Answer: labor force participation rate  =60%

unemployment rate = 6.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

The labor force participation rate is computed as

\text{labor force participation rate}=\dfrac{\text{Total employed persons}}{\text{Total population}}

i.e. \text{labor force participation rate}= \dfrac{72000}{120000}

= 0.6\ or\ 60 \%

The unemployment rate is computed as:

\text{unemployment rate}=\dfrac{\text{Number of personsdon't have jobs }}{\text{Total population}}\\\\\text{unemployment rate}=\dfrac{8000}{120000}\\\\\text{unemployment rate}=0.0667\ or\ 6.67\%

Hence, labor force participation rate  =60%

unemployment rate = 6.67%

Sue needs to drive 372 miles to visit her aunt. She stopped at a gas station one-third of the way in to her trip. How many miles
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Sue has traveled 124 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the distance covered by Sue is a fraction of the total distance to be covered.

The total distance to her aunt's = 372 miles

but the gas station is at one-third of the distance to be covered.

Thus,

Miles traveled by Sue = \frac{1}{3} x 372

                                    = 124

Miles traveled by Sue = 124 miles.

Therefore Sue has traveled 124 miles.
