Your running a fuel economy study. You find a blue car. It travels 44 1/2 miles on 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline another car is red it can travel 20 4/5 miles on 4/5 gallons of gasoline what is the unit rate for miles per gallon for each car? Which car could travel the greatest distance on one gallon of gasoline

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

Blue car travels [tex]44\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] miles on [tex]1\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex] gallons of gasoline.

Red car travels [tex]20\dfrac{4}{5}[/tex] miles on [tex]\dfrac{4}{5}[/tex] gallons of gasoline.

To find:

The unit rate for miles per gallon for each car and find which car could travel the greatest distance on one gallon of gasoline.

Solution:

We know that,

[tex]\text{Unit rate}=\dfrac{\text{Total distance covered by the car}}{\text{Number of gallons of gasoline}}[/tex]

Using this formula, the unit rate of blue car is

[tex]\text{Unit rate of blue car}=\dfrac{44\dfrac{1}{2}}{1\dfrac{1}{4}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Unit rate of blue car}=\dfrac{\dfrac{88+1}{2}}{\dfrac{4+1}{4}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Unit rate of blue car}=\dfrac{89}{2}\times \dfrac{4}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Unit rate of blue car}=\dfrac{178}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Unit rate of blue car}=35.6[/tex]

Unit rate of red car is

[tex]\text{Unit rate of red car}=\dfrac{20\dfrac{4}{5}}{\dfrac{4}{5}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Unit rate of red car}=\dfrac{\dfrac{100+4}{5}}{\dfrac{4}{5}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Unit rate of red car}=\dfrac{104}{5}\times \dfrac{5}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Unit rate of red car}=26[/tex]

Therefore, the unit rate of blue car is 35.6 miles per gallon of gasoline and  unit rate of red car is 26 miles per gallon of gasoline.

Since, unit rate of blue car is greater than the red car, therefore blue car travel the greatest distance on one gallon of gasoline.

Mrs. Pregnals's biology classes are going on a field trip. She has them break into groups of three or four
students in order to do labs. She has a total of 120 students and 32 total groups are formed.
If i represents the number of three person groups and represents the number of four person groups, then
write a system of equations that models this situation.

Answers

Answer:

x + y = 32 (1)

3x + 4y = 120 (2)

x = 8; y = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Total students = 120

Number of groups = 32

If the number of three person groups = x

Number of four person groups = y

write a system of equations that models this situation

x + y = 32 (1)

3x + 4y = 120 (2)

From (1)

x = 32 - y

Substitute x = 32 - y into (2)

3(32 - y) + 4y = 120

96 - 3y + 4y = 120

- 3y + 4y = 120 - 96

y = 24

Substitute y = 24 into (1)

x + y = 32

x + 24 = 32

x = 32 - 24

x = 8

x = 8; y = 24

Which statement describes the rate of change of the following function?
f(x) = -5x - 7

A.
The function has a varying rate of change when x < 7.
B.
The function has a varying rate of change when x < 5.
C.
The function has a constant rate of change, decreasing for all x at a rate of 7.
D.
The function has a constant rate of change, decreasing for all x at a rate of 5.

Answers

Given:

The function is

[tex]f(x)=-5x-7[/tex]

To find:

The rate of change of the given function.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]f(x)=-5x-7[/tex]        ...(i)

It is a linear function because the degree or power of x in this function is 1.

Slope of a linear function is always constant.

The slope intercept form of a linear function is

[tex]f(x)=mx+b[/tex]      ...(ii)

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

[tex]m=-5[/tex]

It means, the function has a constant rate of change, decreasing for all x at a rate of 5.

Therefore, the correct option is D.

For the first question virtually you could just go through each one and determine how they would fit. But what I did for both is determine the change in the first column (5 in #2 3 in #3) Then subtract the second change from the first in the second column (185-138.75 and 132-99) you come up with a rate of change like (46.25 and 33) then using that number dividing by the change from the first column (46.25/5=9.25 and 33/3=11) And to check applying all of that to the other changes.

