A special piece of equipment is used at a construction site to dig holes. A hole is dug to a depth of 3.25 feet when the equipment hits rock. The progress slows to 5/8 feet per hour of digging. The depth of the hole must be at least 11 1/2 feet by the end of the day to stay on schedule. What is the minimum amount of time the equipment must continue at its present rate to complete the hole on schedule?

Select from the drop-down menus to correctly complete the statement.
The equipment requires at least 13 or 23 hours and 2/6/12/36 minutes to complete the hole on schedule.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

13 hours and 12 minutes 


Step-by-step explanation:

You put 3.25 as a fraction which is 3 1/4. then I took 3 1/4 and misused it by 11 1/2. 23/2 - 13/4 = 8 1/4 then we took the 5/8 and divided it by 33/4 (3 1/4) I got 13 1/5. 13 1/5 is 13 hours and 12 minutes.

Answer 2

Minimum amount of time taken to complete the hole is 13 hours and 12 minutes.

What is proportion?

In mathematics, proportion is an equation where two ratios are taken to be equal to each other. Suppose if a:b = c:d, then [tex]\frac{a}{b}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{c}{d}[/tex].

In the question, it is given that, a hole is already dug to a depth of 3.25 feet = 3 [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] feet.

Also, the depth of hole at the end of the day must be atleast 11 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] feet.

Remaining depth of the hole needed to dug = 11 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] - 3 [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{23}{2}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{13}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{33}{4}[/tex] feet

Rate of digging is [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] feet per hour.

We have to find how much time will be taken for  [tex]\frac{33}{4}[/tex] feet.

In proportional form, it can be written as  [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] : 1 = [tex]\frac{33}{4}[/tex] : x, where x is the time taken to complete  [tex]\frac{33}{4}[/tex] feet.

⇒  [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] / 1 =  [tex]\frac{33}{4}[/tex] / x

Cross multiplying, we get

 [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] × x = [tex]\frac{33}{4}[/tex] × 1

⇒ x =  [tex]\frac{33}{4}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{8}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{66}{5}[/tex] = 13 [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Hence the minimum amount of time the equipment must continue at the present rate to complete the hole on schedule is 13 hours and 12 minutes.

[tex]a_n=-8+(n-1)-7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

General arithmetic sequence formula: [tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d[/tex]

where [tex]a_1[/tex] = first term, and d = common difference.

The first term is -8

And the common difference appears to be - 7 as 7 is subtracted to get to the next term. Ex. -8 - 7 = -15, -15 - 7 = - 22 and so on.

To get the explicit formula of the sequence we simply plug in the values of a1 and d the general arithmetic sequence formula

General formula: [tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d[/tex]

We have [tex]a_1=-8[/tex] and d = -7

So the formula to find the nth term would be

[tex]a_n=-8+(n-1)-7[/tex]

A population of caribou in a forest grows at a rate of 3% every year. If there are currently 208 caribou, which function represents the number of caribou in the forest in t years?

Answers

Answer:

f(x)=208^0.3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of this as a graph. You start out with 208 caribou, which is your y intercept, as it is there when the growth is 0.

The generic formula fr an exponential equation is a^x.

A represents your initial value. In this case, its 208

x represents the growth. In this case, it's 0.3%.

Your equation should be f(x)=208^0.3x

Sarah wanted to buy a TV. She had $390 in her pocket. The TV she wanted was $415; however she had a 10% off coupon. The sales tax is 6%. Does she have enough money to purchase the TV?

Answers

Answer: Sarah does not have enough money to purchase the TV.

Explanation: The total price is $395.91.

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

10% of 415

= 1/10 of 415

= 1/10 * 415

= $41.5

415 - 41.5 = $ 373.5

6% of 415

= 6% * 415

= $24.9

∴ $373.5 + $24.9 = $398.4

∴ Sarah cannot buy the TV as she is $ 8.4 short.

Part B: What is the total amount that Ron paid for the headphones? Show all work and steps in your solution.

Answers

Answer:

A. $2.00

B. $26.99

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5 x 49.99 = 24.995

49.99 - 24.995 = 24.995

0.08 x 24.995 = 1.9996 and round to the nearest hundredth

24.995 + 1.9996 = 26.9946

round to the nearest hundredth

Answer:

Part a: 1.9996

Part b: 26.9946

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1:

Find the unit rate (1% of 49.99). You should get 0.4999. Then, multiply 0.4999 by 50. You should get 24.995.

STEP 2:

Find the unit rate of 24.995. You should get 0.24995. Then multiply 0.24995 by 8. You should get 1.9996 (answer for part a).

STEP 3:

Add 1.9996 to 24.995. You should get 26.9946 (answer to part b).
