Answer:

12 noon

Step-by-step explanation:

Clock 1 loses 3 minutes every 2 hours. Now, 2 hours = 120 minutes.

This means, it has speed of 120 - 3 = 117 minutes for every 2 hours.

Thus, in 1 hours, it's speed = 117/2 = 58.5 min/hr

Clock 2 gains 3 minutes every 4 hours

Which means in an hour, it gains ; 4/3 minutes

Thus, it's speed an hour is; 60 + 4/3 = 61.333 min/hr

Now, When he returns home in less than two weeks, the clocks show the same time.

let's say the number of hours he was away is x. For the 2 clocks to show the same time, it means they have to show it by 12 noon at another day since it was at noon that he set the correct times before leaving.

Thus, they will both be showing 12 noon.

Maria earns $80 per day working at a gas station. Write an algebraic expression to represent the amount of money she will earn i
Simora [160]

Answer:

The algebraic expression is 80d

Maria's earnings per day = $80

Number of days= d

Total earnings for d days:

80d

Where,

80 is earnings per day

d is number of days

The algebraic expression is 80d

Algebraic equation is

y= 80d

Where

y= total income earned in d days

The expression is different from am equation because of the equal to sign(=)

The value of a car is expected to decrease exponentially. Which formula can you use to predict the value of the car for a given
IgorLugansk [536]
Hey there!

When the value of something goes down over time- a house, a car, anything- it's called depreciation. 

It would be expressed as exponential decay. This is because the value is going down exponentially as stated in the problem. Additionally, when it decays, the growth factor is less than one, so the value steadily decreases.

Let's rule out our other options:

B) Half-Life. This doesn't work because it's usually used for radioactive decay, which is usually a steady decrease of radioactivity and material that divides by two, hence the word half. For example:

Day 0) Started with 10 grams of plutonium
Day 1) 5 grams
Day 2) 2.5 grams

And so on.

C) Compound Interest. Like simple interest, but compunds usually at a certain point - yearly, monthly, every ten years, and so on. But, this is used for interest, mostly in a bank account or if you have a loan. It doesn't exhibit depreciation, and therefore it's not used to predict car value.

D) Exponential Growth- Exponential growth does not work for one main reason - it grows. That would mean that the value of the car goes up- and unless it's an old and very expensive car, that wouldn't be the case.

Hope this helps!
