Let r = usual driving rate
let t = usual driving time
We need to figure out t

The distance she covers in her usual time at her usual rate is r*t

The distance she covers in her new time at her new rate is:
(1+t)*((2/3)r)

Set this equal to each other and solve for t.

rt = (2/3)r + (2/3)rt
(1/3)rt = (2/3)r
(1/3)t = (2/3)
t = 2

So her usual time is 2 hours. (There's probably a faster way to do this)

E varies directly with the square root of C. If E=40 when C=25, find: C when E = 10.4
sukhopar [10]

Answer: C = 1.69

Step-by-step explanation:

E is proportional to √C

To remove proportionality, introduce a constant (k).

E = k × √C

From question,

E = 40 and C = 25

So,

40 = k ×√25

40 = k × 5

k = 8

Now,

C = ?

E = 10.4

k = 8

E = k × √C

10.4 = 8 × √C

10.4 / 8 = √C

( 10.4 / 8 ) ^ 2 = C

C = 1.69

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

a) the cost of one medium drink be $3.80

b) the cost of a large popcorn be $6.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of one medium drink be $x

and the cost of a large popcorn be $y

According to question,

A couple bought 2 medium drinks and a large popcorn for $13.85.

2x + y = 13.85      ..............(1)

A family bought 3 medium drinks and 2 large popcorn for a total of $23.90

3x + 2y = 23.90      ..............(2)

Using Elimination method to solve the system of equation,

Multiply equation (1) by 2 , we get,

4x + 2y = 27.70      ..............(3)

Now, subtract equation (2) from (3), we get,

4x + 2y-(3x + 2y) = 27.70 - 23.90

4x + 2y-3x - 2y = 3.80

4x -3x = 3.80

x = 3.80

Substitute, x = 3.8 in (1) ,

2(3.80) + y = 13.85  

7.60 +y = 13.85

y = 6.25

Therefore, the cost of one medium drink be $3.80

and the cost of a large popcorn be $6.25

100 POINTS AND BRAINLIYEST!!!
Helga [31]

See explanations below

Step-by-step explanation:

Chanel

(i) 90° counterclockwise and then dilation by a factor of 1/2

Trapezoid PQRS is given as :

P(6,-4) -------P'(4,6)

Q(2,-2)------Q'(2,2)

R(2,-6)-------R'(6,2)

S(6,-6)-------S'(6,6)

The transformation switches the position of (x,y) to and adds a -ve sign to the original y value

B. The new coordinates are : P'(4,6), Q'(2,2),R'(6,2) and S'(6,6)

The  rule for rotation 90° counterclockwise about the origin is (x,y)⇒(-y,x)

The rule for dilation with scale factor of 1/2 is (x,y)------(1/2x,1/2y)

P'(4,6) -----P''(2,3)

Q'(2,2)-----Q''(1,1)

R'(6,2)-----R''(3,1)

S'( 6,6)-----S''(3,3)

The dilation reduces the coordinates by 1/2

Preston

E. (i)Reflection over x-axis where the rule is : (x,y)----(x,-y)

(ii)Dilation by scale factor of 1/2 the rule is : (x,y)---(1/2x, 1/2y)

Applying reflection over x-axis rule;

P(6,-4) -----P'(6,4)

Q(2,-2)-----Q'(2,2)

R(2,-6)------R'(2,6)

S(6,-6)------S'(6,6)

The coordinates have changed in that a negative sign is added to the y-axis coordinate.

F. P'(6,4), Q'(2,2), R'(2,6) and S'(6,6)

G. Applying the dilation by scale factor of 1/2

P'(6,4)-------P''(3,2)

Q'(2,2)------Q''(1,1)

R'(2,6)------R''(1,3)

S'(6,6)------S''(3,3)

The coordinates of P'Q'R'S are divide by 2 to give coordinates of P''Q''R''S''

Comparing the answers to the final figure given

K(3,2)

L(1,1)

M(1,3)

N(3,3)

Preston is correct because his sequence proves trapezoid PQRS is similar to trapezoid KLMN.
