Answer:

Man has total $8000 money

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total money he had be x

Now, as he spent $\frac{15}{16}$ of his money in buying a car

and, it is also given that price of car is $7500

So, we can write it as,

$\frac{15}{16} \times x = 7500$

⇒ $x= \frac{7500 \times16}{15}$

⇒ $x=\frac{120000}{15}\\$

⇒ x = 8000

Hence, before buying car he has $8000.

The number of cases of a new disease can be modeled by the quadratic regression equation y = –2x2 + 36x + 6, where x represents

nirvana33 [79]

Since x represents the year, year 15 will be 15 years.

Plug in "15" as your "x"

y = -2(15)^2 + 36(15) + 6

15^2 = 225 (Exponents come before multiplication)

y = -2(225) + 36(15) + 6

y = -450 + 540 + 6

y = 90 + 6

y = 96

The answer is B

Which expression is equivalent to Negative 2 and one-fourth divided by negative two-thirds? StartFraction 9 over 4 EndFraction d

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

Negative StartFraction 9 over 4 EndFraction divided by two-thirds

i.e.

$-\dfrac{9}{4} \div \dfrac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find equivalent expression to :

Negative 2 and one-fourth divided by negative two-thirds

i.e.

$-2\dfrac{1}{4} \div \dfrac{2}{3} = ?$

We have to convert the the mixed fraction form $-2\frac{1}{4}$ to simpler $\frac{p}{q}$ fraction form.

Let us learn the concept first.

Mixed fraction is combination of a whole number and a fraction.

Expression of the form $a\frac{b}{c}$ have the following understanding:

c is the divider

b is the remainder and

a is the quotient.

To convert mixed fraction to fraction we can use the following:

$a\dfrac{b}{c} = \dfrac{a \times c+b}{c}$

$\therefore -2\dfrac{1}{4} = -\dfrac{(2 \times 4+1)}{4} = -\dfrac{9}{4}$

Hence

$-2\dfrac{1}{4} \div \dfrac{2}{3} = -\dfrac{9}{4} \div \dfrac{2}{3}$

i.e. the given expression is equivalent to :

Negative StartFraction 9 over 4 EndFraction divided by two-thirds
