Answer:

0.5r

Step-by-step explanation:

If Jerry took half the time Macy did then that means Macy took twice as long as Jerry. If Jerry’s speed was r then Macy’s speed is 0.5r or half the speed of Jerry. This will mean Macy goes half as slow and takes twice as long to get there.

1. Three friends pooled their money to purchase a new game system that costs $298. One person
iragen [17]

Answer:

First person: $107

Second person: $98

Third person: $93

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "f" the amount of money (in dollars) that the first person contributed to the purchase, "s" the amount of money (in dollars) that the second person contributed to the purchase and "t" the amount of money (in dollars) that the third person contributed to the purchase.

With the information given in the exercise, you can set up the following equations:

Equation 1 → f+s+t=298

Equation 2 → s=f-9

Equation 3 → t=f-14

Substitute the Equations 2 and 3 into the Equation 1 and then solve for "f":

f+(f-9)+(f-14)=298\\\\3f-23=298\\\\f=\frac{321}{3}\\\\f=107

Finally, substitute the value of "f" into the Equation 2 and then into the Equation 3, in order to find the values of "s" and "t".

Therefore, you get:

s=107-9\\\\s=98\\\\\\t=107-14\\\\t=93

Sammy and Pippa's teacher gives them a homework question to solve. She tells them to plot the points A(5, -1), B(9, 4), C(15, 1)
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Pippa

Step-by-step explanation:

A square has

  • parallel opposite sides
  • perpendicular adjacent sides
  • perpendicular diagonals

A rhombus has  

  • parallel opposite sides
  • non-perpendicular adjacent sides
  • perpendicular diagonals

Thus, we can identify the shape by comparing the slopes of the adjacent sides.

1. Draw the shape

See the graph below

2. Calculate the slope of AB

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (4 - (-1))/(9 - 5) = (4 + 1)/4 = 5/4

3. Calculate the slope of BC

If BC⟂AP, its slope should be -4/5 .

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (1 - 4)/(15 - 9) =-3/6 = -1/2

½ ≠ -⅘

The two lines are not perpendicular.

Pippa is right. The shape is a rhombus.

Reactant A can participate in both of these reactions:
user100 [1]
The activation energy is the amount of energy required to initiate a certain reaction. The activation energy may considered as an "energy barrier" that has to be overcome in order for a reaction to begin. If a reaction has a lower activation energy, then it will occur more easily and at a faster rate than a reaction with a higher activation energy. Therefore, the reason that reaction 1 is faster than reaction 2 is because it has a lower activation energy than reaction 2.

In a standard game of pool, there are 15 balls labeled 1 through 15. a) In how many ways can the 15 balls be ordered? (5 points)
katovenus [111]

Answer:

<h2>a) 1.308*10¹² ways</h2><h2>b) 455 way</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If  there are 15 balls labeled 1 through 15 in a standard football game, the order of arrangement of the 15 balls can be done in 15! ways.

15! = 15*14*13*12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2

15! = 1.308*10¹² ways

b)  If 3 of the 15 balls are to be chosen if order does not matter, this can be done in 15C3 number of ways. Since we are selecting some balls out of the total number of balls, we will use the concept of combination.

Using the combination formula nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!

15C3 = 15!/(15-3)!3!

15C3 = 15!/12!3!

15C3 = 15*14*13*12!/12!*6

15C3 = 15*14*13/6

15C3 = 455 ways
