After a parade, a group of volunteers is helping to pick up the trash along a 2-mile stretch of a road. The group decides to divide the length of the road so that each volunteer is responsible for cleaning up equal-length sections. Find the length of a road section for each volunteer if there are 8 volunteers

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 0.25 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving a word question, look for certain words that tell you what you should be solving for, and how to solve it.

In this problem, the group DIVIDES the length of the road EQUALLY, which tells you that in order to solve the problem, you must divide the length of the road by the number of volunteers.

The road is 2 miles long, and there are 8 volunteers, so

8/2 = 0.25

Thus, each person must clean 0.25 miles of road.

Answer 2

Using proportions, it is found that the length of road section for each volunteer will be of 0.25 miles.

-----------------------

This question is solved by proportions, using a rule of three to find the length of the road assigned to each volunteer, as each volunteers will be assigned an equal length of the road.In total, the length of the road is of 2 miles. Thus, 8 volunteers are responsible for 2 miles. For how many miles will a single volunteer be responsible?

-----------------------

The rule of three is given by:

8 volunteers - 2 miles.

1 volunteer - x miles

Applying cross multiplication:

[tex]8x = 2[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{2}{8}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x = 0.25[/tex]

The length of road section for each volunteer will be of 0.25 miles.

Given A(-1,4), B(2,-5), and C(3, 4), which coordinate pair will make AB perpendicular to CD ?

Answers

Answer:

The coordinate pair of the point D that will make AB perpendicular to CD is the D(6, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line AB can be presented as follows;

[tex]Slope, \, m =\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]

[tex]m =\dfrac{-5-4}{2-(-1)} = \dfrac{-9}{3} =-3[/tex]

The slope of a perpendicular line  to a given line is equal to the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line

Therefore, the slope of the perpendicular to a line that has a slope of m is -1/m

The slope of the perpendicular to the line AB is therefore [tex]-\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]

From which we get the equation of the perpendicular to the line AB given as follows;

y - 4 = -1/3 × (x - 3)

y - 4 = -x/3 + 1

y = -x/3 + 1 + 4

y = -x/3 + 5

When x = 6, y = -6/3 + 5 = 3

Therefore, the coordinate pair of the point D that will make AB perpendicular to CD is the D(6, 3).

Using the slope concept, it is found that the coordinate pair is:

[tex]D\left(x, \frac{x}{3}+9\right)[/tex]

The slope of a coordinate pair [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] is given by the change in y divided by the change in x, that is:

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

If two segments are perpendicular, the multiplication of their slopes is -1.

For segment AB, the slope is:

[tex]m = \frac{-5 - 4}{2 - (-1)} = -\frac{9}{3} = -3[/tex]

At segment CD, we want that:

[tex]-3m = -1[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Considering D(x,y), we have that:

[tex]\frac{y - 4}{x - 3} = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Writing y as a function of x:

[tex]x - 3 = 3(y - 4)[/tex]

[tex]3y - 12 = x - 3[/tex]

[tex]3y = x + 9[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{x}{3} + 9[/tex]

Thus, the coordinate pair is:

[tex]D\left(x, \frac{x}{3}+9\right)[/tex]

Answer:

x=160°, y= 62°

Hope this helps

Answer:

∠X = 160°, ∠Y = 62°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ABD = ∠FDC = 20° [ DF║AB ]

∠X = 180° - ∠FDC

∠X = 180° - 20° = 160°

∠FCD = ∠BCA = 98°        

∠Y = ∠CAB [ DF║AB]

∠BCA+∠CAB+∠ABC = 180°

98°+∠CAB+20° = 180°

∠CAB = 180° - 118° = 62° = ∠Y

Dan’s school is planning a field trip to an art museum. Bus company A charges a $60 rental fee plus $4 per student Bus company B charges $150 plus $2 per student. How many students would have to go for the cost to be the same?

Answers

Answer: 45 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Company A’s charge can be represented by: 4s+60

Company B’s charge can be represented by: 2s+150

s is the charge per student

To find the cost at which they are the same, I will set both equations equal to each other.

4s+60=2s+150

-2s -2s

2s+60=150

-60 -60

2s=90 Divide both sides by 2

s=45

So when 45 students are going, the cost for both companies are the same.
