A taxi firm charges a fixed cost of $10 together with a variable cost of $3 per mile. (a) Work out the average cost per mile for a journey of 4 miles. (b) Work out the minimum distance travelled if the average cost per mile is to be less than $3.25

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$5.5 per mile

40 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Fixed cost = $10

Variable cost = $3

For a journey of 4 miles ;

Cost = fixed cost + Variable Cost

Cost = $10 + $3x

x = number of miles

Cost = $10 + $3(4)

Cost = $10 + $12 = $22

Average cost per mile for a journey of 4 miles

Cost / number of miles

$22 / 4 = $5.5 per mile

Minimum distance if average per mile is to be less Than 3.25

$3.25 = (10 + 3x) / x

3.25x = 10 + 3x

3.25x - 3x = 10

0.25x = 10

x = 10 / 0.25

x = 40 miles

Answer:

If two angles have common side and they shares common vertex, they are called adjacent angles.

When two lines crosses each other, the opposite angles are called vertical angles as they share same vertex.

Two angles shown in diagram are adjacent as they are on common side.

Both the angles are on a straight line, hence

sum of angles of a triangle=180

x+64+x+80+44=180

2x+188=180

2x=180-188=-8

x=-8/2=-4

Answer:

You can prove side BD because of the reflexive property (using two of the same sides to prove something) and you are given the other side and the angle. So, since you have a side, angle, and side in that order, you can prove it with SAS.

To indirectly measure the distance across a lake, Nachelle makes use of a couple landmarks at points D and E. She measures CF, FD, and FG as marked. Find the distance across the lake (DE), rounding your answer to the nearest hundredth of a meter

Answers

Answer:

207.68 m

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram,

ΔDEC is similar to ΔFGC

Therefore,

(DE)/(FG) = (DC)/(FC).............. Equation 1

make line DE the subject of the equation

DE = [(DC)(FG)/(FC)]................ Equation 2

From the diagram,

Given: DC = 190 m, FG = 142.1 m, FC = 130 m

Substitute these values into equation 2

DE = (190×142.1/130)

DE = 207.68 m

Hence the distance across the lake is 207.68 m

Applying the similarity theorem, the distance across the lake to the nearest hundredth is: DE = 207.68 m

Recall:

The corresponding side lengths of two triangles that are similar are always proportional to each other.

Thus:

ΔCDE  and ΔCFG are similar to each other

FG = 142.1 m

FC = 130 m

DF = 60 m

DC = 130 + 60 = 190 m

Therefore:

DE/FG = DC/FC

Substitute

DE/142.1 = 190/130

Cross multiply

[tex]DE = \frac{190 \times 142.1}{130} \\\\\mathbf{DE = 207.68 $ m}[/tex] (nearest hundredth).

Therefore, applying the similarity theorem, the distance across the lake to the nearest hundredth is: DE = 207.68 m

The probability that Caroline wins a raffle is given by the expression
m/n.
Write down an expression, in the form of a combined single fraction, for the probability that Caroline does not win.

Answers

Answer:  [tex]\frac{n-m}{n}[/tex]

This is the same as writing (n-m)/n

Don't forget about the parenthesis if you go with the second option.

==================================================

Explanation:

The probability that she wins is m/n, where m,n are placeholders for positive whole numbers.

For instance, m = 2 and n = 5 leads to m/n = 2/5. This would mean that out of n = 5 chances, she wins m = 2 times.

The probability of her not winning is 1 - (m/n). We subtract the probability of winning from 1 to get the probability of losing.

We could leave the answer like this, but your teacher says that the answer must be "in the form of a combined single fraction".

Doing a bit of algebra would have these steps

[tex]1 - \frac{m}{n}\\\\\frac{n}{n} - \frac{m}{n}\\\\\frac{n-m}{n}\\\\[/tex]

and now the expression is one single fraction.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following equations

3x+5y=14 ..... 1 * 2

6x-4y=9 ... 2 * 1

__________________

6x+10y=28

6x-4y=9  

Subtract

10y+4y = 28 - 9

14y = 19

y = 19/14

Get the value of x

Since 3x+5y = 14

3x+5(19/14) = 14

3x + 95/14 = 14

3x = 14 - 95/14

3x = 101/14

42x = 101

x = 101/42

Hence the solution is (101/42, 19/14)

2) Find the median for his data set of days that had a temperature above 400C.

3) Find the mode for his data set of days that had a temperature above 400C.

4) If, instead, there are 5 more days per month that had a temperature above 400C, what will be the mean for the data?

