.

Total number of commercials and movies = 14

So,

x+y=14\\x=14-y\,\,\,\,...(i)

Adrian will earn $40 every time one of his songs is played in a commercial and he will earn $130 every time one of his songs is played in a movie

Total amount earned = $1010

40x+130y=1010\,\,\,...(ii)

Put x=14-y in (ii)

40(14-y)+130y=1010\\560-40y+130y=1010\\90y=1010-560\\90y=450\\y=\frac{450}{90}=5

Put y=5 in x=14-y

x=14-5=9

Therefore, Adrian's songs played on 9 commercials and 5 movies.
