A librarian sorts 500 books at a constant rate. After 6 days, the librarian still has 200 books to sort. How much time does it take to sort the books from start to finish?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 10 days

Step-by-step explanation: So if the librarian sorted at a constant rate, then they sorted the same amount of books all 6 days. If they still have 200 books left to sort, then they sorted 300 books over 6 days. This means that they sorted 50 books per day. 200 divided by 50 is 4. So it will take 4 more days to finish sorting all the books. So altogether, it will take 10 days to sort all of the books.

Answer 2

The total number of required days is 10.

What is Unitary method ?

In order to solve a problem for two different values of a quantity, its unit value is first derived. This method is known as unitary method.

The total number of books is 500.

The books left after 6 days is 200.

The number books read per day is given as,

(500 - 200)/6

= 300/6

= 50

Now, number of days the remaining number of books to be read is,

200/50 = 4

Thus, the total number of days is 6 + 4 = 10.

Hence, it will take 10 days from the start to finish all the books.

Three friends each have some ribbon. Carol has 90 inches of ribbon, Tino has 7.5 feet of ribbon, and Baxter has 3.5 yards of ribbon. Express the total length of ribbon the three friends have in inches, feet, and yards.

Answers

Answer: 306 inches or 25.5 feet or 8.5 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Carol has 90 inches of ribbon, Tino has 7.5 feet of ribbon, and Baxter has 3.5 yards of ribbon.

1 feet = 12 inches

length of ribbon Tino has = 12 x 7.5 = 90 inches

1 yard = 36 inches

length of ribbon Baxter has = 3.5 x 36 = 126 inches

Total ribbon they have = (length of ribbon Carol has) + (length of ribbon Tino has) + (length of ribbon Baxter has)

= (90+90+126) inches

= 306 inches

In feet , Total ribbon = [tex]\dfrac{306}{12}\text{ feet}[/tex]   [tex][\text{ 1 inch}=\dfrac{1}{12}\text{ feet}][/tex]

[tex]=\text{25.5 feet}[/tex]

In yards, Total ribbon =[tex]\dfrac{25.5}{3}\text{ yards}[/tex]    [tex][\text{1 feet}=\dfrac{1}{3}\text{ yard}][/tex]

[tex]=\text{ 8.5 yards}[/tex]

Hence, the total length of ribbon the three friends have is 306 inches or 25.5 feet or 8.5 yards.

Answers

Answer:

The 8-pack is better value

Step-by-step explanation:

$7.50/6 = $1.25 per ball

$9.60/8 = $1.20 per ball

The 8-pack is a better value if the toy store, Colton can buy a package of 6 mini footballs for $7.50, or a package of 8 mini footballs for $9.60.

What is a fraction?

Fraction number consists of two parts, one is the top of the fraction number which is called the numerator and the second is the bottom of the fraction number which is called the denominator.

It is given that:

At a toy store, Colton can buy a package of 6 mini footballs for $7.50, or a package of 8 mini footballs for $9.60.

For:

At a toy store, Colton can buy a package of 6 mini footballs for $7.50

Each ball price

$7.50/6 = $1.25 per ball

Each ball price

$9.60/8 = $1.20 per ball

The 8-pack is a better value

below, wiere x represents the number of years after 1986, and y represents the number of bald eagle breeding pairs. Interpret the y-

intercept

y = 1.772 +334x

Answer:

B. There were approximately 1.772 eagle breeding pairs in 1986

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the regression equation : y = 1.772 +334x

Recall the general form of a linear regression equation :

y = mx + c

y = predicted variable ; x = predictor Variable ; c = intercept ; m = slope

x = number of years after 1986 ; y = number of bald eagle pairs.

The intercept is a constant value at time t = 0

For x to be 0, on a graph, this this the value on the y axis where the regression line crosses the y - axis. That is in 1986; the number of y when in 1986 when x = 0 is 1.772

Find the present value of an annuity due that pays $4000 at the beginning of each quarter for the next 7 years. Assume that money is worth 6.2%, compounded quarterly. If $90,000 is invested in an annuity that earns 5.4%, compounded quarterly, what payments will it provide at the end of each quarter for the next 7 1/2 years?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the first question:

We are to find PV of the annuity.

