The time taken for the 5 feet of snow to accumulate is 20 hours.

How to calculate the number of hours?

In this case, Smsnow was falling at the rate of 3 inches per hour and if the snow keeps acclimating, we want to know how long will 5 feet of snow to accumulate.

Since 1 foot = 12 inches

5 feet = 5 × 12

Answer:

  (c)  50 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know the area of the rectangle with vertices (-5, 5), (-1, 7), (4, -3), and (0, -5).

Distance formula

The distance formula can be used to find the lengths of the sides. That formula is ...

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

The distance between the first two points is ...

  d = √((-1 -(-5))² +(7 -5)²) = √(4² +2²) = √20

The distance between the next two points is ...

  d = √((4 -(-1))² +(-3 -7)²) = √(5² +(-10)²) = √125

Area

The area is the product of two adjacent side lengths:

  A = LW

  A = (√125)·(√20) = √(125·20) = √2500 = 50 . . . . square units

The area of the rectangle is 50 units².

where the middle-term is just a product of "2 times the square root of the terms on both sides".

so let's start by grouping the terms with a variable, and then adding the last term for the trinomial, keeping in mind the middle-term is just that product.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Slope = 5/2

x1 = -6

y1 = y

x2 = 4

y2 = 8

5/2 = (8-y) / (4 - (-6))

5/2 = (8-y) / (4+6)

5/2 = (8-y) / 10

5 x 10 = 2 x (8-y)

The purpose of post hoc tests following an Analysis of Variance is to address the question of which groups differ from one another. Option A is correct.

Let us understand the post hoc tests:

Post hoc tests are an essential component of ANOVA. When at least three group means are tested for equality using ANOVA, statistically significant findings suggest that not all of the group means are equal. ANOVA results, on the other hand, do not specify which differences between pairs of means are significant. Use post hoc tests to investigate variations between various group averages while keeping the experiment-wise error rate under control.

There are a lot of post hoc tests that you can be used but the main purpose of the post hoc tests is always the same.

Abby and Annie have the same number of coins Abby has sorted her coins into groups of 80 and he has sorted her coins into groups of 75 they each have less than 2000 coins how many coins do they have altogether

Answers

Altogether, Abby and Annie have 2,400 coins, using the Lowest Common Multiple of 75 and 80.

What is the lowest common multiple?

The lowest common multiple (LCM) of two or more numbers is the common multiple shared by the numbers.

LCM of 75 and 80 can be obtained by multiplying common prime factors of 75 and 80, and then raising them to their respective highest power, i.e. 2^4 × 3^1 × 5^2, which gives 1200.

For instance, 1,200 can be divided by both 75 and 80 evenly without a remainder.  And there is no other number less than 2,000 that 75 and 80 can divide evenly without a remainder.

Abby's coins = 1,200

Annie's coins = 1,200

Total coins = 2,400

Abby's 80 coins will have 15 groups (1,200/80)

Annie's 75 coins will have 16 groups (1,200/75)

Thus, using the LCM of 80 and 75, the total number of coins held by Abby and Annie is 2,400.

You started this year with $458 saved and
you continue to save $14 per month.
Write an equation to model this situation
(use m for months and s for savings).

Answers

Answer:

s = 14m + 458

Step-by-step explanation:

current amount = 458

14 per month

s = 14m + 458

The equation has to be put into a Y=mx+b format. Basically warp this equation to fit your needs. Make the Y (y intercept) equal S. m (slope) equal $14. x (x coordinate value) equal months or m. Then the b equal $458.

So essentially it will be S=$14m+$458.

It’s this because S is the total value you’re trying to get (the savings)

$14 is linear meaning it’s the same every time or in this case every month so it goes there since the amount also depends on the amount of months. Which is also why m (months) is being multiplied by $14. $458 goes there because it’s the starting value so it will be accounted for every time you calculate with this equation.

How to carry out unit conversions?

In scientific problems, sometimes, it is necessary to change units from one to another as specifically needed.

The procedure for unit conversion is;

1. Identify the unit you have.

2. Identify the unit you desire or require.

3. Identify appropriate unit conversion factor(s).

4. Cancel units and carry out the math calculations.

5. Evaluate the result.

We are given the speed as 40 miles per hour. Now, the unit of conversion factor from mph to miles per minute is;

1 mile per hour = 1/60 miles per minute

Thus;

40 miles per hour = 40 * 1/60 = 0.67 miles per minute

Answers

Answer:

El otro extremo dista :

12.5 decímetros

Step-by-step explanation:

1 m = 1 metros = 10 decímetros = 10 dm

3.5 metros = 3.5 * 10 = 35 decímetros

125 cm = 125/10 = 12.5 decímetros

(3x + 8)°
(5x – 20)°
(5x + 4y)°
Find the value of each variable.

