#9 - The Question

Mathematics
1 answer:
melamori03 [73]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

  12

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many ways to approach this problem. I like a method that uses the least amount of computation. We could figure how much Wendy makes on a bag of chips, the additional amount Wendy wants to make, then divide the latter by the former to find the number of additional bags to sell.

We could use a proportion to figure the number of bags corresponding to $126 in earnings, then subtract the 72 bags already sold. Essentially, we will do this, but without the intermediate numbers.

__

The additional fraction of 72 bags will be ...

   (126/108) -1 = 18/108 = 1/6

Then Wendy must sell an additional ...

  (1/6)×(72 bags) = 12 bags

to increase her earnings to $126.

Write a rational function that meets the following criteria:
Sliva [168]
You can get a vertical asymptote at x=1 using y = 1/(x-1)
You can generate a hole at x=3 by multiplying by (x - 3/(x - 3) which is undefined at x=3 but otherwise equals 1
You can move the horizontal asymptote up to y=2 by adding 2

y = (x - 3)/((x - 1)(x - 3)) + 2

Brielle and Joshua are running a half marathon race, which is 13.1 miles long. It takes Brielle 10 minutes to run 1.25 miles and
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer: Brielle will run the marathon faster.

Brielle = 104.8 minutes  

Joshua = 157.2 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed rate = distance /time

Brielle = 1.25 /10 = 0.125 miles per minute

Joshua = 1.5/18 = 0.083333 =1/12 miles per minute

Since 0.125 (Brielle) > 1/12 (Joshua)

Brielle will run the marathon faster.

To calculate the time that takes each one to run the entire race (13.1 miles)

Time= distance / speed

  • Brielle = 13.1 /0.125 = 104.8 minutes
  • Joshua = 13.1 / (1/12)= 157.2 minutes

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Laura’s fish tank has 17 liters of water in it. She plans to add 5 liter per minute until the tank has more than 72 liters. What
Hoochie [10]
T= number of minutes

Multiply 5 liters by number of minutes (t), then add the 17 liters already in the tank. This totals 72 liters or more.

17 + 5t ≥ 72
subtract 17 from both sides

5t ≥ 55
divide both sides by 5

t ≥ 11 minutes


ANSWER: Laura could add water for 11 minutes to be sure the tank has 72 liters or more.

Hope this helps! :)
