Answer:

9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Jamal works in a city and sometimes takes a taxi to work.

The taxicabs charge $1.50 for the first \frac{1}{5} mile and $0.25 for each additional \frac{1}{5} mile.

Let Jamal can travel by taxi = x miles

the charges of x miles = 0.25x

He has $3.75 in his pocket.

So the equation to represent the distance he can travel by taxi will be

1.50 + 0.25x = 3.75

0.25x = 3.75 - 1.50

0.25x = 2.25

x = \frac{2.25}{0.25}

x = 9 miles

He can travel 9 miles by taxi.

1.50+.25x=3.75
.25x=2.25
x=9
9/5+1/5=10/5
2 miles

Alvin and Bala has 26 stickers.Alvin had 8 more stickers thab Bala.How many stickers did Bala have?​
Brilliant_brown [7]
Bala had 9 stickers

You could set this up as a equation. Because there was a total of 26 you would for sure put =26. Next you are told Alvin has 8 MORE than Bali, therefore you would be adding the unknown value of Bala by 8. This could be represented as x+8=26. Now that you have x added to 8 you need to add another x to the equation to fully represent the problem since Alvin has 8 more stickers than Bala does. The new equation would become 2x+8=26.

You must now isolate x by first subtraction 8 from both sides which will leave you with 2x=18. Then you divide on both sides by 2 and will leave you with x=9

Suppose 50 percent of the customers at Pizza Palooza order a square pizza, 70 percent order a soft drink, and 35 percent order b
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Ordering a soft drink is independent of ordering a square pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

20% more customers order a soft drink than pizza, therefore they cannot be intertwined.

Given: P(A)=0.5 & P(B)=.7

P(A∩B) =  P(A) × P(B)

=  0.5 × .7

=  0.35

P(A∪B) =  P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

=  0.5 + .7 - 0.35

=  0.85

P(AΔB) =  P(A) + P(B) - 2P(A∩B)

=  0.5 + .7 - 2×0.35

=  0.5

P(A') =  1 - P(A)

=  1 - 0.5

=  0.5

P(B') =  1 - P(B)

=  1 - .7

=  0.3

P((A∪B)') =  1 - P(A∪B)

=  1 - 0.85

=  0.15

To estimate the height of a building, a stone is dropped from the top of the building into a pool of water at ground level. The
kupik [55]

Answer:

The height of the building is 153.664 meter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided function.

s(t) = 4.9t^2 + v_0 t + s_0

Here t represents the time v₀ represents the initial velocity, s₀ represents the initial height and s(t) represents the height after t seconds.

It is given that the splash is seen 5.6 seconds after the stone is dropped.

That means after 5.6 seconds height s(t) = 0, Also the initial velocity of the stone is 0.

Substitute respective values in the above function.

0 = 4.9(5.6)^2 +5.6(0)+ s_0

0 = 4.9(31.36)+ s_0

s_0=-153.664

As height can't be a negative number so the value of s₀ is 153.664.

Hence, the height of the building is 153.664 meter.