Answers

Answer:you have 2 lines that cross.

the left angle formed is equal to 3x + 8

the right angle formed is equal to 5x - 20.

the bottom angle formed is equal to 5x + 4y

since the lines are crossed, the opposite angles to each other are equal.

this means that:

3x + 8 = 5x - 20

solve for x to get x = 14 degrees.

the angle on the left side will be equal to 3(14) + 8 = 50 degrees.

the angle on the right side will be equal to 5(14) - 20 = 50 degrees.

this is at it should be since the angles are equal to each other.

since the sum of the 4 angles formed is equal to 360 degrees, the sum of the remaining 2 angles is equal to 260 degrees.

since those 2 angles are equal, then each one must be equal to 130 degrees.

one of those angles is equal to 5x + 4y.

you get 5x + 4y = 130

since x was already found to be 14, replace x with 14 to get:

5(14) + 4y = 130

solve for y to get y = (130 - 5(14)) / 4 which is equal to 15 degrees.

when x = 14 and y = 15, 5x + 4y = 5(14) + 4(15) = 70 + 60 = 130 which confirms the value of 15 for y is good.

your answers are:

x = 14 degrees

y = 15 degrees

2 of the angles measure 50 degrees each.

2 of the angles measure 130 degrees each.

Find an equation of the line containing the given pair of points (3,4) and (9,9)

Answers

Answer:

y = 5x/6 + 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope (m):

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

m=(9-4)/(9-3)

m=5/6

y=mx+b ==> slope-intercept form equation

y = 5x/6 + b==> substitute the value of the slope for m

9 = 5(9)/6 + b ==> substitute a point (x, y) or (9, 9) into the equation

9 = 45/6 + b ==> simplify

(9 = 45/6 + b)*6 ==> multiply the equation by 6 to remove denominators

54 = 45 + 6b ==> simplify

54 - 45 = 45 - 45 + 6b ==> solve for b

9 = 6b

9/6 = 6b/6

b = 3/2

y = 5x/6 + 3/2 ==> plug in b for the slop-intercept equation

[tex]y=3x+12[/tex]

[tex]x=0, \\y=3(0)+12\\y=12[/tex]

As you may notice, we are just substituting the x value for the x variable into the equation and calculating y. Do this with several values and form a table (check attached image 1).

[tex]x=1, \\y=3(1)+12\\y=15[/tex]

[tex]x=2, \\y=3(2)+12\\y=18[/tex]

2. Draw the points.

Using the calculated points, draw them in the cartesian plane. Remember that "x" means how many spaces you move horizontally, and "y" means vertical spaces.

Check attached image 2.

3. Interpret the information.

Let's take point (2, 18) as an example. This point is generated when you substitute the x value of 2, meaning 2 hotdogs and the souvenir hat. Then, the functions gives a result of 18, which would be the cost of those 2 hotdogs in addition to the souvenir hat. Point (0, 12), on the other hand, means that you didn't buy any hotdogs but you still have to pay $12 for the souvenir hat.

The equation y = 1.75x represents what Lamonte would pay in dollars and cents, y, for a bottles of grapefruit juice at store A.

Cost of 17 bottles of grapefruit juice at store B = $36.38

Now, we will find the cost of 17 bottles at store A.

y = 1.75*17

y = $29.75

Now, the difference in their price = 36.38-29.75

Find a b and c ??????

Answers

Answer:

a = 70 degrees

b = 20 degrees

c = 20 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can find "c":

angleBCA = 90

angleBCA = angleBCD + c

90 = 70 + c

90 - 70 = c

20 = c

Knowing "c", we can find "a".

angleADC = 90

triangleADC = 180

triangleADC = angleADC + c + a

180 = 90 + 20 + a

180 = 110 + a

180 - 110 = a

70 = a

Knowing "a", we can find "b".

angle BCA = 90

triangleACB = 180

triangleACB = angleBCA + a + b

180 = 90 + 70 + b

180 = 160 + b

180 - 60 = b

20 = b
