You and Mr. Fowles have decided to race each other at the Boston Marathon (26 miles long). Mr. Fowles runs at a steady 4.2 miles per hour. He knows your best time is 3 miles per hour so he gives you a 3 mile lead. When will he catch you? How far behind are you when Mr. Fowles finishes the race? How much longer will it take for you to finish?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is the time rate of change of velocity, it is the ratio of distance to time.

Mr. Fowles runs at a steady 4.2 miles per hour. The time taken to cover 26 miles is:

speed = distance / time

time = distance / speed = 26 / 4.2 = 6.19 hour

I run at 3 miles per hour. I was given 3 mile lead, so the remaining distance is 23 miles (26 - 3). The time needed to complete the 23 miles is:

time = distance / speed = 23 / 3 = 7.67 hour

a) Let d be the distance Mr Fowles catches me. Hence:

time = (d + 3)/4.2; also time = d/3

(d + 3)/4.2 = d/3

3d + 9 = 4.2d

1.2d = 9

d = 7.5 miles

He would catch me at 10.5 (7.5 + 3) miles from the starting point.

b) Mr. fowles finishes after 6.19 hour. At that time, the distance is have covered is:

distance = 6.19 * 3 mi/hr = 18.57 mile

Distance behind = 23 mile - 18.57 = 4.43 mile

c) time longer = 7.67 hour - 6.19 hour = 1.48 hour

Answer:

madision be $12

Jasmine be $24

And, the devanie be $18

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Madison be x

Jasmine be 2x

Devanie be x + 6

And, the total is $54

Now the equation is

x + 2x + x + 6 = $54

4x = $48

x = $12

Answer:

  $11,988

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator gives you the answer easily.

The minimum unit cost is $11,988.

__

The equation for unit cost can be put into vertex form to find the minimum.

  C(x) = 0.7x^2 -210x +27738

  C(x) = 0.7(x^2 -300x +150^2) +27738 -0.7(150^2)

  C(x) = 0.7(x -150)^2 -11,988

This is vertex form:

  C(x) = a(x -h)^2 +k . . . . . . . where (h, k) is the vertex.

The vertex of this cost function is (150, 11,988).

The minimum unit cost occurs when 150 engines are produced. That unit cost is $11,988.

Answer:

the answer is $11,988

Hisako sells dolls at her doll store. If she sells a doll for $35, and there is 6% sales tax, what is the tax amount a customer will pay on one doll?

Answers

Given:

The price of a doll = $35

Sales tax = 6%

To find:

The tax amount that a customer will pay on one doll.

Solution:

The price of doll is $35 and the sales tax is 6%, so the tax amount on a doll is 6% of 35.

[tex]\text{Tax amount}=35\times \dfrac{6}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Tax amount}=\dfrac{210}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Tax amount}=\dfrac{21}{10}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Tax amount}=2.1[/tex]

Therefore, the tax amount that a customer will pay on one doll is $2.1.

The sum of interior angles of a regular polygon is 24 times the size of exterior angle. Find number of sides of the polygon​

Answers

Answer:

n = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of interior angles of a regular polygon is 24 times the size of exterior angle. Find number of sides of the polygon​

let the sum of exterior be e

Let the sum of interior be i

IF the sum of interior angles of a regular polygon is 24 times the size of exterior angle, then;

i = 24e

Also sum of exterior angle = 360/n

i + e = 180

24e + e = 180

25e = 180

e = 180/25

e = 7.2

since  sum of exterior angle = 360/n

7.2 = 360/n

n = 360/7.2

n = 50

The number of sides is 50

9. The volume of a triangular prism is 30 cm. Each triangular face has an area of 4 cm. How long is the prism?

Answers

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

The required length of the triangular prism is given as 15 centimeters.


Given that,
The volume of a triangular prism is 30 cm. Each triangular face has an area of 4 cm, how long the prism is to be determined.

What is volume?

Volume is defined as the mass of the object per unit density while for geometry it is calculated as profile area multiplied by the length at which that profile is extruded.

Here,
The volume of the triangular prism = 1 / 2[area of face] × length
                                               30  = 1/2 [4] × length
                                          length = 15 cm

Thus, the required length of the triangular prism is given as 15 centimeters.
