Jim rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of 16.99, and there was an additional charge of 88 cents for each mile. Jim had to pay 149.87 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Total Cost: TC = $126.07

Base fee: B = $16.95

Rate per mile: r = $0.88/mile

Distance (miles) : d -->this is what we need to find

The general formula is:

TC = B + r*d

In this problem:

$126.07 = $16.95 + ($0.88/mile)*d

126.07 - 16.95 = 0.88d    (I dropped the units starting here)

d = (126.07 - 16.95)/0.88 = 124 miles  (notice the parentheses. subtraction has a lower precedence than division.  If you omitted them when using a graphing calculator you would get an incorrect answer)

So the answer is 124 miles.

cesar is making a solution for his chenistry class. he puts 3/4 gram sodium chloride and 1/3 gram potassium chloride on the scale. what is the combined mass of the compounds?

Answers

The combined mass of the compounds is 13/12 grams

How to determine the combined mass of the compounds?

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

3/4 gram sodium chloride and 1/3 gram potassium chloride

The combined mass of the compounds is then calculated as

Combined mass = sodium chloride + potassium chloride

Substitute the known values in the above equation, so, we have the following representation

Combined mass = 3/4 + 1/3

Evaluate the sum

Combined mass = 13/12

Hence, the combines mass is 13/12 grams

What is a mathematical expression?

A mathematical expression is the combination of constants, numbers, mathematical operators, and variables without the equation sign (=).

(20x + 24) ÷ (5x + 6) = 4

2) Road Trip Expressions:

Day one driving distance = x miles

Day two driving distance = 2x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given c:d = 4:3 and d:u = 2:9, you want c:d:u.

Ratio units

To write the desired ratio, we need to convert the others so they have the same number of ratio units representing 'd'. That number can be the least common multiple of 3 and 2, which is 6. Knowing this, we can write ...

  c:d = 4:3 = 8:6

  d:u = 2:9 = 6:27

Then the desired ratio is ...

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the equations equal to each other:

Next, divide -2 from both sides of the equation:

It is the cause that is the independent variable. Its worth is unrelated to other study variables. The effect serves as the dependent variable. The independent variable's modifications determine its value. It is a thing that is dependent on other things. The amount of study you did, how much sleep you had the night before the test, or even how hungry you were when you took it.

Could all affect your test result, which makes it a dependent variable. The dependent variable is impacted by the independent variable. For instance, your exam results are influenced by how much sleep you get (an independent variable) (dependent variable). This is understandable, but Ex.

What is slope ?

In mathematics, a line's slope, also known as its gradient, is a numerical representation of the line's steepness and direction.

A line's steepness can be determined by looking at its slope. Slope is calculated mathematically as "rise over run" (change in y divided by change in x).

The ratio of the increase in elevation between two points to the run in elevation between those same two points is referred to as the slope.

The slope-intercept form of an equation is used whenever the equation of a line is expressed in the form y = mx + b. M represents the line's slope. B is the b in the location where the y-intercept is located (0, b).

Aftab pays £3.10 per concrete slab. (b) How much will it cost Aftab to buy enough concrete slabs to make the patio?​

Answers

To determine how much it will cost Aftab to buy enough concrete slabs to make the patio, you will need to know the size of the patio and how many slabs are needed to cover it. Once you have this information, you can multiply the number of slabs by the cost per slab to find the total cost. For example, if the patio is 10 square meters and requires 20 concrete slabs to cover it, the total cost would be 3.10 * 20 = £62.

A percentage in mathematics is a figure or ratio that is stated as a fraction of 100. The abbreviations "pct.," "pct," and "pc" are also occasionally used. It is frequently denoted using the percent symbol "%," though. The amount of percentages has no dimensions. With a denominator of 100, percentages are basically fractions. To show that a number is a percentage, place a percent symbol (%) next to it. For instance, if you correctly answer 75 out of 100 questions on a test (75/100), you receive a 75%. To compute percentages, divide the amount by the total and multiply the result by 100. The percentage is calculated using the formula (value/total) x 100%.

Dan is training his puppy, Lola, to sit. Dan holds a treat 5 feet above the ground until Lola
sits. As soon as she does, he drops the treat, and Lola catches it in her mouth 1.5 feet above
the ground.
To the nearest tenth of a second, how long does the treat fall before Lola catches it?
Hint: Use the formula h = -16t² + s.

Answers

Answer:

t = 0.5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given formula:

[tex]h=-16t^2+s[/tex]

where:

h = height above the ground (in feet)t = time after dropping the treat (in seconds)

Dan drops the treat 5 feet above the ground.

Therefore, when t = 0, h = 5 ft.  

To find the value of s, substitute these values into the given formula:

[tex]\implies -16(0)^2+s=5[/tex]

[tex]\implies s=5[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]h=-16t^2+5[/tex]

To calculate how long the treat falls before Lola catches it, substitute h = 1.5 into the formula:

[tex]\implies -16t^2+5=1.5[/tex]

[tex]\implies -16t^2=-3.5[/tex]

[tex]\implies t^2=0.21875[/tex]

[tex]\implies t=\sqrt{0.21875}[/tex]

[tex]\implies t=\pm0.467707173...[/tex]

[tex]\implies t=\pm0.5\; \; \sf (nearest\;tenth)[/tex]

As time is positive, t = 0.5 seconds (nearest tenth) only.

Therefore, it took 0.5 seconds for Lola to catch the treat after it fell.
