Write the expression that shows "3 times the sixth power of 10"

Jake scored 17 out of 25 points on a math quiz. He then scored 16 out of 20 points on a spelling quiz. On which quiz did Jake sc

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Jake scored more on the spelling quiz. 80% is more than 68% so therefore he scored more on the quiz. To find 80% and 68%, you can use a percent of proportion or divide and multiply by 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent of a score, you divide.

17/25 (division) = 0.68

0.68 is a decimal so to make it a percent you multiply by 100 = 68%

Or you can do it with fractions:

17/25 = ?/100: 68

16/20 = 0.8

Again, 0.8 times 100 = 80%

Or you can do it with fractions:

16/20 = ?/100: 80

He scored more on the spelling quiz, I hope this helps (justification on the answer).

Charlotte’s weekly paycheck is based on the number of hours worked during the week and on the weekend. If she works 13 hours dur

Gelneren [198K]

I am setting the week hourly rate to x, and the weekend to y. Here is how the equation is set up:

13x + 14y = $250.90
15x + 8y = $204.70

This is a system of equations, and we can solve it by multiplying the top equation by 4, and the bottom equation by -7. Now it equals:

52x + 56y = $1003.60
-105x - 56y = -$1432.90

Now we add these two equations together to get:

-53x = -$429.30 --> 53x = $429.30 --> (divide both sides by 53) x = 8.10. This is how much she makes per hour on a week day.

Now we can plug in our answer for x to find y. I am going to use the first equation, but you could use either.

$105.30 + 14y = $250.90. Subtract $105.30 from both sides --> 14y = $145.60 divide by 14 --> y = $10.40

Now we know that she makes $8.10 per hour on the week days, and $10.40 per hour on the weekends. Subtracting 8.1 from 10.4, we figure out that she makes $2.30 more per hour on the weekends than week days.

Is 976 -522 more or less than 400? Explain how you can tell without actually subtracting.

liq [111]

You can round 976 to 1000 and 522 to 500. So it would be
1000 - 500 = 500. The answer you would get after subtracting 976-522 would be more than 400 if you round it.

The average starting salary for graduates at a university is $25,000 with a standard deviation of $4,000. if a histogram of the

kirill115 [55]

The empirical rule says 68% of the distribution should fall within one standard deviation of the mean, so you should expect salaries between $\$25000-\$4000=\$21000$ and $\$25000+\$4000=\$29000$

One of the tallest buildings in a country is topped by a high antenna. The angle of elevation from the position of a surveyor on

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

a. distance of the surveyor to the base of the building = 2051.90 ft

b. height of the building = 1384 ft

c. Angle of elevation from the surveyor to the top of the antenna = 38.31°

d. Height of antenna = 237.08 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture above is a illustration of the described event.

a = the height of the flag

b = the height of the building

c = distance of the surveyor from the base of the building

the angle of elevation from the position of the surveyor on the ground to the top of the building = 34°

distance from her position to the top of the building = 2475 ft

distance from her position to the top of the flag = 2615 ft

(a) How far away from the base of the building is the surveyor located?

using the SOHCAHTOA principle

cos 34° = c/2475

c = 0.8290375726 × 2475

c = 2051.8679921

c = 2051.90 ft

(b) How tall is the building

The height of the building = b

sin 34° = opposite /hypotenuse

0.5591929035 = b/2475

b = 0.5591929035 × 2475

b = 1384.0024361

b = 1384.00 ft

(c) What is the angle of elevation from the surveyor to the top of the antenna?

let the angle = ∅

cos ∅ = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos ∅ = 2051.90/2615

cos ∅ = 0.784665392

∅ = cos-1 0.784665392

∅ = 38.310258303

∅ = 38.31°

(d) How tall is the antenna?

height of the antenna = a

sin 38.31° = opposite/hypotenuse

sin 38.31° = (a + b)/2615

sin 38.31° × 2615 = (a + b)

(a + b) = 0.6199159917 × 2615

(a + b) = 1621.0803182

(a + b) = 1621. 08 ft

Height of antenna = 1621. 08 - 1384.00 = 237.08031822 ft

Height of antenna = 237.08 ft
