A car is traveling at a rate of 48 miles per hour. If the car continues to travel at this same rate, how many hours will it take the car to travel 612 miles?

Answers

Answer:

12.75

Step-by-step explanation:

If you make a proportion: 48/1=612/x

1(612)= 612

612/48

12.75 hours

At a speed of 48 miles per hour, the car will take approximately 12.75 hours to go 612 miles.

What is the distance?

A mathematical number known as distance measures "how much ground an object has traveled" while moving. Distance is defined as the product of speed and time.

A car is traveling at a rate of 48 miles per hour.

To determine the number of hours it will take the car to travel 612 miles at a rate of 48 miles per hour, you can divide the distance traveled by the rate at which the car is traveling:

⇒ distance ÷ rate

⇒ 612 miles / 48 miles/hour

Apply the division operation, and we get

⇒ 12.75 hours

Therefore, it will take the car about 12.75 hours to travel 612 miles at a rate of 48 miles per hour.

If you have five red balls and five blue balls in a jar what’s the probability of the first ball being red?

Answers

Answer:

red balls = 5

blue balls = 5

total balls = 5 blue+5 red

= 10

[tex]p(first \: ball \: being \: red) = \frac{red \: balls}{total \: balls} [/tex]

[tex]p(first \: ball \: being \: red) = \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2} [/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of red balls = 5

Total number of blue balls = 5

Total number of balls in jar = 5 + 5

                                             = 10

Probability of the first ball being red = total number of the red ball/total number of balls in the jar

                                                             = [tex]\frac{5}{10}[/tex]

                                                             = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Therefore, the probability of the first ball being red = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex], 50% or 0.5 (in any way you are instructed to write it in)

The price of admission to the Everglades Historical Museum is $11 more for non-members than for members of the museum’s Friends of the Museum program.

If a group of 3 members and 4 non-members pays a total of $79 to visit the Museum, what is the cost, in dollars, of the ticket for one non-member?

Select one:
A. $9.00
B. $11.00
C. $15.00
D. $16.00

Answers

Answer:

d. $16.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 members (m) + 4 nonmembers (n) = $79

nonmembers = $11 more or n=m+11 so...

3m + 4(m+11)=79   [replace "n" with "m+11"]

3m + 4m + 44=79

7m + 44 = 79

7m=35 and reduced m=5 so members pay $5 and nonmembers pay 5+11=$16

y = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 6y =18

-2x + 4y = -6

you can add the equations together as is and eliminate x

y = -6

then plug back in,

2x - 6(-6) = 18

2x + 36 = 18

2x = -18

Answer:

[tex]10!\:\times \:20!=\:8.82851\:\times\:10^{24}[/tex]

[tex]17!\:\times \:9!\:=\:1.29072\:\times \:10^{20}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

Given the expression

[tex]10!\times \:20![/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{Apply\:factorial\:rule}:\quad \:n!=1\times 2\times 3\times \ldots \times \:n[/tex]

[tex]10!=1\times \:2\times \:3\times \:4\times \:5\times \:6\times \:7\times \:8\times \:9\times \:10[/tex]

[tex]20!=1\times \:2\times \:3\times \:4\times \:5\times \:6\times \:7\times \:8\times \:9\times \:10\times \:11\times \:12\times \:13\times \:14\times \:15\times \:16\times \:17\times \:18\times \:19\times \:20[/tex]

Now, multiplying the result

[tex]10!\times \:20!= 1\times \:2\times \:3\times \:4\times \:5\times \:6\times \:7\times \:8\times \:9\times \:10\times \:1\times \:2\times \:3\times \:4\times \:5\times \:6\times \:7\times \:8\times \:9\times \:10\times \:11\times \:12\times \:13\times \:14\times \:15\times \:16\times \:17\times \:18\times \:19\times \:20[/tex]

so

[tex]10!\:\times \:20!=\:8.82851\:\times\:10^{24}[/tex]

Thus, we conclude that:

[tex]10!\:\times \:20!=\:8.82851\:\times\:10^{24}[/tex]

2)

Given the expression

[tex]17!\:\times \:9![/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{Apply\:factorial\:rule}:\quad \:n!=1\times 2\times 3\times \ldots \times \:n[/tex]

