Answer:
- 8 3/4
- 2, 3
- 4 1/2, 11 1/4
- 9 3/4, 16 1/4
- Y/B = 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>a)</h3>
The first line is simply the sum of the two given numbers.
3 1/2 +5 1/4 = (3+5) +(2/4+1/4) = 8 3/4
__
To find values on the remaining lines, it is convenient to find the ratios of the numbers involved. The ratio of yellow to blue is ...
Y/B = (3 1/2)/(5 1/4) = (7/2)/(21/4) = (7/2)(4/21) = 2/3
Then ...
Y : B : total = 2 : 3 : 5
This tells you the numbers on the second line are ...
Y = 2; B = 3
__
The value for B on the third line is the basic ratio number multiplied by (6 3/4)/3 = 2 1/4. Then the other two numbers are ...
Y = 2(2 1/4) = 4 1/2
total = 5(2 1/4) = 11 1/4
__
The value for Y on the fourth line is the basic ratio number multiplied by (6 1/2)/2 = 3 1/4. Then the other two numbers are ...
B = 3(3 1/4) = 9 3/4
total = 5(3 1/4) = 16 1/4
_____
<h3>b)</h3>
The equation is the one we used to find the values on the second line:
Y/B = 2/3
You must drive more than 40 miles to make option A the cheaper plan
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Two payment options to rent a car
Let "x" be the number of miles driven in one day
<em><u>You can pay $20 a day plus 25¢ a mile (Option A)</u></em>
25 cents is equal to 0.25 dollars
OPTION A : 20 + 0.25x
<em><u>You pay $10 a day plus 50¢ a mile (Option B)</u></em>
50 cents equal to 0.50 dollars
Option B: 10 + 0.50x
<em><u>For what amount of daily miles will option A be the cheaper plan ?</u></em>
For option A to be cheaper, Option A must be less than option B
Option A < Option B
Solve the inequality
Add -0.50x on both sides
Add - 20 on both sides,
Divide both sides by 0.25
Thus you must drive more than 40 miles to make option A the cheaper plan
Answer:
Answer is after 20 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
10 +2.5x = 3x
10 = 3x-2.5x
10=0.5x
10/.5=x
x=20
At 20 miles they both have a cost of 60
