4 0

Answer:

x = 2.4/20= 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply both sides by 4 to eliminate the fraction 1/4:

1      20

--- = ------

x      2.4

Next, we cross-multiply.  This eliminates the fractions:

20x = 2.4

Dividing both sides by 20 results in an equation for x:  x = 2.4/20= 0.12

I hope you mean 1/5 when you say 1 5. If that's what you mean, then both, Joshua and Melanie, are correct because, both of their equations are the same. 

Joshua's - <span>8 ÷ 1/5 = 40 (Since we can divide a number by fraction, we use this rule: keep, change flip. When we use that Joshua's equation turns into 8 * 5/1 = 8*5 = 40, same as Melanie's.)</span>

A ferry operator takes tourists to an island.
Oksanka [162]

The fare of $(20 - 2.5) = $17.5 will maximize the total fare.

<h3>What is Differentiation?</h3>

Differentiation means the rate of change of one quantity with respect to another. The speed is calculated as the rate of change of distance with respect to time.

Here, The operator for a round-trip fare of $20, carries an average of 500 people per day.

It is estimated that 20 fewer people will take the trip, for each $1 increase in fare.

for $x  increase in fare, 20x less people will take the trip and at that time the total fare F is given by  

f(x) =(20 + x)(500 - 20x)

f (x) = 10000 + 100x - 20x²

For f(x) to be maximum, the condition is dy/dx = 0

 100 - 40x = 0

⇒ x = 2.5  

Thus, the fare of $(20 - 2.5) = $17.5 will maximize the total fare.

A Speedboat increases in speed uniformly from 20m/s to 30m/s for 12.2 s. What is the acceleration of the speedboat?
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

0.82 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

initial velocity=20m/s

Final velocity= 30m/s

Time = 12.2s

Applying the formula

a= v-u/t

a= 30-20/12.2

a= 10/12.2

a= 0.819

a=0.82 m/s^2