Using the formula:

Present value of Annuity  = Annuity Amount × Present Value Annuity Factor i.e. PVAF (n , r)

Where , Annuity Amount = $4,000            

n = No. of periods = 7 years × 4 quarters per year = 28 periods but since the first payment is at beginning of the quarter, Then, n = 27 when considered for PVAF

r  = 6.2% / 4 quarters = 1.55%,

PVAF(n0,r) when first payment is at beginning of n i.e. n0 = 1 + { [1-(1+r)^ -n0 ]/r }

= 1 + { [1-(1+0.0155)^ {-27}]/0.0155 }

= 1 + [ (1 - 0.66015 ) ] / 0.0155]

= 1 + 21.926

= 22.926

PVAF(28,1.55%) = 22.926

Thus , Present Value of Annuity = $4,000 × 22.926  = $91704.00

2. Present value of Annuity due = Annuity Amount × Present Value Annuity Factor i.e. PVAF (n , r)

Present Value of Annuity  = $90,000

n = No. of periods = 7.5 years × 4 quarters per year = 30 periods

r  = 5.4% / 4 quarters = 1.35%,

PVAF(n,r) = [1-(1+r)^-n]/r

PVAF(n,r) = [1-(1+0.0135)^ -30]/0.0135

PVAF(30,1.35%) = (1 - 0.6688)/0.0135

PVAF(30,1.35%) = 0.3312/0.0135

PVAF(30,1.35%) = 24.53

Hence ;

$90,000 = Annuity Amount × 24.53

Annuity amount = $90,000/24.53 = $3,668.48

with respect to x gives

[tex]3x^{1/2} + \dfrac32 y^{1/2} \dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = 0[/tex]

Solve for dy/dx :

[tex]\dfrac32 y^{1/2} \dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = -3x^{1/2} \\\\ \dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = \dfrac{-3x^{1/2}}{\frac32y^{1/2}} = \dfrac{-2x^{1/2}}{y^{1/2}} = -2\sqrt{\dfrac xy}[/tex]

Then the slope of the tangent line to the curve at (1, 9) is

[tex]\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = -2\sqrt{\dfrac19} = -\dfrac23[/tex]

The equation of the tangent line would then be

y - 9 = -2/3 (x - 1)   ==>   y = -2/3 x + 29/3

(4) The slope of the tangent line to

[tex]y=\dfrac{ax+1}{x-2}[/tex]

at a point (x, y) on the curve is

[tex]\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = \dfrac{a(x-2)-(ax+1)}{(x-2)^2} = -\dfrac{2a+1}{(x-2)^2}[/tex]

When x = -1, we have a slope of 2/3, so

-(2a + 1)/(-1 - 2)² = 2/3

Solve for a :

-(2a + 1)/9 = 2/3

2a + 1 = -18/3 = -6

2a = -7

a = -7/2

The number of zeros attached depends on the number with the maximum digits after the decimal point. The digits of each numbers are lined up so that each column contains digits in the same place. Addition is carried out the normal way by starting from the right to the left. The decimal point is then placed in the place as the numbers above it.

An auto mechanic earns $498.75 in 35 hours during the week. His pay is 2.50 more per hour on the weekends. If he works 6 hours on the weekend in addition to 35 hours during the week,hiw much does he earn

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to calculate the unitary pay per hour:

Unitary pay= 498.75/35

Unitary pay= $14.25

Now, we can determine the total earn of 35 regular hours and 6 weekend hours:

Total pay= 498.75 + (14.25 + 2.5)*6

Total pay= 498.75 + 100.5

The entrance for the amusement park is $40, visitors purchase additional $2
tickets for rides, games and food. How many tickets can you buy if you
brought $100 to spend at the park?

Answers

Answer:

2 tickets because round

Step-by-step explanation:

make an equation: 100=40x+2 and solve

2.45 tickets so only two

40+40 =80

100-80=20

but 100-2=98 so there is only 18$ left so not enough for another ticket

Answer:

30 Tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, it said that $40 is the entrance fee. Then, it said that visitors purchase additional tickets for rides, games, and food. This means that EACH ticket is 2 dollars.

Hence, $40 (entrance fee) + $2 (each ticket price) x (the number of tickets spent) = 100 (total amount of money).

So, the equation should be 40 + 2x = 100, which means x = 30.

100 - 40 = 60

60/2 = 30

30 tickets can be purchased
