Answer:

$240.63

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the amount of tax by the rate to get the cost of the item.

19.25÷ .08= 240.63

Two vehicles are driving along a straight roadway at a constant speed. At a certain point in time, a car is 1.2 miles away from
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The expression for the total distance between the car and the landmark in terms of the number of hours spent driving is given as follows;

1.2 = 65 × t

Where t = 1.2/65 = 0.0185 h = 66.46 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

Distance, d between car and landmark = 1.2 miles

Speed of car = 65 miles/hr

Distance between truck and landmark = 0.7 miles

Speed of car = 55 miles/hr

The expression for the total distance between the car and the landmark as a function of time t is given as follows;

Distance, d = Speed, v × Time, t

Therefore, the expression for the total distance between the car and the landmark in terms of the number of hours spent driving is given as follows;

1.2 = 65 × t

Where t = 1.2/65 = 0.0185 h = 66.46 seconds.

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.
<span> 
it consists of a rectangle, dimensions  L = 4ft and W = 3ft = Ar = 4ft x 3ft = 12 ft^2

</span>then, you have one half of the area of the circle that has diameter  R = 3ft - radius will be r = 1.5ft the area of that half will be:

Ac = r^2 \pi/ 2
= (1.5 ft)^2 x 3.14 / 2
= 2.25 ft^2 x 3.4/2 
= 7.065 ft^2/ 2 
= 3.5325ft^2

A = Ar + Ac
A = 12ft^2 + 3.5325ft^2
A = 15.5325ft^2

<span>At the rate of $2 per square foot, the cost will be: 
$ 15.5325*2 = 31.07 </span>

Simplify 5 square root of 11 end root minus 12 square root of 11 end root minus 2 square root of 11. negative 33 square root of
Alla [95]
As long as your indexes are the same (which they are; they are all square roots) and you radicands are the same (which they are; they are all 11), then you can add or subtract.  The rules for adding and subtracting radicals are more picky than multiplying or dividing.  Just like adding fractions or combining like terms.  Since all the square roots are the same we only have to worry about the numbers outside.  In fact, it may help to factor out the sqrt 11: (5-12-2) \sqrt{11}.  The numbers subtract to give you -9.  Therefore, the simplification is -9 \sqrt{11}
