Answer:

K=20

Step-by-step explanation:

There seem to be no randomness in the question.

At 1 per minutes the arrival rate is fixed.

Then compute the average cost for each person to give a four, adding the cost of guide and time waiting cost..

Therefore, K is the number of people hoping will show up.

Number of per minute waiting

= 1/2(K-1)K.

Tour cost 20+1/20(K-1).

Cost per guest= 20/k +1/20(K-1)

If the derivative is set to Zero

K=20

If 1 inch is 500 miles, then 4 inches is how many miles?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

2,000 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

1 inch=500 miles

This can be rewritten as:

\frac{500 miles}{1inch}

This is representative of a unit rate, as we have a 1 in the denominator. To calculate the number of miles in 4 inches, simply multiply the unit rate by 4:

\frac{500 miles}{1inch}*4=

\frac{2000 miles}{4 inches}

This can rewritten as:

4inches=2000miles

Therefore, there are 2,000 miles in 4 inches.

-

We can check our solution by simplifying the fraction \frac{2000 miles}{4 inches} by dividing both 2000 and 4 by 4 to see if we achieve the unit rate:

\frac{500 miles}{1 inch}

Since this is in fact the unit rate, our solution is correct!
