e system that will cost her $139.40.
Write an inequality to show the least number of complete hours she needs to babysit to purchase the game system if she has one job scheduled.

Solve the inequality that you created in Part A.

Janie is considering changing her rate to $12.00 an hour with no flat fee. What effect would this change have on the hours that Janie needs to work to buy the gaming system?

Answer:

Charges of $12 per hour is a better option than $8 an hour to babysit with an additional flat fee of $15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Janie charges $8 an hour to babysit with an additional flat fee of $15 for each babysitting job. She wants to purchase a new game system that will cost her $139.40.

To Find: Write an inequality to show the least number of complete hours she needs to babysit to purchase the game

Solution:

Let say the number of hrs  = t

Charges = 8t + 15

Charges  ≥  new game system cost

=> 8t + 15   ≥  139.40

=>  8t   ≥  124.40

=> t  ≥  15.55

=> t = 16

minimum 16 hrs job

Janie is considering changing her rate to $12.00 an hour with no flat fee.

Charges = 12t

12t  ≥  139.40

=> t  ≥  11.62

=> t = 12

minimum 12 hrs job  

charges of $12 per hour is a better option than $8 an hour to babysit with an additional flat fee of $15

A family of five recently replaced its 5-gallon-per minute showerheads with water-saving 2-gallon per minute showerheads. Each m
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

2400 gallons of water

Step-by-step explanation:

The new shower head releases 2 gallons per minute as compared to the old type.

each person spends an average of 8 minutes in shower per day. This means each person will use 8*2 number of gallons per day.

the number of persons in the family is 5.

if 1 person uses 8*2 gallons per day, 5 people will require 8*2*5

In a 30 days period the number of gallons used by the family will be

=8*2*5*30

=2400 gallons.

Two pumps connected in parallel fail independently of one another on any given day. The probability that only the older pump wil
Bogdan [553]

Answer : Probability that the pumping system will fail on any given day = 0.005

Explanation:

Probability that only older pump fail = P(A) = 0.10

Probability that only newer pump fail = P(B) = 0.05

Since they are independent events ,

then the conditions will be

P(A∩B) = P(A). P(B)

             = 0.10 ×0.05

             =  0.005

Hence, the probability will fail on any given day = 0.005

What is the solution to this system of equations? x + 2 y = 4. 2 x minus 2 y = 5.
Mila [183]

Answer:

(x,y) = (5.8,-0.4)

Step-by-step explanation:

1.)  x + 2y = 4.2 - 2y = 5

2.) { x + 2y =5

    { 4.2 - 2y = 5

3.) { x + 2y = 5

    { y = -0.4

4.) x + 2x ( -4.0 ) = 5

5.) x= 5.8 ( a possible solution )

6.) ( x , y ) = ( 5.8 , -0.4 )  check to the solution

7.)  5.8 + 2 x ( -0.4 ) = 4.2 - 2 x ( -0.4 ) = 5

8.) 5 =5 =5
