Joan is hiking. She wants to cover 1,600 feet. She hikes 600 feet every 3 hours.

1 answer:

6 0

Joan's remaining distance is reduced by (600 ft)/(3 hours) = 200 ft/hour. She starts with 1600 ft remaining, so her distance remaining (y) after x hours is
.. y = -200x +1600

In order for the distance remaining to be zero, you must have
.. 0 = -200x +1600
.. 200x = 1600
.. x = 1600/200 = 8

It will take Joan 8 hours to hike 1600 ft.

The perimeter of a triangle equals 8 inches. Two of its sides are equal and each of them is 1.3 inches bigger than the third sid

mafiozo [28]

Let's call the lengths of our two types of sides <em /> $x$ and $y$ .

The two sides will that our 1.3 inches bigger than the third side will be have length x, and the length of the other side will be known as y. Thus, $x = y + 1.3$ .

Considering this, we can add our sides together and set this value equal to 8, given the information in the problem:
$(y + 1.3) + (y + 1.3) + y = 3y + 2.6 = 8$

Now, let's solve for y.
$3y + 2.6 = 8$
$3y = 5.4$
$y = 1.8$

Now, we are not done yet. We must determine the true lengths of all of our sides. Using the equation we found earlier, the length of the two bigger sides is $y + 1.3 = 1.8 + 1.3 = \boxed{3.1}$ inches and the length of our smaller side is simply $\boxed{1.8}$ inches.

To verify, we can add these sides together and check that they equal 8:
3.1 + 3.1 + 1.8 = 8 ✔

The Lynx pay their four running backs $1 million, $850,000, $750,000, and $500,000. If the team salary is $33 million a year, wh

yawa3891 [41]

The total of the running backs' salaries need to be added together first. So, $1 000 000 + $850 000 + $750 000 + $500 000 = $3 100 000. Now we divide the total number of salaries by the running back salaries: $3 100 000/$33 000 000 = 0.094 x 100 = 9.4 %.
Round off to nearest percent = 9.00 %.
