jill and her brother jack both walked up a hill. they started at the same time, but jill arrived at the top ten minutes before jack. while resting at the top, jack calculated that if he had walked 50% faster and jill had walked 50% slower, then they would have arrived at the top at the same time. how long did jack actually take to walk up to the top of the hill?

Answers

Answer 1

It took Jack 15 minutes to walk up to the top of the hill.

Let v = Jill's speed and v' = Jack's speed. Let t = time it takes Jill to walk up to the top of the hill, since Jill arrives 10 minutes earlier, Jack's time, t' = t + 10.

Since the distance covered by both Jack and Jill is the same, we have that

vt = v't'

vt = v'(t + 10)

Since Jack calculated that if he walked 50 % slower and Jill 50 % faster, they would arrived at the top at the same time, Jack's new speed is V = v' + 0.5v'. (since there is a 50 % increase in speed).

Also, Jill's new speed is V' = v - 0.5v (since there is a 50 % decrease in speed)

Since they both arrive at the top at the same time, T, and the distance covered is equal, we have that VT = V'T

(v' + 0.5v')T = (v - 0.5v)T

1.5v' = 0.5v

v'/v = 1.5/0.5

v'/v = 3

From (1)

vt = v'(t + 10)

(v'/v)t = t + 10

3t = t + 10

3t - t = 10

2t = 10

t = 5 minutes

Since Jack's time t' = t + 10, substituting t = 5 into the equation, we have

t' = t + 10

= 5 + 10

= 15 minutes

So, it took Jack 15 minutes to walk up to the top of the hill.

8. A freight company charges a flat insurance fee to deliver a package anywhere in the continental United States, plus an additional charge for each pound the package weighs. The graph shows the relationship between the weight of the package and the total cost to ship it. Based on the graph, how much would it cost to ship a . 25-pound box?
(A) $37.00
(B) $48.00
(C) $62.50
(D) $74.50​

Answers

Answer:

D 74.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution 1:

Observing the graph we know that when weight is 0lb we need to pay a $12 flat fee.

When weight=2 lb we notice that the total cost would be $17.

Take out the flat fee:

17-12 = $5.

So, for every 2 lb we need to pay an extra $5; therefore for every lb we need to pay $2.5.

25lb * $2.5/lb = $62.5

Add flat fee:  62.5+12=$74.5

Solution 2:

use linear equation to solve the problem.

1. Find the equation of the graph.

- pick 2 pts (0,12) and (2, 17)

2. Set up equation:

[tex]y=ax+b[/tex] and since the graph goes through (0,12)

thus  [tex]y=ax+12[/tex]

3. plug in

- Plug in (2,17)

- [tex]17=2a+12[/tex] and [tex]a=2.5[/tex]

- so [tex]y=2.5x+12[/tex] where x is the weight and y is the total cost in dollar.

4. solve for x=25

So you have to find 7% of 15,300 to start decreasing
7% of 15,300 is 1,071 therefore you do this problem: 15,300 - 1,071 = 14,229
Now the question from me is: do you keep the 7% of 15,300 or do you find the 7% of 14,229?
I did the math for both ways:

7% of 15,300 continuously = 3,519 acres in 2013

Or

7% of every resulting number after 15,300 = 6,851 acres in 2013

oo

Answers

Answer:

The first mechanic charges $45/hour while the second mechanic charges $50/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

X = rate of first mechanic

Y = rate of second mechanic

X + Y = 95 --->   Y = 95 - X

20X +5Y = 1150

Substituting the first equation into the second,

20X + 5(95 - X) = 1150

20X +  475 - 5X = 1150

15X + 475 = 1150

15x = 1150 - 475

15x = 675

X = 675/15 = 45 --> y = 95 - 45 = 50

CHECK: Plugging these results into the second equation:

                 20*45 + 5*50 = 900 + 250 = 1150

YES! Success! It checks!

So the first mechanic charges $45/hour while the second mechanic charges $50/hr! :)

A sample of 50 drills had a mean lifetime of 12.17 holes drilled when drilling a low-carbon steel. Assume the population standard deviation is 6.37.Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean lifetime of this type of drill

Answers

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the 95% confidence interval for the mean lifetime of this type of drill, in holes drilled, is (10.4, 13.94).

We are given the standard deviation for the population, hence, the z-distribution is used. The parameters for the interval is:

Sample mean of [tex]\overline{x} = 12.17[/tex]Population standard deviation of [tex]\sigma = 6.37[/tex]Sample size of [tex]n = 50[/tex].

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which z is the critical value.

We have to find the critical value, which is z with a p-value of [tex]\frac{1 + \alpha}{2}[/tex], in which [tex]\alpha[/tex] is the confidence level.

In this problem, [tex]\alpha = 0.95[/tex], thus, z with a p-value of [tex]\frac{1 + 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex], which means that it is z = 1.96.

Then:

[tex]M = 1.96\frac{6.37}{\sqrt{50}} = 1.77[/tex]

The confidence interval is the sample mean plus/minutes the margin of error, hence:

[tex]\overline{x} - M = 12.17 - 1.77 = 10.4[/tex]

[tex]\overline{x} + M = 12.17 + 1.77 = 13.94[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval for the mean lifetime of this type of drill, in holes drilled, is (10.4, 13.94).

10.5 million people watched this year. How
many people watched last year?

Answers

Answer:

3937500

Step-by-step explanation:

People watched last year = x

if ratings were up 125% x increased by x and 25% of x

25% of 10.5 million is 2625000

x increased by itself and 2625000

x*2+2625000 = 10500000

cancel out 2625000 by subtracting to both sides

10500000 - 2625000 = 7875000

x*2 = 7875000

cancel out 2 by dividing 2 on both sides

7875000/2 = 3937500
