Answer:

This route is 112 miles long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the passeneger meant to get off at Station A but instead got off at Station B. We are told that the distance from Boston to Station A is 1/3 of the train's total route. Let's say that the train's total route is x miles long. Now we can say that the distance from Boston to Station A is 1/3x.

We are told that the distance from Station A to Station B is 14 miles.

We are also told that the distance from Station B to the end of the route is 13/24 of the whole route. Since we already decided that the whole route is x miles long, we can say that the distance from Station B to the end route is 13/24x.

Add up all of these distances to get the total distance of the trains route:

13/24x+14+1/3x=x.

14+13/24x+8/24x=x

14+21/24x=x

14=3/24x

14=1/8x

112=x

Hope this helps!

Grovell works at Walmart. He earns $12 per hour. The store offers him a raise of 5% increase per hour.
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

$ 12.6 / h

Step-by-step explanation:

5% of 12 = 0.05 * 12 = 0.6

Now adding it to the amount he makes, since it is a raise:

0.6 + 12 = 12.6 $ / h

Another (and faster) way to calculate it:

1.05 * 12 = 12.6

PLEASE HELP!!! PLEASE EXPLAIN AND SHOW WORK!!!! THANK YOU !!!!
liraira [26]

Answer:

t = 2.5 s

Step-by-step explanation:

h(t)=-16t^2 +80t+96

height will be greatest when the derivative (velocity) is zero

h'(t) = v(t) = -32t + 80

            0 = -32t + 80

         32t = 80

             t = 80/32 = 2.5 s

notice that 0 = -32t + 80 is just a version of the kinematic equation

v = u + at

where v is final velocity at the top of the arc or zero

u is the initial upward velocity or 80 ft/s

a is gravity or -32  ft/s²

t is time in seconds

Answer:

\displaystyle n^3-\frac{1}{n^{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Exponents Properties</u>

We need to recall the following properties of exponents:

(a^x)^y=(a^y)^x=a^{xy}

\displaystyle a^{-x}=\frac{1}{a^x}

We are given the expression:

2^m=n

We need to express the following expression in terms of n.

8^m-4^{-m}

It's necessary to modify the expression to use the given equivalence.

Recall 8=2^3 \text{ and }4 = 2^2. Thus:

(2^3)^m-(2^2)^{-m}

Applying the property:

(2^m)^3-(2^m)^{-2}

Substituting the given expression:

n^3-n^{-2}

Or, equivalently:

\mathbf{\displaystyle 8^m-4^{-m}= n^3-\frac{1}{n^{2}}}

Sammy earns money for college by walking dogs and mowing lawns. She earns $3 for each dog she walks and $25 for each lawn she mo
Oxana [17]

Answer:

x = 3w + 25m

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of dogs she walks (w) and the number of lawns that Sammy mows (m) need to be multiplied by the amount of money that Sammy makes from each individual action. Both of these products are then added together to equal the total amount of money that Sammy has earned. All of this can be represented with the following expression where x is the total amount of money earned...

x = 3w + 25m
