The total operating costs of a monorail are paid using a combination of passenger fares and tax revenue. The farebox recovery ra

tio is the ratio of passenger fares to total operating costs. A monorail in one city has $69 million in operating costs per year, and uses $30 million from tax revenue.
To the nearest hundredth, what is the farebox recovery ratio for the city?

Answer:

0.57 or 0.56

Step-by-step explanation:

passenger fares + tax revenue = operating costs

Thus:

passenger fares = operating costs - tax revenue

= $69 million - $30 million

= $39 million

The ratio of passenger fares to total operating costs is:

$39 million

= 0.5652.

$69 million

To the nearest hundredth, the farebox recovery ratio is 0.57.

Explain how you could write a quadratic function in factored form that would have a vertex with an x-coordinate of 3 and two dis
dem82 [27]

Two distinct roots means two real solutions for x (the parabola needs to cross the x-axis twice)

Vertex form of a quadratic equation: (h,k) is vertex

y = a(x-h)^2 + k

The x of the vertex needs to equal 3

y = a(x-3)^2 + k

In order to have two distinct roots the parabola must be (+a) upward facing with vertex below the x-axis or (-a) downward facing with vertex above the x-axis. Parabolas are symmetrical so for an easy factorable equation make "a" 1 or -1 depending on if you want the upward/downward facing one.

y = (x-3)^2 - 1

Vertex (3,-1) upwards facing with two distinct roots 4 and 2

y = x^2 -6x + 9 - 1

y = x^2 -6x + 8

y = (x - 4)(x - 2)

Yes because the waist is far too thin compared to an averaged human woman

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

<h2><em>2(3s-14)</em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the angles ∠ABF=8s-6, ∠ABE = 2(s + 11), we are to find the angle ∠EBF. The following expression is true for the three angles;

∠ABF = ∠ABE + ∠EBF

Substituting the given angles into the equation to get the unknown;

8s-6 = 2(s + 11)+ ∠EBF

open the parenthesis

8s-6 = 2s + 22+ ∠EBF

∠EBF = 8s-6-2s-22

collect the like terms

∠EBF = 8s-2s-22-6

∠EBF = 6s-28

factor out the common multiple

∠EBF = 2(3s-14)

<em></em>

<em>Hence the measure of angle ∠EBF is 2(3s-14)</em>

In 2.5 hours, Mr. Castelli drives a distance of 125 miles. He wants to know his average driving speed in meters per minute. Comp
xeze [42]
Okay. So we'll start off by talking about miles per hour. Me. Castelli drove 125 miles in 2.5 hours. Divide 125 and 2.5 hours and you see that he drove 50 miles (81 kilometers) in one hour. 1,000 meters are in 1 meter, and 1,000 * 81 = 81,000. So he drives 81,000 meters in 1 hour. To find meters per minute, you divide 81,000 by 60, and you'll get 1,350 meters per minute. Here it is written for you to understand it better:
Miles per hour: 50
Kilometers per hour: 81
Meters per hour: 81,000
Meters per minute: 1,350

Kitty [74]

Answer:

the probability that randomly selected applicants over 10 years of experience is 0.6791

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the probability that randomly selected applicants over 10 years of experience is as follows:

Total would be

= 187 have 10 + years experience

Now

P(graduate | 10+) = (graduate and 10+ years experience) ÷ (10 + years of experience)

= 127 ÷ 187

= 0.6791

Hence, the probability that randomly selected applicants over 10 years of experience is 0.6791
