Alyssa is jogging near Central Park. She runs along 65th Street for about 0.19 miles, turns right and runs along Central Park We

st for about 0.28 miles. She then turns right again and runs along Broadway until she reaches her starting point. How long is her total run to the nearest hundredth of a mile?

Answer:

about 0.81 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Alyssa's route can be considered a right triangle with legs of length 19 and 28 (hundredths). The Pythagorean theorem tells us the hypotenuse (x) will satisfy ...

x^2 = 19^2 +28^2

x^2 = 1145

x = √1145 ≈ 34 . . . . hundredths of a mile

Then Alyssa's total route is ...

0.19 + 0.28 + 0.34 = 0.81 . . . . miles

29) Adam’s sister wants to watch her intake of fat per day. Here is a guideline of the recommended daily allowances. Typical val

ziro4ka [17]

Basically all the information in this problem is useless. They included all those numbers to confuse you. If you read throughly you can see that all you need to know is that Adam's sister can only have 70 grams of fat each day and that her dinner will have 48 grams of fat.

To figure this out I use this formula all the time to figure out percentages.
is/of=x/100
Your trying to figure out what is 48 percent of 70 because that's how much Adam's sister is going to eat at dinner. So your is would be 48 and your of is 70. When you substitute those numbers your formula becomes 48/70=x/100. Now you cross multiply and get 70x=4800.All that's left is to divide 70 on both sides. Which gives you 68.57.The final answer is 69 percent.

The population p of a small community on the outskirts of a city grows rapidly over a 20-year period: t05101520p1002004509502000

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

The population of the small community, 5 years into the future, after the initial 20-year period = 4268.

Step-by-step explanation:

t | 0 | 5 | 10 | 15 | 20

p | 100 | 200 | 450 | 950 | 2000

The exponential function will look like

p = aeᵏᵗ

where a and k are constants.

Take the natural logarithms of both sides

In p = In aeᵏᵗ

In p = In a + In eᵏᵗ

In p = In a + kt

In p = kt + In a.

We then use linear regression to fit the data of In p against t to obtain k and In a.

t | 0 | 5 | 10 | 15 | 20

p | 100 | 200 | 450 | 950 | 2000

In p | 4.605 | 5.298 | 6.109 | 6.856 | 7.601

In p = kt + In a.

y = mx + b

m = k and b = In a

Performing a linear regression analysis on the now-linear relationship between In p and t and also plotting a graph of the variables.

The regression equation obtained is

y = 0.151x + 4.584

The first attached image shows the equations necessary for the estimation of the linear regression parameters.

The second attached image shows the use of regression calculator and the plot of the function In p versus t.

Comparing

y = 0.151x + 4.584

With

In p = kt + In a.

y = In p

k = 0.151

x = t

In a = 4.584

a = 97.905

The exponential function relating p and t,

p = aeᵏᵗ now becomes

p = 97.905 e⁰•¹⁵¹ᵗ

So, to predict the population 5 years into the future, that is 5 years after the 20 year period.

we need p at t=25 years.

0.151 × 25 = 3.775

p(t=25) = 97.905 e³•⁷⁷⁵ = 4268.41 = 4268.

Hope this Helps!!!

There are 12 inches in 1 foot and 5,280 feet in 1 mile. Is Elena ran 2-1/2 miles how many inches is that ?

puteri [66]

Answer:

158400 inches is 2 1/2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

2.5* 5280 because 2.5 miles is 13200 feet.

13200*12 because 13200 feet is 158400 inches.

The answer would be 158400 inches.

Please mark as brainliest! Hope this helps! If you need anymore help just ask! :D

Toy train A crosses a pole after every 24seconds. Toy train B crosses the pole after every 30 seconds and toy train C crosses th

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer: 6 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, Toy train A crosses a pole after every 24seconds while Toy train B crosses the pole after every 30 seconds and then toy train C crosses the pole after every 36 seconds. We are going to solve this by finding their lowest common multiple (LCM).

24 = 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168, 192, 216, 240, 264, 288, 312, 336, 360.

30 = 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, 300, 360, 390

36 = 36, 72, 108, 144, 180, 216, 252, 288, 324, 360.

We can see that the lowest common multiple of 24, 30 and 36 is 360.

Since 60 seconds make 1 minute, this will be converted to minutes.

= 360/60

= 6 minutes.

They all cross the pole together after 6 minutes.
