Destin walked 2km and Jane walked 4,000 ft. What is the approximate combined distance they walked? Note: 1 Foot (ft) is equal to

Anna11 [10]

Answer: Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data is:

Destin walked 2km

Jane walked 4000ft.

Let's write both of those in the same units.

The data given is:

1ft = 0.0003048km.

and 4000ft is 4000 times that:

4000ft = 4000*1ft = 4000*0.0003048km = 1.22km

Then if we add those, we get:

Total distance = 2km + 1.22km = 3.22km

So we can already discard option D.

Now, we know that:

1km = 0.6214 miles.

then 3.22 km is 3.22 times that amount:

3.22km = 3.22*1km = 3.22*(0.6214 mi) = 2 miles

The correct option is C.

Joe is buying a jacket that originally costs $59.27 but is on sale for 10% off. Sales tax is 7%. What is the total cost of the j

postnew [5]

Hello!

10% off means there's a discount on the jacket, so we will be finding how much the discount is worth and then we'll subtract that from the original cost of the jacket.
Sales tax is basically additional money added to the cost of an item, so we will find what the sales tax is on this and then add that to the cost.

59.27 * 10% = 5.927

59.27 - 5.927 = 53.343

Now, find and add the sales tax.

53.343 * 7% = 3.73401

53.343 + 3.73401 = 57.07701

Round this to 57.1

The total cost of the jacket is $57.1.

$y=-x^{2} -5x-6$

$y=-(x^2+5x+6)$

$y=-(x+3)(x+2)$

Set each factors equal to zero.

$(x+3)=0 , x=-3$

$x+2=0 , x=-2$

The x-int is

Six times a number increased by 20 is four less than eight times the number. Find the number

DaniilM [7]

Greetings!

"<span>Six times a number increased by 20 is four less than eight times the number. Find the number."...

This would be, as an equation:
</span> $6x+20=8x-4$

Solve:
Add 4 and -6x to both sides.
$(6x+20)+4+(-6x)=(8x-4)+4+(-6x)$
Simplify.
$24=2x$
Divide both sides by 2.
$(24)/2=(2x)/2$
Simplify.
$12=x$
$x=12$
<span>
x=12

Hope this helps.
