A thrill ride at an amusement park holds a maximum of 12 people per ride. a. Write and solve an inequality to find the least number of rides needed for 15,000 people
b. Do you think it is possible for 15,000 to ride the thrill ride in 1 day? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The equation is 12x = 15,000  and the answer is  x = 125. 125 is how many rides you use so 15,000 people get to ride.
Answer 2
Answer:

Answer: a) The least number of rides needed for 15000 people is 1250.

b) No

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of people an amusement park holds = 12 people per ride.

Number of people is needed for the least number of rides = 15000

Let the number of rides be 'x'.

a) So, our inequality will be

12x<15000\n\nx<(15000)/(12)\n\nx<1250

Hence,the least number of rides needed for 15000 people is 1250.

b) Do you think it is possible for 15,000 to ride the thrill ride in 1 day? Explain.

Since there is 1250 rides, and

If we assume that the amusement park is open for 8 hours.

Then, each ride takes

(1250)/(8* 60)\n\n=3.47\ minutes

But each rides takes atleast 5 minutes.

So, it is not possible to ride the thrill ride in 1 day.

Answer:

The parallelograms PQRS and TUVW are not alike.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram, if one angle is known, then all the other angles can also be determined.  

Now, parallelograms PQRS and TUVW have one angle of 120° equal.  

So, the other three angles will be the same for them.

The adjacent sides of the parallelogram PQRS are 8 ft and  12 ft. and the adjacent sides of the parallelogram TUVW are 2.4 ft and 5.2 ft.

So the ratios of sides of the two parallelograms are (8)/(2.4) = 3.33 and (12)/(5.2) = 2.3 which are not equal.

So, the parallelograms PQRS and TUVW are not alike. (Answer)

An object moves backwards from where it starts 100 meters in 20 seconds. What is the velocity of the object? Select one:

5 m/s2


-5 m/s


5 m/s


- 5 m/s2

Answers

5m/s

The formula to find the velocity is distance/time.

So 100/20 is 5m/s.
It’s not 5m/s2 because this is the unit for acceleration.
And it’s not negative because it is not possible for the velocity to be negative.

What is 11+3x+x=2x-11​

Answers

Answer:

X= -11

Step-by-step explanation:

11+3x+x=2x-11              Original

11+4x = 2x-11                Combine Like Terms

22 + 4x =2x                 Add 11 to both sides

22=-2x                         Subtract 4x from both sides

x=-11                             Divide both sides by -2
11+3x+x=2x-11
11+4x=2x-11
-2x -2x
11+2x=-11
-11 -11
2x=-22
X=-11
