Including the bus driver, there are 15 people on a bus. During the bus ride, each person produces 750 BTUs (British Thermal Unit

s). The interior of the bus measures 38 feet by 8.5 feet by 6.25 feet. How many BTUs per cubic foot are produced?

This is the concept of applications of volume. We are required to calculate BTUs per cubic foot. This will be given by the formula:
(BTU)/volume
Total BTU=15*750=11,250
(assuming the bus is a perfect cuboid) volume of the bus will be;
volume=length*width*height
=38*8.5*6.25
=2018.75 ft^2
Thus the BTUs per foot will be:
11250/2018.75
5.57 BTUs/ft

At the parents evening the ratio of mums to dads was 3:2. Out of 500 appointments how many were with mums?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

300

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum the parts of the ratio : 3 + 2 = 5 parts

Divide the number of appointments by 5 to find the value of one part of the ratio, that is

\frac{500}{5} = 100 ← value of 1 part of the ratio

The mums consisted of 3 parts, hence

3 × 100 = 300 ← appointments with mums

A trapezoid has a base of 4.5 inches, a height of 6 inches, and an area of 21 square inches. The equation below can be used to d
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

b_2 =  -2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{1}{2}(4.5 + b_2) * 6 = 21

Required

Determine the value of T

\frac{1}{2}(4.5 + b_2) * 6 = 21

Multiply both sides by 2

2 * \frac{1}{2}(4.5 + b_2) * 6 = 21 * 2

(4.5 + b_2) * 6 = 42

Divide through by 6

4.5 + b_2 = 42/6``

4.5 + b_2 = 7

b_2 =  7 - 4.5

b_2 =  -2.5

Ajay analyzed two companies and has formulated tables to model each company’s growth, where x represents the age of the companie
Juliette [100K]

From year 1 to year 2, Company 1 added 6 employees (went from 6 to 12).

From year 1 to year 2, Company 2 multiplied the number of employees by 6 (went from 6 to 36).

The appropriate description is the last one ...

... company 2 because it is multiplying its number of employees by six each year while company 1 is adding 6 employees each year

_____

Multiplying by 6 each year causes the numbers to increase much faster (as you can tell by looking at the tables). Since the investment choice depends on larger numbers of employees, <em>Company 2</em> is the better choice.

Charlotte’s weekly paycheck is based on the number of hours worked during the week and on the weekend. If she works 13 hours dur
Schach [20]
X: earn per  hour during the week
y: earn per hour during the weekend

13x + 14y = 250.90
15x + 8y = 204.70

Multiply the first equation by 4 and the second equation by 7

52x + 56y = 1003.6
105x + 56y = 1432.90

Subtract the first equation from the second:

 53x = 429.30

x = 429.30/ 53
x = 8.10

Solve any of the equation for y:

15x + 8y = 204.70

y = [204.70 - 15(8.10)]/8 = 10.40

y - x = 10.40 -8.10 = 2.30

Answer: she earns $2.30 per hour more during the weekend than during the week.