[tex]17!=1\times \:2\times \:3\times \:4\times \:5\times \:6\times \:7\times \:8\times \:9\times \:10\times \:11\times \:12\times \:13\times \:14\times \:15\times \:16\times \:17[/tex]

[tex]9!=1\times \:2\times \:3\times \:4\times \:5\times \:6\times \:7\times \:8\times \:9[/tex]

Now, multiplying the result

[tex]17!\:\times \:9!=1\times \:2\times \:3\times \:4\times \:5\times \:6\times \:7\times \:8\times \:9\times \:10\times \:11\times \:12\times \:13\times \:14\times \:15\times \:16\times \:17\times \:1\times \:2\times \:3\times \:4\times \:5\times \:6\times \:7\times \:8\times \:9[/tex]

so

[tex]17!\:\times \:9!\:=\:1.29072\:\times \:10^{20}[/tex]

Thus, we conclude that:

[tex]17!\:\times \:9!\:=\:1.29072\:\times \:10^{20}[/tex]

A. Multiply the area of the original store by the percent increase then add that to the original amount.

1200 x 0.75 = 900

1200 + 900 = 2100

Answer: 2,100 square feet.

B. 2000 x 0.30 = 600

2000 + 600 = $2,600

2600 x 0.05 = 130

2600 + 130 = 2,730

What is Fraction?

A fraction represents a part of a whole.

Given,

Half a bottle of lemonade is shared between 3 friends .

Half means 1/2.

One divided by two is half.

This half is shared between three friends.

So we need to divide half by three of friends.

1/2/(3/1)

When a fraction is divided by another fraction, the denominator is multiplied as reciprocal to numerator.

1/2×1/3

1/6

What is the sum of the conjugates of the complex numbers? Show all work.

Answers

Conjugate is just changing the sign on the imaginary number, so the conjugates here are 3+6i and 9-i

The sum of the original complex numbers is (3-6i)+(9+i)=12-5i

The sum of the conjugates is (3+6i)+(9-i)=12+5i

Find 6% tax of $12.50 *Your answer What are all equivalent expressions to 4w+7w Item 8Read the passage.The Sandia MountainsSurrounding New Mexicos largest city are some of the most majestic and awe-inspiring mountains in the Southwest. The Sandia Mountain range stretches only 17 miles. Its highest point, Sandia Crest, is just over 10,000 feet high. This point is two miles above sea level but only one mile above the city of Albuquerque.The word sandia means watermelon in Spanish. The range received its name because of the deep reds, maroons, and pinks that make up its granite and limestone faces. These colors are especially striking at sunset. The westward face of the range is characterized by its rugged, sheer cliffs and large, rocky outgrowths. The eastward face slopes gradually and is covered in the green of pine and juniper trees.The Sandia Mountains have many different attractions that draw tourists each year. One of these is the Sandia Man cave, first discovered and excavated in the 1930s. During its excavation, human tools and clothing were found, as well as the remains of a prehistoric mastodon. Evidence at the cave site dates human usage between nine and eleven thousand years ago, making this one of the oldest human habitats in North America.Another attraction is the Sandia Peak Tramway. This tram system has two tram cars that run every 15 to 30 minutes. One car ascends the mountain, taking passengers to the top where they disembark. The other descends the mountain, bringing them back down. First opened in 1966, the cars hold a maximum of 55 passengers. During construction of the tram, thousands of helicopter flights lifted cables, workers, and materials to build the two towers to the mountaintop.The total length of the tram system extends nearly three miles. The span that extends from the second tower to the peak is the third longest clear span in the world. A clear span is a "length of cable between supporting towers." The cars travel at a speed of 12 miles per hour and provide passengers with an unimpeded view of the city of Albuquerque, the Rio Grande, and even three extinct volcanoes.Tram passengers are also able to see a wide variety of birds and animals native to the mountains ecosystem. As a passenger on the Sandia Peak Tramway, you might see golden eagles, Stellers jays, ravens, and canyon wrens. You may also glimpse a few land animals like mule deer, black bears, and bobcats.What is the authors purpose in writing the second paragraph of The Sandia Mountains?to convince the reader that the Sandia Mountains are specialto give the reader basic statistics about the Sandia Mountainsto describe for the reader what the Sandia Mountains look liketo persuade the reader to visit the Sandia Mountains