In △ABC, AB = 13.2m, BC = 6.9m and ∠ACB = 90°. H lies on AC such that ∠BHC = 46°. Find (i) ∠ABH (ii) The length of AH

Answers

Answer:

(i) ∠ABH = 14.46⁰

(ii) The length of AH = 4.6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image uploaded;

Consider △ABC;

the length of b is calculated by applying Pythagoras theorem as follows;

b² = c² - a²

b² = (13.2)² - (6.9)²

b² = 126.63

b = √126.63

b = 11.25 m

Also, ∠ABC is calculated as;

[tex]Cos \ B = \frac{a^2+c^2-b^2}{2ac} \\\\Cos \ B = \frac{(6.9)^2+(13.2)^2-(11.25)^2}{2(6.9 \times13.2)}\\\\ Cos \ B = \frac{95.288}{182.16} \\\\ Cos \ B = 0.5219 \\\\B = Cos ^{-1} (0.5231)\\\\B = 58.46 ^o[/tex]

Consider △CBH, ∠CBH is calculated as;

∠CBH = 90⁰ - 46⁰ = 44⁰

(i) ∠ABH will be calculated as;

∠ABH = θ

θ + 44⁰ = ∠ABC

θ + 44⁰ = 58.46⁰

θ = 58.46⁰  - 44⁰

θ = 14.46⁰

Thus, ∠ABH = 14.46⁰

(ii) The length of AH

length HC is calculated as;

[tex]tan \ 46^o =\frac{6.9}{HC} \\\\HC = \frac{6.9}{tan \ 46^o } \\\\HC = 6.66 \ m[/tex]

length of AH = CA - HC

x = b - HC

x = 11.25 - 6.66

x = 4.6 m

length of AH = 4.6 m

Suppose that scores on a particular test are normally distributed with a mean of 140 and a standard deviation of 18. What is the minimum score needed to be in the top 5% of the scores on the test? Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places, and round your answer to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer:

153.16

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score = ???

μ is the population mean = 140

σ is the population standard deviation = 8

Top 5% means the score is in the 95th percentile

The z score of 95th percentile = 1.645

1.645 = x - 140/8

Cross Multiply

1.645 × 8 = x - 140

13.16 = x - 140

x = 13.16 + 140

x = 153.16

Therefore, the minimum score needed to be in the top 5% of the scores on the test is 153.16

We have to prove that,

[tex]\frac{1}{1+a+b^{-1}}+\frac{1}{1+b+c^{-1}}+\frac{1}{1+c+a^{-1}}=1[/tex]

We take left hand side of the given equation and solve it,

[tex]\frac{1}{1+a+\frac{1}{b}}+\frac{1}{1+b+\frac{1}{c}}+\frac{1}{1+c+\frac{1}{a}}[/tex]

Since, abc = 1,

[tex]\frac{1}{c}=ab[/tex] and c = [tex]\frac{1}{ab}[/tex]

By substituting these values in the expression,

[tex]\frac{1}{1+a+\frac{1}{b}}+\frac{1}{1+b+\frac{1}{c}}+\frac{1}{1+c+\frac{1}{a}}=\frac{1}{1+a+\frac{1}{b}}+\frac{1}{1+b+ab}+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{ab}+\frac{1}{a}}[/tex]

                                       [tex]=\frac{b}{b+ab+1}+\frac{1}{1+b+ab}+\frac{ab}{ab+1+b}[/tex]

                                       [tex]=\frac{1+b+ab}{1+b+ab}[/tex]

                                       [tex]=1[/tex]

Which equal to the right hand side of the equation.

Hence, [tex]\frac{1}{1+a+b^{-1}}+\frac{1}{1+b+c^{-1}}+\frac{1}{1+c+a^{-1}}=1[/tex]

If an object on earth weighs 42 lbs, what is its weight on the moon?

Answers

Answer:

6.93 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight on the moon is approximately 16.5% of what you would weigh on Earth. Using this information, we can say that 16.5% of 42 lbs would equal how much the object would weigh on the moon.

I prefer to convert percentages the decimal way, so let's do it that way. 16.5% is 0.165 as a decimal, so now all we have to do is multiply 0.165 by 42 (since we are saying 16.5% of 42 lbs), and we get 6.93 lbs.

Mrs. Arnold took a survey of the types of pants her students were wearing. She collected the data below. What percent of her students were wearing shorts? Jeans: 14 Shorts: 9 Capris: 2

Answers

Answer:

36%

Step-by-step explanation:

Jeans: 14

Shorts: 9

Capris: 2

Total number of students = Number of Jeans + Number of Shorts + Number of Capris

Total number of students = 14 + 9 + 2 = 25

% of students wearing shorts = Number of shorts / Total number of students * 100

% of students wearing shorts = 9 / 25    * 100 = 0.36  * 100 = 36%
