A road crew can repave 1/56 miles of road each hour. They must repave a road that is 7/8 miles long. How long will it take the crew to repave the road?

Answers

Answer 1
1 hour = 1/56 miles
1/56 miles = 1 hour 
[7/8 = 49/56]
49/56  miles = 1 x 49 hours
49/56  miles = 49 hours
7/8 miles = 49 hours
Answer 2

Answer:  49 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A road crew can repave [tex]\dfrac{1}{56}[/tex] miles of road each hour.

i.e. the rate of of repave = [tex]\dfrac{1}{56}[/tex] miles per hour.

Distance required to cover = [tex]\dfrac{7}{8}[/tex] miles.

The formula used here is :-

[tex]\text{Time}=\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{rate of repave}}[/tex]

i.e. [tex]\text{Time}=\dfrac{\dfrac{7}{8}}{\dfrac{1}{56}}[/tex]

i.e. [tex]\text{Time}=\dfrac{7}{8}\times56=7\times7=49[/tex]

Hence, it will take 49 hours to repave the road.

C) 36π
D) 360π

Answers

The answer would be 360pi. 

Answer:

Therefore ,(D)  360π inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A tire at the top of a hill starts rolling down the hill. If the diameter of the tire is 36 inches.

To find: How many inches has the tire rolled if it has rotated exactly 10 times down the hill.

Solution : We have given that diameter of tire = 36 inches.

 Radius = [tex]\frac{Diameter}{2}[/tex]

  Radius = [tex]\frac{36}{2}[/tex]

 Radius = 18 inches.

Circumference of tire = 2 * π radius

Circumference of tire = 2 *  π 18

                                    = 36π

We need to  rolled the tire 10 times down the hill

then,  10 * 36π = 360π inches.

Therefore ,(D)  360π inches.

140% of a number is 364. Find the number

Answers

140% = 1.4 
1.4(x)=364
364/1.4 = 260
x=260

The number whose 140% is 364 is 260.

What is a percentage?

The percentage is calculated by dividing the required value by the total value and multiplying by 100.

Example:

Required percentage value = a

total value = b

Percentage = a/b x 100

Example:

50% = 50/100 = 1/2

25% = 25/100 = 1/4

20% = 20/100 = 1/5

10% = 10/100 = 1/10

We have,

Number = M

140% of M = 364.

140/100 x M = 364

Solve for M.

M = 364 x 100 / 140

M = 260

Thus,

140% of 260 is 509.6.

Given a collection of paired sample data, the ____________ algebraically describes the relationship between the two variables, x and y.

Answers

data may be the answer 

Final answer:

The linear equation describes the algebraic relationship between two variables in a paired sample data set, with the slope and y-intercept being key components of this equation.

Explanation:

Given a collection of paired sample data, the linear equation algebraically describes the relationship between the two variables, x and y. The most fundamental representation of a linear association is through a linear equation, which graphically manifests as a straight line in a scatter plot. Two commonly used forms of linear equations are y = mx + b and y = a + bx. The latter is frequently used in statistical contexts to differentiate from the algebraic context.


In these equations, m or b (when used as a coefficient) is known as the slope, indicating the rate of change or how much y changes as x changes. The y-intercept represented by a is the point at which the line crosses the y-axis, typically where x equals zero. A linear relationship between two variables is confirmed when a scatter plot of the pair shows points that approximate a straight line.

You have five identical pieces of equipment. There is a 1 in 10 chance that each piece will fail in a year. What is the likelihood that NONE of the pieces fail during a year?

Answers

Assuming failures are independent (not due to design flaw), the probability of no failures is
.. (1 -0.1)^5 = 0.59049

The probability that none of the five identical pieces of equipment will fail during a year is approximately 59.049%, calculated using the statistical independence of each piece's probability of not failing, which is 0.9, raised to the power of 5.

The question is asking for the probability that none of the five pieces of equipment fails within a year when there is a 1 in 10 chance of failure for each piece of equipment. To calculate this, we use the principle of statistical independence. If the chance that one piece of equipment does not fail is 9 in 10 (or 0.9), then the probability that all five do not fail is 0.9 raised to the power of 5.

Mathematically, this is calculated as:

[tex](0.9)^5[/tex]= 0.9 * 0.9 * 0.9 * 0.9 * 0.9

Performing the multiplication, the probability that none of the five pieces fail during a year is approximately 0.59049.

