Question:

You are in a bike race. When you get to the first checkpoint, you are 2/5 of the distance to the second checkpoint. When you get to the second check point, you are 1/4 of the distance to the finish. If the entire race is 40 miles, what is the distance between the start and the first check point?

Answer: 4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let distance between start to first checkpoint = x

First checkpoint to second checkpoint = 2/5 of x

Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = ( 2/5 of start to checkpoint 2)

Distance of start to checkpoint 2 = (1/4 of start to finish)

If start to checkpoint 2 = 1/4 of start to finish

Then,

Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = ( 2/5 * 1/4 of start to finish)

Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = 2/20 of start to finish = 1/10 of start to finish

Entire race = 40 miles = distance from start to finish

1/ 10 of 40

= ( 1/10) × 40

= 4 miles

What is the equation of the graph below? On a coordinate plane, a curve goes through (0, 0). It has a maximum of 1 and a minimum
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

y=cos(x+π)

Step-by-step explanation:

Known that the cosine function has a period of 2π.

Now, the parental function is y = cosx, which has y-intercept at y = 1, and x-intercept at π/2.

Notice that the function showed in the graph attached has y-intercept at y = -1 and x-intercept at π/2. This indicates that the function has been moved leftwards π units.

Therefore, the function that belongs to this graph is

y=cos(x + \pi)

James is the manager at an entertainment arena that draws an average 7,000 patrons per event. Each ticket taker can process 350
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

No. James didn't have enough ticket takers to process the average number of patrons hat usually attend the events.

He need to hire 2 more ticket taker (i.e 20 ticket takers) in order to process the average number of patrons hat usually attend the events.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Average amount of patron per event= 7000

Each ticket taker can process = 350

Number of ticket takers hired = 18

We need to find the whether he hire enough to process the average number of patrons that usually attend the events.

Solution:

We will find the Average amount of patron ticket takers can process.

Now we can say that

Average amount of patron ticket takers can process is equal to Each ticket taker can process multiplied by Number of ticket takers hired.

framing in equation form we get;

Average amount of patron ticket takers can process = 350 \times 18 = 6300\ patrons

Hence With the required hires James cannot fully process the patrons usually attending the event.

To find how many ticket takers required we will divide average number of patrons with  Each ticket taker can process.

framing in equation form we get;

ticket takers required = \frac{7000}{350}=20

hence In order t process the the average number of patrons that usually attend the events James will require 20 ticket takers.
