A deep sea diver started at sea level (0 feet) and dove at a rate of 5.6 feet per minute. If the diver dove for ½ hour, what rational number represents his position relative to sea level? Show your work. A. 168 feet B. 2.8 feet C. -2.8 feet D. -168 feet

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

A deep sea diver started at sea level (0 feet).

Rate of diving = 5.6 feet per minute.

Time = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] hour

To find:

The rational number that represents his position relative to sea level.

Solution:

We know that,

1 hour = 60 minutes

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] hour = 30 minutes

A deep sea diver, dove at a rate of 5.6 feet per minute.

Distance covered in 1 minute = 5.6 feet

Distance covered in 30 minute = 30 × 5.6 feet

                                                    = 168 feet

The diver dove 168 feet in [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] hour. Since it is below the sea level, therefore it should be negative.

So, the rational number that represents his position relative to sea level is [tex]-168[/tex] feet.

Therefore, the correct option is D.

The probability that comic book reader in a particular city prefers comics published by company A is 25%. The probability that comic book reader in the city's is male 70%

Answers

Complete question is;

The probability that a comic book reader in a particular city prefers comics published by Company A is 25%. The probability that a comic book reader in the city is male is 70%. If the probability of a comic book reader in the city being a male, given that the reader prefers Company A's comics, is 40%, what is the probability of the reader preferring Company A's comics, given that the reader is a male?

Answer:

0.14 or 14%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the probability that the comic book readers prefers comics published by company A is 25%.

Thus; P(A) = 25% = 0.25

Also, we are told that the probability that comic book reader is male 70%.

Thus; P(M_r) = 70% = 0.7

We are also told that the probability of a comic book reader being a male, provided that the reader prefers Company A's comics, is 40%.

Thus; P(A|M_r) = 40% = 0.4

To find the probability of the reader preferring Company A's comics, provided that the reader is a male, we will apply baye's theorem.

Thus;

P(M_r|A) = [P(A|M_r) × P(A)]/P(M)

P(M_r|A) = (0.4 × 0.25)/0.7

P(M_r|A) ≈ 0.14

Answers

An area that is 20 feet wide and 25 feet long will be 20*25 = 500 square feet large. Division tells us how many times one number is contained within a number, so to find how many 2.5 square feet large people fit in a 500 square feet large space, we do 500/2.5 = 200 people.

Answers

Answer:

y = 2x - 22

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x + 1

Parallel slope: 2

(7, -8)

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 8 = 2(x - 7)

y + 8 = 2x - 14

y = 2x - 22

Answer:

Solution given:

equation of line 1 is:

y=2x+1

2x-y+1=0.......[1]

slope of line 1 is

m1=[tex] \frac{ -coefficient \:of\: x }{coefficient\: of \:y} [/tex]

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

Since the lines are parallel than slope of another line m2=m1=2

It passes through (x1,y1)=(7,-8)

equation of a line is:

(y-y1)=m2(x-x1)(y+8)=2(x-7)y+8=2x-142x-y=8+142x-y=22[tex] \frac{2x}{22} - \frac{y}{22} = 1[/tex][tex] \frac{x}{11} - \frac{y}{22} = 1[/tex]

is a required equation of a line in slope intercept form.

arc RS = 116°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the 2 chords are congruent then their minor arcs are congruent, that is

SR = TU, substitute values

6x - 28 = 4x + 20 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

2x - 28 = 20 ( add 28 to both sides )

2x = 48 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 24

Then

arc RS = 6x - 28 = 6(24) - 28 = 144 - 28 = 116°

Answer:

16/1,000

Understanding place values:

The first 0 before the decimal point in 0.016 represents ones, the 0 after the decimal point represents tenths, the 1 represents hundredths and the 6 represents thousandths. We use 1,000 in our fraction because of the place value.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Convert 0.016 into a fraction:

   0.016 = 16/1,000

2. Simpilfy the fraction 16/1,000:

   16/1,000 ÷ 8 = 2/125

2/125 is equivalent to 0.016

What is the total surface area??Please help me I’m so confused i have a test tomorrow

Answers

214 is the correct answer

Answer:

216 :)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are five sides in total. To find the total surface area we have to find the area of each side.

Let's start off easy with the rectangle at the base. The width and length are 7 and 6, which gives us an area of 42.

The rectangle with dimensions of 8 as the length and 7 as the width gives us an area of 56.

The rectangle with a length of 10 and a width of 7 gives us 70 as an area.

The two triangles are congruent, so all we have to do is find the area of one and multiply it by two. The formula for an area of a triangle is 1/2(bxh)-or the two legs multiplied by each other and then divided by 2. The length of one of the legs is 8, and the other is 6. That gives us 48, which we will then divide by 2 to give us a total area of 24. Now we have to multiply that by two because there are two triangle sides on this figure and they are congruent. That gives us a product of 48.

Now we add up all the areas of each side:

42 + 56 + 70 + 48 = 216

Write an equation in point-slope form that describes the line with a slope of -3 that contains the point (1,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of equation of function passing the point (x₀,y₀) where m is the slope  is:  y - y₀ = m(x - x₀)  

m = -3

(1, 2)     ⇒    x₀ = 1,    y₀ = 2

Sean bought a laptop and a printer. He sold both items for £1,500 getting £1,300 just for the laptop. Sean made a 46% profit on the cost of the printer. What was the cost of the printer? Give your answer to 2 decimal places.

Answers

Answer: £137

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Sean sold both items for £1,500 getting £1,300 just for the laptop, the slave price of the printer will be:

= £1500 - £1300

= £200

Since we are informed that Sean made a 46% profit on the cost of the printer, the cost of the printer goes thus:

= £200 /(1 + Profit percent)

= £200 / (1 + 46%)

= £200 / 1.46

= £136.99

= £137 approximately