In conclusion, there is a 59.049% chance that none of the identical pieces of equipment will fail during a year, assuming that the failures are statistically independent events.

Answers

No, they are both measuring a different degree range, I hope this helps

Answer:

The two triangles are similar by AAA

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If the two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and its corresponding angles are congruent

Remember that

The sum of the internal angles of a triangle must be equal to [tex]180\°[/tex]

so

In the triangle CDE

Find the measure of angle E

[tex]m<C+m<D+m<E=180\°[/tex]

substitute the values and solve for m<E

[tex]60\°+53\°+m<E=180\°[/tex]

[tex]m<E=180\°-(60\°+53\°)=67\°[/tex]

The measures of internal angles triangle CDE are [tex]60\°-53\°-67\°[/tex]

In the triangle FGH

Find the measure of angle G

[tex]m<F+m<G+m<H=180\°[/tex]

substitute the values and solve for m<G

[tex]60\°+m<G+67\°=180\°[/tex]

[tex]m<G=180\°-(60\°+67\°)=53\°[/tex]

The measures of internal angles triangle FGH are [tex]60\°-53\°-67\°[/tex]

therefore

The two triangles are similar by AAA

Which graph represents the function?

Answers

The resulting graph of the rational function is the Graph at the top right graph 2.

To depict the rational function f(x) =  2/(x - 1) + 3, we must consider its characteristics. The function has a vertical asymptote at x = 1 because the function is undefined at that point, and it has a horizontal asymptote at y = 3 due to the behavior of the function as x approaches infinity. The graph will approach these asymptotes but never cross them.

For values of x greater than 1, the function will decrease towards the horizontal asymptote because the (x - 1) in the denominator increases, which causes the value of f(x) to decrease.

However, because of the '+3' term in the function, the curve will approach y = 3 as x goes to infinity.

To graph this function, plot several points where x is not equal to 1, then draw the curve that passes through these points while approaching the respective asymptotes.

The portions of the graph should fall above the horizontal line y = 3 for x < 1 and approach y = 3 from below for x > 1.

Therefore, the resulting graph of the rational function is the Graph at the top right graph 2.

The area of the rectangle is 154m^2
What is the width of the rectangle?

Answers

Sometimes when you're given dimensions that differ by some amount, it is easier to work with their average value. Let x represent the average of length and width of the rectangle. The length and width differ from this average value by 1.5 m. Then the area is
.. (x +1.5)*(x -1.5) = 154
.. x^2 -2.25 = 154
.. x^2 = 156.25
.. x = 12.5
The width is 1.5 m shorter than this, or 11 m.

_____
Solved in the conventional way, you are looking for factors of 154 that differ by 3. This means you have to find the factors of 154, or use the quadratic formula.
.. 154 = 1*154 = 2*77 = 7*22 = 11*14 (the pair we want)
Once you have the factorization of 154, you have the answer. No equations are necessary, really.

The cost of attendance at State College is $19,500 for the first year. Devise a periodic savings plan that will allow you to make small deposits for 5 years at a simple interest rate of 1.5% and save enough to pay for the first year at the college. 15 points!@!!

Answers

We are told to use simple interest rate. Formula for this is:
[tex]A=P*(1+r*t)[/tex]

Where:
A= total accumulated amount (principal + interest)
P= principal
r= yearly percentage rate
t= number of years

We need to save $19500 for the first year at a college. This is the amount we will have at the account after five years. In our case this is A.
Principal is the amount we need to put into savings to get the total amount needed. In our case this is P.
Yearly percentage rate is the percentage by which our savings increase at the end of a year. In our case this is r.
t is number of years that we are holding our money on the bank account.

To solve this problem we will assume that we are putting same amount each month on the bank account.

We are given:
A=$19500
P=?
r=1.5%
t=5 years

First step is to transform r into decimal number:
[tex]r= \frac{1.5}{100} =0.015[/tex]

Now we get back to our formula and we solve it for P:
[tex]A=P*(1+r*t) \\ P= \frac{A}{1+r*t} [/tex]
We insert numbers and we get our principal:
[tex]P= \frac{19500}{1+0.015*5} \\ P=18139.53[/tex]

We need to put $18139.53 into savings to get required amount after 5 years or 5*12=60months. Assuming that we put same amount each month into savings we need to put
[tex]18139.53 / 60 = 302.33[/tex]

This is our solution for this problem. This is closest to the amount we would need to put in real life. In real life we would earn interest onto interest and our monthly amount would be smaller.
