Urban rail systems have been proposed to alleviate traffic congestion, but results in many cities have been cited as evidence that this approach to traffic management is ineffective. For example, a U.S. city that opened three urban rail branches experienced a net decline of 3,100 urban rail commuters during a period when employment increased by 96,000. Officials who favor urban rail systems as a solution to traffic congestion have attempted to counter this argument by noting that commuting trips in that city represent just 20 percent of urban travel.
The response of the officials to the claim that urban rail systems are ineffective is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it
A) presents no evidence to show that the statistics are incorrect
B) relies solely on general data about U.S. cities rather than data about the city in question
C) fails to consider that commuting trips may cause significantly more than 20 percent of the traffic congestion
D) fails to show that the decline in the number of urban rail commuters in one U.S. city is typical of U.S. cities generally
E) provides no statistics on the use of urban rail systems by passengers other than commuters

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C) fails to consider that commuting trips may cause significantly more than 20 percent of the traffic congestion

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct option is - C) fails to consider that commuting trips may cause significantly more than 20 percent of the traffic congestion

Reason -

Option A is incorrect because the statistics can not be incorrect.

Option B is incorrect because they are not talking about the city.

Option C is correct because Urban rail reduces congestion.

Option D is incorrect because the opposers cited the example of one city and the supporters are presenting evidence in the case of that city itself.

Option E is incorrect because they are providing an explanation for why the commuters data given by opposers is not relevant. The opposers talked about commuters.

The total cost of a catered meal for the Armstrong family reunion was to be split equally by the 20 people who came. Before the meal started, five more Armstrong's unexpectedly appeared. The total cost was shared equally among the 25 people, and so each person in the original group owed $4 less. What was the total cost of the catered meal?

Answers

Answer:

$400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial total cost be represented = $X.

Hence, for 20 family members

= $ x/20 each .......1

Now that they are 25 members

= $x/25 each.......2

Each in the original group which is equation 1 owed $4 less.

That is,

x/20 - 4 ........ 3

Now equate 2 and 3

X/20 - 4/1 = X/25

Taking the LCM of both sides

X-80/20 = X/25

Cross multiply both sides

25( x-80 ) = 20x

25x-2000 = 20x

Collecting like terms

25x-20x = 2000

5x = 2000

Divide through by 5

X = 2000/5

X = 400

The total cost for the catered meal is $400.

To check if it was correct

Put 400 into equation 1 and 2 and then minus whatever you get from each other, you will get $4

From equation 1

400/20 = $20

From equation 2

400/25 =$16

$20-$16 = $4

Answers

Question:

Rewrite the function to reveal when sales of compact discs and $0.

Answer:

The cost in 2010 is $0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]C(x) = -2x^2 + 38x + 40[/tex]

Required

Find x when [tex]C(x) = 0[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]C(x) = -2x^2 + 38x + 40[/tex]

[tex]-2x^2 + 38x + 40=0[/tex]

Expand

[tex]-2x^2 + 40x -2x+ 40=0[/tex]

Factorize:

[tex]-2x(x - 20) -2(x- 20)=0[/tex]

[tex](-2x - 2)(x- 20)=0[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]-2x-2=0\ or\ x - 20 = 0[/tex]

[tex]x = -1\ or\ x = 20[/tex]

x represents time.  So, it cannot be negative.

[tex]x = 20[/tex]

20 years after 1990 is: 2010. Hence, the cost in 2010 is $0

When asked to find the sum of two mixed numbers with different
denominators, you should before you add.
A. round each fraction
B. find the difference
C. find a common denominator

Answers

“C” Os the correct answer

When asked to find the sum of two mixed numbers with different denominators, you should find a (C) common denominator before you add.

To add fractions with different denominators, it is necessary to find a common denominator for both fractions. Once the fractions have the same denominator, you can add or subtract the numerators while keeping the denominator unchanged. This allows for a meaningful addition of the fractions.

To find a common denominator, you need to determine the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. The LCM is the smallest multiple that both denominators can divide evenly into. Once you have the common denominator, you can convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with that denominator and then perform the addition.

After finding the common denominator, you add the numerators of the fractions and keep the common denominator. This will give you the sum of the two mixed numbers with different denominators. The correct answer is C. find a common denominator.

If a volume of an object varies directly with its height and if the volume is 24 while the height is 3 what is k

Answers

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for direct variation =

Y ∝ kX

such that

Y = kX

from the question we have here

Y = Volume = 24

x = height = 3

when we put this in the formula above in bold

24 ∝ 3k

24 = 3k

from here we have to find the value of k. to do this, we divide through by 3

24/3 = 3k/3

8 = k

therefore the value of k is 8

Find two negative consecutive integers such that the square of the first is five more than the second. Find the integers.

Answers

Answer:

the two consecutive negative integers are -2 and -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent these negative integers by m and n.

Then (because the integers are consecutive) n = m + 1, and m^2 = n + 5.

Substituting m + 1 for n in the second equation, we get:

m^2 = m + 1 + 5, or

m^2 - m - 6 = 0

This factors into (m - 3)(m + 2) = 0.  The only negative root is -2.  

Thus, the two consecutive negative integers are -2 and -1.

Check:  Is the  square of the first five more than the second?

Is (-2)^2 = -1 + 5?  YES

The integers aer -2 and -1.

 1/3 hour          hour

Multiply this unit rate by 10 hours, obtaining 90 toys

pls answer this i have no clue

Answers

Answer:

90 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The three angles of a triangle always add up to 180 degrees, so knowing this, all three of the measures given should add up to 180.

First, you need to solve for x:

S(x+10) + R(2x+60) + T(50+x) = 180

Add up all of the like terms:

10 + 60 + 50 = 120

x + 2x + x = 4x

So now you are left with 4x + 120 = 180

And solve for x:

4x/4 + 120/4 = 180/4

x + 30 = 45

x + 30-30 = 45-30

x = 15

Now that we have the value of x, plug it into the measure given for angle R:

(2x+60)

= (2(15)+60)

= (30 + 60)

= 90

So the measure of angle R is 90 degrees.
