Answer:

105 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Written as a proportion, the ratio of km to cm will be the same for both distances:

(x km)/(17.5 cm) = (15 km)/(2.5 cm)

x km = (15 km)(17.5/2.5) = 105 km

105 actual kilometers are represented by 17.5 cm on the map.

An object is dropped from a small plane. As the object falls, its distance, d, above the ground after t seconds, is given by the

DedPeter [7]

The inequality can be used to find the interval of time taken by the object to reach the height greater than 300 feet above the ground is:

$d = -16t^2 + 1000$

Solution:

The object falls, its distance, d, above the ground after t seconds, is given by the formula:

$d = -16t^2 + 1000$

To find the time interval in which the object is at a height greater than 300 ft

Frame a inequality,

$-16t^2 + 1000 > 300$

Solve the inequality

Subtract 1000 from both sides

$-16t^2 + 1000 - 1000 > 300 - 1000\\\\-16t^2 > -700$

$16t^2 < 700\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 16\\\\t^2 < \frac{700}{16}\\\\Take\ square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\\\t < \sqrt{\frac{700}{16}}\\\\t < \pm 6.61$

Time cannot be negative

Therefore,

t < 6.61

And the inequality used is: $-16t^2 + 1000>300$

Zinaida [17]

H + c = 605
c = h + 55

h + h + 55 = 605
2h + 55 = 605
2h = 605 - 55
2h = 550
h = 550/2
h = 275 <== there were 275 hamburgers sold on Friday

c = h + 55
c = 275 + 55
C = 330...there were 330 cheeseburgers sold on Friday
