Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

The hourly charge is $4 per hour for the first 3 hours.

The rate then drops to $2 per hour until the end of the 6th hour.  

The hourly rate drops further to $1 per hour between the 6th and 10th  hours.

The maximum price of the bike rental is $30.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the graph corresponds to the hourly rate for the bike rental.

During the first three hours of the bike rental, the price increases by $4 each hour.

Between the 3rd  and 6 th hours, the slope of the graph is 2, which means the hourly rate of the bike rental is $2 per hour.

Between the 6th and 10th hours, the rate is $1 per hour.

After the 10th  hour, the price, P, stops increasing. The maximum price of the bike rental is $30.

ivanzaharov [21]

<u>ANSWER:</u>

Kari bought 3 boxes of cookies to share. The algebraic expression is \frac{36}{x}

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, Kari bought 3 boxes of cookies to share with a book club.  

Each box contains 12 cookies.  

So, in total we have 3 x 12 cookies = 36 cookies.

Now, we have to find how many cookies can each person p will get.

Let, the total number of persons be x.

Then, after equally sharing the cookies,

\text { Number of cookies with each person }=\frac{\text {number } of \text { cookies available.}}{\text {total number of persons}}

=\frac{36}{x} \text { cookies. }

Hence, the algebraic expression is \frac{36}{x}

A person died leaving property worth rs.4000.40. His widow get 0.125 of the property and his son got 0.4 of the remainder. What
belka [17]

Answer:

Widow's Share = Rs 500.05

Son's share = Rs 1400.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Property = 4000.40

Widow get share = 0.125

So, Share of Widow = 0.125 * 4000.40

Widow's Share = Rs 500.05

Remaining Property = 4000.40 - 500.05

Remaining Property = 3500.35

Son's share = 0.4 * 3500.35

Son's share = Rs 1400.14

A statue is mounted on top of a 16 foot hill. From the base of the hill to where you are standing is 77 feet and the statue subt
DanielleElmas [232]

Consider right triangle with vertices B - base of the hill, S - top of the statue and Y - you. In this triangle angle B is right and angle Y is 13.2°. If h is a height of the statue, then the legs YB and BS have lengths 77 ft and 16+h ft.

You have lengths of two legs and measure of one acute angle, then you can use tangent to find h:

\tan 13.2^{\circ}=\dfrac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}} =\dfrac{16+h}{77}, \\ \\ 0.2345=\dfrac{16+h}{77},\\  \\ 16+h=0.2345\cdot 77=18.0565,\\ h=18.0565-16=2.0565 ft.

Answer: the height of the statue is 2.0565 ft.

Two angles are complementary. the measure of ∠abc is x° and the measure of ∠dbc is (3x + 10)°. what is the value of x? enter you
Marta_Voda [28]
This problem can be expressed through the equation:
x+3x+10= 90

To solve it we subtract 10 on both sides
→x+3x=80
Add x and 3x
→4x=80
And divide each side by 4
→x=80/4
→x=20
