Answer:
300 m/min
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the general formula of d = rt, where d = distance, r = rate and t = time, we can solve for the missing variable (r, or speed). Given Tara's distance of 1600 m and her total time of 5 minutes and 20 seconds, first convert her time into just minutes:
5 
5
1600 = r(16/3)
Multiply both sides by reciprocal of 16/3: 3/16(1600) = r(16/3)(3/16)
Solve for 'r': 300 meters per minute
Answer:
you just add 35 to her bill
This question is pretty confusing in the way that i'm not entirely sure what it wants the answer to be, but i'll do my best.
i used the simple interest formula to come up with the equations, and the formula is I = PRT, (I) being interest, (P) being the amount, (R) being the rate of interest, (T) being the time, in months
b = the balance on the customer's account
c = service charge
t = number of months
if b > 1000, then c = b*.008t
if b </= to 1000, then c = b*.012t
if b < 50, then c = t
if b = 0, then c = 0
it looks really confusing but i'm hoping it's lining up with what you're learning and not completely ?????
i created the restrictions with the inequalities based on the given information of what happens when a balance exceeds 1000, is less than 1000, is less than 50, and is 0.
i used the remainder of the given information in the problem to get the equations -- the interest rate for b > 1000 is 0.8%, which is .008, b </= 1000 is .012, and so on. i hope this wasn't too terribly confusing, and let me know if you have any questions about how i came up with the equations!!
I hope this helps you
