Selma's class is making care packages to give to victims of a natural disaster. Selma packs one box in 5 minutes and has already packed 12 boxes. Her friend Trudy packs one box in 7 minutes and has already packed 18 boxes. How many more minutes does each need to work in order to have backed the same number of boxes?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Every 35 minutes Selma packs 7 boxes, while Trudy packs 5 boxes.

Thus every 35 minutes Selma decreases the difference between them in 2 boxes.

Since the original difference was 6 boxes, Selma needs 3 times 35 minutes, or 105 minutes, in all, to catch Trudy.

Answer- 105 minutes, or 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Taylor graphs the system below on her graphing calculator and decides that f(x)=g(x) at x=0, x=1, and x=3. Provide Taylor some feedback that explains which part of her answer is incorrect and why it is incorrect. f(x)=2x+1g(x)=2x^2+1

Answers

Answer:

f(x)=g(x) at x= 0 and x= 1 and not at x= 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the functions, f(x)=2x+1 and g(x)=2x^2+1.

It is given that,

At x=0, x=1, and x=3, f(x)=g(x)

i.e. 2x+1=2x^2+1

i.e. 2x^2-2x=0

i.e. 2x(x-1)=0

i.e. x= 0 and (x-1)= 0

i.e. x= 0 and x= 1.

Also, after plotting the graphs of both the functions, we see their intersection point are (0,1) and (1,3).

Thus, we get that f(x)=g(x) at x= 0 and x= 1 and not at x= 3.

The Green Team teachers decide to order Urban Cookhouse and theirtotal is $70. If they add a 22% tip what is their total cost?

Hurry please!

Answers

70 * 0.22 = 15.4
70 + 15.4 = $85.40
The total cost is $85.40

Answer:

85.40

Step-by-step explanation: This is because if you do $70*22%, this gives $15.4. Now add this to $70 to get 80.40!  So, the total is 80.40.

492

Step-by-step explanation:

  • aₙ = 10n - 8
  • a₂₀ = 10*20 - 8 = 200 - 8 = 192
  • a₅₀ = 10*50 - 8 = 500 - 8 = 492

Answer:  B) 6 minutes

============================================================

Explanation:

Let's find the slope of the table. This will tell us the rate of change.

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (25250 - 26375)/(2 - 1) .... I used the first two rows

m = -1125/1

m = -1125

The slope of -1125 means the plane's altitude is decreasing at a rate of 1125 feet per minute. This is the descent speed.

Since we're told the initial altitude was 27500 ft, this means b = 27500

This means y = mx+b turns into y = -1125x+27500

x is the number of minutes and y is the altitude at time x

As a way to check this, plug in various x values of the table. You should get corresponding y values that match the table. I'll let you do this part.

------------------

Now plug in y = 16250 and solve for x

y = -1125x+27500

16250 = -1125x+27500

-1125x+27500 = 16250

-1125x = 16250-27500

-1125x = -11250

x = -11250/(-1125)

x = 10

It takes 10 minutes after the descent period has started, for the pilot to get to 16,250 ft.

Since the pilot was contacted at the x = 4 minute mark, this means 10-4 = 6 minutes is the duration needed for the pilot to go from 23,000 ft to 16,250 ft.

A students wants to help her mother in their family store in displaying canned goods. Her mother instructed that the canned should be piled in triangular pile by starting 40 canned goods in the bottom row, 36 in the second row, 32 in the third row, and so on. If the pattern is consistent, how many canned goods will be there in the 7th row?

Answers

Answer: The number of canned goods in 7th row = 64.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given numbers of canned goods in every row( starting from first ) is represented as

40 , 36, 32, ...

There is a common difference between numbers(d)= 4

∴ Its is an Arithmetic progression.

First term (a) = 40

nth term in A.P. : a(n)= a+(n-1)d

7th term in this A.P. = 40+(7-1)(4)=40+(6)(4)=40+24=64

So, the number of canned goods in 7th row = 64.

2/3, 9/16, 0.52

Answers

First of all, you have to change the numbers in to the same form so I am going to change it to percentage.
2/3 =  0.66 
9/16 = 0.56                   So= 0.52, 9/16, 2/3
0.52
0.52, 9/16, 2/3 because if you turn the numbers to decimals you will get 9/16 as 0.5625, and 2/3 as 0.666 so it's 0.52, 9/16, 2/3.
