Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there were five rummers in the team;

Each runner finished one after the other

Total. Points scored =. 55

Let the positions of each runner be :

1sr runner = p

2nd runner =.p + 1

3rd runner =.p + 2

4th runner =.p + 3

5th runner =.p + 4

(1st + 2nd + 3rd + 4th +. 5th) runner = 55

(p + p + 1 + p + 2 + p + 3 + p + 4) = 55

5p + 10 = 55

5p = 55 - 10

5p = 45

p = 9

Hence,

1st runner = 9th

2nd runner = 9 + 1 = 10th

3rd runner = 9 + 2 = 11th

4th runner = 9 + 3 = 12th

5th runner = 9+ 4 = 13th

For dinner, Abelita chooses the Italian salad that costs $3.99 before tax, and Franco chooses the fettuccini alfredo that costs
ivolga24 [154]

Answer

Find out the total cost for their dinner.

To prove

As given

For dinner, Abelita chooses the Italian salad that costs $3.99 before tax.

Franco chooses the fettuccini alfredo that costs $7.17 before tax.

Total cost of the dinner before tax = $ 3.99 + $7.17

                                                         = $ 11.16

As given

If the sales tax is 5 percent .

5 % is written in the decimal form.

= \frac{5}{100}

= 0.05

5% tax on the dinner cost = 0.05 ×  11.16

                                          = $0.558

Total cost of the dinner = Total cost of the dinner before tax + tax cost

                                      = $11.16 + $0.558

                                     = $ 11.718

                                     = $11.72 (approx)

Therefore the total cost for their dinner is $ 11.72 (approx)

The Green Lawns Company uses the equation C=82.75a+56 to determine the amount to charge for mowing a city park, where a is the n
ratelena [41]

Answer: The significance of the number 82.75 in the equation = amount charged per acre in the park.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The Green Lawns Company uses the equation C=82.75a+56 to determine the amount to charge for mowing a city park, where a is the number of acres in the park and C is the cost in dollars.

In linear equation y=mx+c, = rate of change of y with respect to x.

Here Coefficient of a = rate of change of C with respect to a.

i.e.  Coefficient of a =amount charged per acre in the park.

Hence,  The significance of the number 82.75 in the equation = amount charged per acre in the park.

Hello,

Let 's a the width,
b the heigth

2a+b=80==>b=80-2a

Area=A(a,b)=a*b=a*(80-2a)
=-2a²+80a
=-2(a²-2*20a+20²-20²)
=-2(a-20)² +800
Area is maxi if a=20 and area max=800

If point C is inside AvB, then __+m CvB= m AvB
adelina 88 [10]

Answer: OPTION A

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to remember the "Angle Addition Postulate" in order to solve this exercise.

You have this larger angle:

 \angle AVB

According to the "Angle Addition Postulate", if the point "C"  is in the interior of \angle AVB, then the measure of this angle can be obtained by adding the angle \angle AVC and the angle \angle CVB.

You can observe in the figure that:

 m\angle AVC=39\°\\\\\mangle CVB=23\°

Then you get that:

m\angle AVC+m\angle CVB=m\angle AVB\\\\39\°+23\°=62\°

Therefore, the correct answer is Option A.
