Mathematics

Bingel [31]2 years ago

Answer:

Maria's book is 202 pages long, Brandon's book is 146 pages long

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set this up with 2 variables: lets say that Maria's book length is x and Brandon's is y.

We can see that Maria's book is 56 pages longer than Brandon's and can come up with an equation:

x=y+56

We also see that their booklengths add up to 348, and can get:

x+y=348

From here, we solve for x and y. We can use substitution to find y.

x+y=348

(y+56)+y=348

2y=292

y=146

Here we plug in for x:

x=y+56

x=(146)+56

x=202

Therefor we get that Maria's book is 202 pages long, Brandon's book is 146 pages long

Strike441 [17]

The function based on the information will be S = -0.005D + 95.

<h3>How to illustrate the function?</h3>

It should be noted that d is the distance from the starting point while S is the speed.

The points given are (0 95)( 4000, 75).

Slope = (75 - 95)(4000 - 0)

= 0.005

The equation will be:

S = -0.005D + 95

The aspect ratio of a TV screen is a ratio of the screen's width to the screen's height. Suppose that Noel recycles an old TV sc
Paul [167]

If the diagonal is 32 than you will us

A^2 + b^2 = c^2

We will use the aspect ratio to find a common variable

4A = 3B

a = (3/4)B now plug it in

((3/4)B)^2 + b^2 = 32 (This is because c is the diagonal)

Now solve for B

B turns out to be 25.577 inches

Plug B in

A = (3/4)(25.577)

A = 19.18

Now add up ther perimeter A + A + B + B

19.18 + 19.18 + 25.577 + 25.577

89.6 inches

20% of city employees ride the bus to work. This is up 10% from last year. What percent of employees rode the bus to work last y
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

18.18% of employees rode the bus to work last year

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

Last year, a proportion of x employees riding the bus was 100% = 1.

This year, 20% = 0.2 ride the bus, which is 100 + 10 = 110% = 1.1 of last year.

So

0.2 - 1.1

x - 1

1.1x = 0.2

x = \frac{0.2}{1.1}

x = 0.1818

0.1818*100 = 18.18%

18.18% of employees rode the bus to work last year
