Answer: 300 hrs

The time spent behind the wheel by the average Raleigh driver in 2016 is  300 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

Raleigh driver spent 18 hours in traffic jams

And it accounts for 6% of their total driving time

Now

let total driving time be = x hrs

so

6% of total driving time = 18 hrs

6/100 × x = 18hrs

6x = 1800 hrs

x = 1800/6

x = 300 hrs

∴ The time spent behind the wheel by the average Raleigh driver in 2016 is  300 hrs

In ΔSTU, the measure of ∠U=90°, ST = 9.7 feet, and US = 4 feet. Find the measure of ∠T to the nearest degree.
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Around 24 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

*Make sure calculator is on degree mode*

Try to draw out triangle--it helps

Need to use law of sines... this is where an angle and the side that opposes it are equal to each other. For example, Angle U is equal to 9.7

\frac{sin\alpha }{4} = \frac{sin90}{9.7}

Multiply 4 and sin90 and then divide the product by 9.7

Use sin^{-1} on calculator to convert the answer into degrees

The following table shows the number of hours a cleaning company spends cleaning apartments.
mart [117]
First, plot the points in a graph to see the general trend. The independent variable is time. I used MS Excel to plot the points in a graph, as shown in the attached picture.

1. The relationship is linear as shown in the general trend.
2. The relationship presents that as time increases, the number of apartments cleaned also increases. The two variables are directly proportional.
3. The rate of change represents the slope of the line. Choose any two points and find the slope. 

m = (6-3)/(2-1) = 3 apartments cleaned/hour

Cindy found a collection of baseball cards in her attic worth $8,000. the collection is estimated to increase in value by 1.5% p
Sergio [31]
A]
Exponential function is given by the form:
y=a(b)ˣ
where:
a=initial value
b=growth factor
From the question:
a=$8000, b=1.015, 
thus the exponential growth function of this situation is:
y=8000(1.015)ˣ

b] The value of the collection after 7 years will be:
x=7 years
Using the formula:
y=8000(1.015)ˣ
plugging the values we get:
y=8000(1.015)⁷
y=8,878.76

Answer: $8,878.76
