Two friends have recently graduated from college and are now looking for jobs. They are debating which type of job is better: hourly or salary. One hourly position that pays $18 an hour, with time-and-a-half pay for overtime. One salary position for the same type of job pays $38,000, does not pay for overtime. If employees work exactly 40 hours per week, which job has a higher hourly rate? How can we calculate this? Describe (compare) how these two different hourly rates would look when graphed as a line. When interviewing for the salaried job, the friends learn that they may have to work about 10 hours of overtime each week. Explain why this math is crucial to determining which job pays more.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: This is a CRQ so you will want to answer using R.A.C.E

Step-by-step explanation:

First, restate the question: "If employees work exactly 40 hours the job with the higher pay rate is..."

Now let's figure it out who gets paid more. The hourly employee gets $18 per hour, for 40 hours each week... 18 times 40. That's $720 for each week.

But they don't work for just one week, they have to work the whole year! So that's 52 weeks. Take the $720 and multiply by 52 weeks.

Now you have the total for how much hourly guy will make in a whole year.

Compare this number with the salary guy who is making $38,000 per year. Which person get's paid more? Hourly or Salary? Don't forget to include your calculations!

.............................................................................

Next part of the question: "When graphed as a line..." This part of the question you do not have to do because we did not cover slope of a line yet. (Hi, I'm your math teacher by the way lol)

.............................................................................

Next part of the question adds 10 hours of overtime to their work week. This changes everything! Remember, the salary guy gets $38,000 every year, no matter how many hours of overtime he works.

However, the hourly guy gets extra money for these extra hours! For overtime, the hourly employee gets "time and a half" pay whenever he has to work extra time. This means he gets his original $18 per hour, AND now also gets half of that ($9 per hour) ... which adds up to a whopping $27 per hour for overtime (nice!)

Hourly guy works 10 extra hours per week, at $27 per hour. Multiply that and you get $270 per week. Remember, 52 weeks per year, so now take the $270 and multiply by 52 weeks. This gives you the total amount of overtime money hourly guy makes.

Combine his overtime money with his regular money (the first thing we did at the start of this problem) to get his new grand total for the year.

Salary guy still makes $38,000 per year. So now that they work overtime... who gets paid more?

Remember to answer in R.A.C.E format. Restate your question, Answer all parts of the question, Cite a math term/definition/concept that supports your answer (maybe use "hourly rate" or "salary"), and Explain your steps and thinking.

Good luck! send me an email for more help.

Mr. Alvarez makes a walkway of 3 cement slabs.He uses 14 cubic feet of cement to make the walkway.Each square slab has a volume of 4 cubic feet

Answers

Answer:

I suppose that you want to see how we can find the volume of each individual slab with the given information, the procedure is as follows.

The walkway has 3 cement slabs,

He uses a total amount of 14 cubic feet to make the complete walkway.

This means that the 3 cement slabs together have a total volume of 14 ft^3

To find the volume of each slab, we need to find the quotient between the total volume and the total number of slabs, then we get:

Volume of each slab = (14 ft^3)/3 = 4 ft^3

This means that each cement slab has a volume of 4 ft^3.

Answer:

6 ft^3

If the perimeter of the rectangle shown is 60 feet, we can use the equation 8x + 4 = 60 to find its dimensions. If the solution to this equation is x = 7, what are the dimensions of the rectangle?

Answers

Answer:

l= 28 feet

b = 2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by;

P= 2(l + b)

Comparing this to the equation; 8x + 4 = 60, i can write;

2(4x + 2) = 60

This means that;

l = 4x

b = 2

but x =7

So;

l = 4* 7 = 28 feet

b = 2 feet

Answer:

80 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The 132-deg angle is an exterior angle of the left triangle.

The 52-deg angle is a remote interior angle to the exterior angle above.

Angle VZY is also a remote interior angle to the exterior angle above.

Theorem:

The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of its two remote interior angles.

We use the theorem above to find the measure of angle VZY.

52 + m<VZY = 132

m<VZY = 80

Angles WZX and VZY are vertical angles, so they are congruent.

m<WZX = m<VZY = 80

Answer: 80 degrees

Answer:

m∠WZX = 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle V is a flat angle, so it measures 180°.

Find ∠YVZ (blue angle): 180° - 132° = 48°

Triangle VYZ is 180° (all triangles are 180°).

Find ∠YZV (red angle): 180° - 52° - 48° = 80°

Since you know ∠YZV, you can find ∠WZX (green angle).

∠YZV and ∠WZX are opposite angles, so they are congruent.

Therefore, ∠WZX = 80°

When Sarah was 6 months old, she was 21 in. tall and her head had a diameter of 4.5 in. Now, at 20
years old, she is 6 ft. 1 in. tall and her head has a diameter of 7.65 in. If Sarah is typical, should a
person at 20 years of age be considered "similar" to herself at 6 months of age? For all parts of the
problem write an equation and solve, showing ALL the work.
a. Find the ratio of height-to-head diameter for Sarah at 6 months old. If the ratio were the
same when she was 20 years old, what diameter would her head have?
b. Find the ratio of height-to-head diameter for Sarah at 20 years old. If the ratio were the
same when she was 6 months old, how tall weld she be at 6 months?
Draw or add images here

C
How close are the two ratios you found in Part (a) and Part (b)?
d. If Sarah were taller or shorter either at 6 months of age or 20 years of age, would this make
her more or less "similar" at those two ages? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

a. ratio of height to head at 6 months old is 21/4.5 =(4.66) (the height is 4.66 times the head)

- if the ratio is the same when she is 20 she would have a head with (6ft 1in =73inches) 73/ 4.66 = 15.67 inches in diameter

b. ratio height to head at 20 yrs old = 73/7.65 = 9.54 (the height is 9.54 times the head)

-she would be about 15.6 * 4.66 = 72.70 inches tall at 20 yrs old if we the ratio at 6 months old

c. in part a ratio is 4.66, in b it is 9.54. it's a big difference

d.if she was taller at 6 months old. her head size will be smaller when she is 20 yrs compare to what we calculate.

the she was shorter at 6 months old. the ratio will be smaller and the head may have been as big as her body

The ratio is 5 (sugar) : 50 (butter)...

You can make the unit rate: 1 cup of sugar: 10 tbs of butter

Since the other ratio is 80 tbs : 32 bananas...

1 tbs : .4 bananas

If = 58° and m = 120 in, what is the value of p to the nearest tenth of an inch?

Answers

Answer:

141.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

sin 58 = m/p = 120/p

120 = psin58

120/sin 58 = p

p = 141.5 in.

Another way to look at this problem is to remember that the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the longest side.  Since 141.5 is the only answer greater than 120, it would have to be the logical choice for the length of p

Area of the composite figure will be 52.5 cm².

Area of the composite figure,Divide the figure into small parts of different shapes.Add the areas of the divided figures.

Given composite figure is divided into two parts (1) triangle ABC (2) Rectangle DEFG

Area of ΔABC = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(AB)(BC)[/tex]

                        = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(5)[8-(1+2)][/tex]

                        = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(5)(5)[/tex]

                        = 12.5 cm²

Area of rectangle DEFG = Length × Width

                                        = 8 × 5

                                        = 40 cm²

Area of the composite figure = Area of triangle ABC + Area of DEFG

                                                = 12.5 + 40
