A crew of highway workers paved 1/5 mile in 1/8 hour. If they work at the same rate, how much will they

Mathematics

Elan Coil [88]3 years ago

Answer:

The easiest approach is to realise that one hour is 3 times longer than 20 minutes. The longer the time, the more they will pave.

215 of a mile, in 20 minutes, how much in 60 minutes?#

They will pave 3 times more.

215×31=615 of a mile

615=25 of a mile

You could also use the 'unitary method' where you find out how much they pave in ONE minute (divide by 20) and them multiply by 60 to find how much in one hour.

Look at what happens:

215÷20×60

=215×120×603

=215×3 ← exactly the same maths.

=25

A cubic box is completely filled with 2,179 g of water. What is the length of one side of the box, in meters? m Explain your rea
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

l\approx 1.296\,cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The water density is approximately 1 gram per cubic centimeter, which means that 1 gram of water occupies a volume of a cubic centimeter. Hence, 2.179 grams occupies a volume of 2.179 cubic centimeters.

Let assume volume occupied by the water has a cube-like shape, whose side has the following measure:

l = \sqrt[3]{2.179\,m^{3}}

l\approx 1.296\,cm

Using a directrix of y = −2 and a focus of (1, 6), what quadratic function is created? Question 3 options:
deff fn [24]

If your directrix is a "y=" line, that means that the parabola opens either upwards or downwards (as opposed to the left or the right). Because it is in the character of a parabola to "hug" the focus, our parabola opens upwards. The vertex of a parabola sits exactly halfway between the directrix and the focus. Since our directrix is at y = -2 and the focus is at (1, 6) AND the parabola opens upward, the vertex is going to sit on the main transversal, which is also the "line" the focus sits on. The focus is on the line x = 1, so the vertex will also have that x coordinate. Halfway between the y points of the directrix and the focus, -2 and 6, respectively, is the y value of 2. So the vertex sits at (1, 2). The formula for this type of parabola is (x-h)^2=4p(y-k) where h and k are the coordinates of the vertex and p is the DISTANCE that the focus is from the vertex. Our focus is 4 units from the vertex, so p = 4. Filling in our h, k, and p: (x-1)^2=4(4)(y-2). Simplifying a bit gives us (x-1)^2=16(y-2). We can begin to isolate the y by dividing both sides by 16 to get \frac{1}{16}(x-1)^2=y-2. Then we can add 2 to both sides to get the final equation f(x)=\frac{1}{16}(x-1)^2+2, choice 4 from above.

Which of these debts could possibly be forgiven under Chapter 7 bankruptcy? A. Credit Card Debt B. Child Support C. Alimony D. A
a_sh-v [17]
Chapter 7 - Bankruptcy is a very beneficial means for those facing severe financial uncertainty or debts. And even though it cannot remove all your liability, it can help you eliminate a number of arrears so you can begin working to reestablish your credit score. These are the debts which are not forgiven in Chapter 7: student loans, child support, alimony payments, majority of taxes you owe and secured or collateral debts.

So the answer is A. Credit Card. A credit card debt can be forgiven under chapter 7 because it is the main reason why people file for bankruptcy just to discharge their credit card balance.

Write the equation of the line parallel to 2x - 6y = 12 that passes through the point ( -1, 4).​
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

y = 1/3x + 4 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 6y = 12

First find the slope

Solve for y

Subtract 2x

2x - 6y -2x= 12-2x

-6y = -2x+12

Divide by -6

-6y/-6 =-2x/-6 +12/-6

y = 1/3 x -2

The slope is 1/3

Parallel lines have the same slope

Using the slope intercept form y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 1/3x +b

And substituting in the point

4 = 1/3 (-1) +b

4 = -1/3 +b

Add 1/3 to each side

4 + 1/3 = b

y = 1/3x + 4 1/3
