Answer:

179 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write an equation to represent the cost of the rental, and then you can solve the equation to find the number of hours.

Let m = number of minutes.

The total cost is the cost per minute plus the fee to start.

1 minute costs $0.12.

2 minutes cost $0.12 * 2

x minutes cost $0.12 * x, or simply 0.12x.

The fee to start is $2, so the total to rent for m minutes is 0.12m + 2.

The equation

c = 0.12m + 2

gives you the cost, c, for a rental of m minutes.

We are told the total cost was $23.48. Replace c with 23.48, and solve for m, the number of minutes.

23.48 = 0.12m + 2

Switch sides.

0.12m + 2 = 23.48

Subtract 2 from both sides.

0.12m = 21.48

Divide both sides by 0.12

m = 21.48/0.12

m = 179

The area of a square region is 169 m2 (square)

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

A. 13m

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a square you multiply Length by the Height. Since squares have equal length sides the number has to be the same for the length and the height.

13 x 13 = 169

$\sqrt{169} = 13$

a girl wants to count the steps of a moving escalator which is going up. if she is going up on it, she counts 60 steps. if she i

Leto [7]

Let

x--------> the speed of the girl in step

y--------> the speed of the escalator in step

d------> the distance between ground and floor.

we know that

$speed=\frac{distance}{time} \\ \\ time=\frac{distance}{speed}$

when the girl is going up on escalator

$x-y=\frac{d}{60}$ ----> equation $1$

when the girl is going down on escalator

$x+y=\frac{d}{90}$ -------> equation $2$

Adds equation $1$ and equation $2$

$2x=\frac{d}{60} +\frac{d}{90} \\ \\ 2x=\frac{5}{180} d$

$x=\frac{5}{360}d$ --------> equation $3$

Time to climb (in step) with y=0 (escalator standing still)

$x*t=d\\\\ t=\frac{d}{x}$ -----> equation $4$

Substitute equation $3$ in equation $4$

$t=\frac{d}{\frac{5d}{360}} \\ \\ t=\frac{360}{5} \\ \\ t=72 steps$

therefore

the answer is

$72 steps$

What is the total cost of $ 2.95 notebook plus 5 %

nordsb [41]

First, you convert 5% to decimal. For your info, percents are always equal to 100. So, you divide 5 by a 100, which gives you 0.05. Then, you multiply 2.95 by 0.05. 2.95 x 0.05 is 0.1475 which is about 0.15. Then, you add 0.15 to 2.95. The total cost of a $2.95 notebook plus 5% is about $3.10.
