Refer to the diagram shown below.

w = 6 7/8 in = 6.875 in, the width of each device.
d = 3 1/2 in = 3.50 in, the space between teo devices.

The total space needed is
D = 4(w+d) + w
    = 5w + 4d
    = 5*6875 + 4*3.5 
D  = 48.375 in  or 48 3/8 in

Answer:  48 3/8 inches or 48.375 inches

Samantha went to a concession stand and bought three pretzels and four sodas and paid a total of $11.25 for them. Raza went to t
LenKa [72]

Answer:

No, because their respective prices are $0.75 and $2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that the price of each pretzel is x and the price of each soda is y

3x + 4y = 11.25_____ equation 1

5x + 2y = 8.25_____ equation 2

Multiply equation 2 by the figure 2 so as to have both equation sharing the same coefficient of y

10x + 4y = 16.5____ equation 1

3x + 4y = 11.25____ equation 2

Now subtract equation 2 from 1

7x = 5.25

X = 5.25/7

X = 0.75

Now substitute x = 0.75 in equation 1

10x + 4y = 16.5

10(0.75) + 4y = 16.5

7.5 + 4y = 16.5

4y = 16.5 - 7.5

4y = 9

Y = 2.25

Therefore,the cost of each pretzel is $0.75 while that of soda is $2.25

The following chart shows a store?s records of coat sales over two years. 2 circle graphs. A circle graph titled 2006. Top coats
Mkey [24]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is A. 16.5%</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly and to calculate the trend:

                   2006      2007  Trend

Top Coats    297        223       -24.92%

Parkas          210        210         + 0%  

Jackets         213        285        +33.80%

Raincoats      137        259        +89.05

Trench coats 103       127         +23.30%

Total               960     1,104        +15%

2. If the trend shown in these graphs stays constant, what percent of the market will parkas occupy in 2008?

Let's calculate the percent of the market occupied by parkas.

In 2006 = 210/960 = 21.88%

In 2007 = 210/1,104 = 19.02%

In 2008 = 210/1,270 = 16.54% (210 + 0 = 210; 1,104 + 15% = 1,270)

<u>The correct answer is A. 16.5%</u>

Kelvin and Lewie each design surveys in order to determine the average number of people who buy food at the mall. Kelvin surveys
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Lewie Survey produces less valid result.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

1. Kelvin surveys every other person leaving the food area.

2. Lewie surveys every fifth person leaving the mall's main entrance.

Therefore,

Kelvin will able to produce valid result as he is surveying every person who is leaving food court.

Means,

There are high chances that would have bought food from the court.

Whereas,

Lewie is surveying every fifth person leaving the the mall's entrance.

Therefore,

Here probability to produce valid result is less as they may have not buy food or they may visited other shops.

So, Lewie survey will produce less valid result.

After years of maintaining a steady population of 32,000, the population of a town begins to grow exponentially. After 1 year an
galben [10]

Answer:

y=32000(1+0.08)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential growth function is y=a(1+r)^x

Where 'a' is the initial population

r is the rate of growth and x is the time period in years

a steady population of 32,000. So initial population is 32,000

an increase of 8% per year. the rate of increase is 8% that is 0.08

a= 32000 and r= 0.08

Plug in all the values in the general equation

y=a(1+r)^x

y=32000(1+0.08)^x

y=32000(1+0.08)^x