5) If, instead, there are 2 more days per month that had a temperature above 400C, what will be the mode for the data?

Answers

Answer:

1) 11.75

2) 11.5

3) 11 and 14

4) 16.75

5) 13, and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data is 14, 14, 10, 12, 11, 13, 11, 11, 14, 10, 13, 8

1) The mean, [tex]\overline x[/tex] = (14+14+10+12+11+13+11+11+14+10+13+8)/12 = 11.75

2) The data arranged in increasing order is presented as follows;

8, 10, 10, 11, 11, 11, 12, 13, 13, 14, 14, 14

The count of he data points = 12

The median = The data at the (n + 1)/2 = (12 + 1)/2 = 6.5th position = 11 + (12  11)/2 = 11.5

The median = 11.5

3) The mode of the data set are 11 and 14

4) Where there are 5 more days per month that had a temperature above 40°C, we get;

The mean, [tex]\overline x_1[/tex] = (14+14+10+12+11+13+11+11+14+10+13+8+5×12 )/12 = 16.75 = [tex]\overline x[/tex] + 5

5) Given that there are 2 more days per month that had a temperature above 40°C, we get the days per month with temperatures above 40°C as follows;

8 + 2, 10 + 2, 10 + 2, 11 + 2, 11 + 2, 11 + 2, 12 + 2, 13 + 2, 13 + 2, 14 + 2, 14 + 2, 14 + 2

10, 12, 12, 13, 13, 13, 14, 15, 15, 16, 16, 16

Therefore, the mode are 13, and 16

Michele was making tuna salad for a party. The recipe for 10 servings called for 8 oz of mayonnaise. A total of 240 people were expected to be at the brunch. How much mayonnaise would Michele need?

Answers

1. Divide 240 by 10 = 24

2. Multiply 24 • 8 = 192

Michele will need 192 oz. of mayonnaise.

Answer:

192 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

1) Create a proportion

[tex]\frac{8 (oz)}{10(servings)} =\frac{x(mayo)}{240(servings)} \\\frac{8}{10} =\frac{x}{240}[/tex]

2) Solve for x

[tex]\frac{8}{10} =\frac{x}{240}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 240

[tex]\frac{8}{10} *240=x\\192=x[/tex]

Therefore, Michele would need 192 oz of mayonnaise.

the 28th term of an ap is -5,find the common difference if the first term is 31​

Answers

Answer:

The common difference is -4/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the direct formula for an arithmetic sequence is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle x_n=a+d(n-1)[/tex]

Where n is the nth term, a is the initial term, and d is the common difference.

We are given that the first term a is 31.

We also know that the 28th term is -5. Hence, x₂₈ = -5. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle x_{28}=-5=(31)+d(28-1)[/tex]

Solve for d. Simplify:

[tex]-5=31+27d[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]\displaystyle 27d=-36[/tex]

Divide both sides by 27. Hence, the common difference is:

[tex]\displaystyle d=-\frac{36}{27}=-\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Answer:

-4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is equivalent to:

Find the slope of a line going through points (28,-5) and (1,31).

*Arithmetic sequences are linear. The common difference is the slope.

Any ways to find the slope line the points up and subtract vertically. Then put 2nd difference over 1st difference.

(28,-5)

(1,31)

---------subtracting

27, -36

So the slope or the common difference of this line or arithmetic sequence is -36/27. This reduces to -4/3.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]b=80[/tex]°

Step-by-step explanation:

The central angles theorem states that the measure of an angle whose vertex is the center of the circle is equivalent to the arc surrounding it. One can apply this here by stating that the measure of the arc surrounding the (90) degree angle is (90) degrees.

The total degree measure of a circle is (360). Thus one can form an equation and solve it to find the measure of the arc surrounding the angle (b). Call the arc surrounding angle (b); ([tex]b_1[/tex]).

[tex](b_1)+(90)+(110)=360[/tex]

Simplify,

[tex]b_1+200=360[/tex]

Inverse operations,

[tex]b_1+200=360[/tex]

[tex]b_1=160[/tex]

The peripheral angles theorem states that if the vertex of an angle formed between a tangent and a chord, is on the circumference (outer edge) of a circle, then the measure of the angle is equal to half of the measure of the surrouding arc. Please note that a chord is a line segment in a circle that intersects the circle in two points. A tangent is a line segment that intersects a circle at one point. One can apply this here by stating the following,

[tex]b=\frac{b_1}{2}[/tex]

Substitute,

[tex]b=\frac{160}{2}[/tex]

Solve,
