The pencil costs $0.25.
One way to deduce this is to divide 1.50 by 2 (equaling 0.75) and then subtracting .5 to get 0.25 because if it's $1 more, then the ruler would cost 0.75 + 0.5 and the pencil would cost 0.75 - 0.5, making a total of $1.50.
Another way is to make it an equation. Let's say the ruler is r dollars and the pencil is p dollars.
r + p = 1.50
r = p + 1.00
If we know these two equations, then you can substitute p + 1.00 in the 1st equation (instead of r). This gets us:
p + 1.00 + p = 1.50
You can simplify this into:
2p + 1.00 = 1.50
Then you subtract 1.00 from both sides:
2p = 0.50
And you divide 2 from both sides:
p = 0.25
Getting you the answer of:
The pencil costs $0.25

Answer: inverse of given function = log(x)/log(3)
Step-by-step explanation: how to find the inverse of any function?
in the complete function, replace y with "x" and x with "y"then, solve the obtained equation from step 2 for yand, then the value obtained for "y" is the inverse required i.e. = f^{-1}(x)
now, we solve the problem:
given : - y = 3^x
replacing the value of "y" with "x", we get,
x = 3^y
to solve for "y" we should take the "logarithm" for both sides
log (x) = y log(3)
or y = log(x)/log(3)
or f^(-1) (x) = log(x)/log(3)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In the normal distribution curve, the mean is in the middle and each line to the left and to the right of that mean represent 1- and 1+ the standard deviation. If our mean is 400, then 400 + 50 = 450; 450 + 50 = 500; 500 + 50 = 550. Going from the mean to the left, we subtract the standard deviation and 400 - 50 = 350; 350 - 50 = 300; 300 - 50 = 250. We are interested in the range that falls between 350 and 450 as a percentage. That range represents the two middle sections, each containing 34% of the data. So the total percentage of response times is 68%. We are looking then for 68% of the 144 emergency response times in town. .68(144) = 97.92 or 98 emergencies that have response times of between 350 and 450 seconds.
The answer to this question is choice option letter C
Answer:
492 0/10
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that the perimeter is 4 times the length of the side, now we know that this side "l" is given by:
l = 4 in * 24 + 23 * 5 ft
l = 96 in + 115 ft
Now, we pass the inches to pes, knowing that 1 foot equals 12 inches, so
96 in * 1 ft / 12 in = 8 ft
therefore replacing it remains:
l = 8 ft + 115 ft
l = 123 ft
now the perimeter:
p = 123 * 4
p = 492
to change to a mixed number:
4920/10 = 492 0/10
