A website has no more than $15,000 to give away for a contest. They have decided to give away $1,000 twice a day every day until

they have at least $3,000 left to award as a grand prize. How many days will the contest run?

If you would like to know how many days will the contest run, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x ... the number of days
every day: 2 * $1,000 = $2,000
$15,000 - $2,000 * x = $3,000
15,000 - 2,000 * x = 3,000
15,000 - 3,000 = 2,000 * x
12,000 = 2,000 * x
x = 12,000 / 2,000
x = 6 days

The correct result would be: The contest will run for 6 days until they have at least $3,000 left to award as a grand prize.

This is a simple exercise with rates.
You just have to divide the total profit of the store, that year, per the profit of the particular store.


[3.0479×10⁸ dollars] ÷ [2.102×10⁶ dollars] = 1,45 x 10²

Kelly hiked in the woods it took her 1/14 hour to walk 1/4 mile after she snacked she walked another 1/6 mile in 1/16 hour
mariarad [96]

General Idea:

The relationship between rate(R), distance(D) and time(T) given below:

R= \frac{D}{T}

Applying the concept:

We need to make use of the formula to find Kelly's walking rate before and after her snack

Kelly \; Walking \; Rate \; before \; Snack:\\Distance \div Time = \frac{1}{4}  \div \frac{1}{14}  =  \frac{1}{4}  \times \frac{14}{1}  = \frac{14}{4}  = \frac{7}{2}  =  3 \frac{1}{2} \;   miles \; per \; hour\\\\Kelly \; Walking \; Rate \; after \; Snack:\\Distance \div Time = \frac{1}{6}  \div \frac{1}{16}  =  \frac{1}{6}  \times \frac{16}{1}  = \frac{16}{6}  = \frac{8}{3}  =  2 \frac{2}{3} \;   miles \; per \; hour\\\\

Option A isn't correct because before snack Kelly walking rate is not 4/14 miles per hour.

Option B is <u>Correct,</u> Kelly walking rate after snack is 2 2/3 miles per hour.

Option C isn't correct because it doesn't took Kelly 2 hours longer to walk 1/6 mile than it did for her to walk 1/4 mile.  It took 1/112 hour longer.

\frac{1}{14}  - \frac{1}{16}  = \frac{1 \cdot 8}{14 \cdot 8}  - \frac{1 \cdot 7}{16 \cdot 7}  =  \frac{8}{112} - \frac{7}{112}  = \frac{1}{112}

Option D isn't correct because 2 2/3 miles per hour is slower than 3 1/2 miles per hour.

Conclusion:

Option B is <u>Correct,</u> Kelly walking rate after snack is 2 2/3 miles per hour.

A. If a spacecraft was parked on Venus and needed to make a flight to Jupiter, how far would it need to travel? Show your work a
bija089 [108]
A. (Assume both planets are aligned with the sun and are on the same side of the sun.) Show your work and provide your answer in scientific notation. Jupiter = 778,500,000 km from sun. Venus = 108,200,000 km from sun.

778,500,000 – 108,200,000 = 670,300,000
It would need to travel 670,300,000 km/ 6.703 x 10 with a 8 squared km (as shown below)
10 {}^{8}


B.Mercury, Venus, and Earth are the three planets closest to the sun. Would their combined distance from the sun be greater or less than the distance from the sun to Neptune? Show your work and justify your answer. Mercury = 57,909,000 km Venus = 108,200,000 km Earth = 149,600,000 km 57,909,000 + 108,200,000 + 149,600,000 = 315,709,000 Less because 315,709,000 km is less than 4,498,000,000 km

C.If Earth was 10 times farther away from the sun than it is now, which planet would it be closest to? (Assume all the planets are aligned with the sun and are on the same side of the sun.) Compare Earth's new distance to that planet. How far apart would they be in standard notation? How far apart in scientific notation? Show your work. Earth = 149,600,000 km 149,600,000 x 10 = 1,496,000,000 Earth’s new distance = 1,496,000,000 Earth would be closest to Saturn. 1,496,000,000 – 1,429,000,000 = 67,000,000
They would be 67,000,000 km apart
Scientific notation: 6.7 x 10 with a 7 squared km (sorry I can't write this to show this figure but see below as you should write it exactly like how I typed it below followed by km)
10 {}^{7}


D. The space shuttle travels at about 28,000 km per hour. Using that information, estimate how many hours it will take the shuttle to reach Saturn from Earth. (Assume both planets are aligned with the sun and are on the same side of the sun.) Show your work. Convert your answer into scientific notation if necessary. Earth = 149,600,000 km
Saturn = 1,429,000,000 km
1,429,000,000 - 149,600,000 = 1,279,400,000
1,279,400,000 km
1,279,400,000 ÷ 28,000 = 45,692.8
Estimated hours it will take the shuttle to reach Saturn from Earth = 45,693
Scientific notation: 4.5693 x 10 with a 4 squared
(same with this one, it should be written as I have it shown below instead of how I first tried to explain it.)

A researcher is investigating whether a difference exists in the mean weight of green-striped watermelons grown on two different
Marianna [84]

Answer: The correct option is d

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard error measures how far the sample mean is from the population mean.

The formula for determining the standard error of the distribution of difference in means is expressed as

Standard error = √(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)

where

s1 = sample 1 standard deviation

s2 = sample 2 standard deviation

n1 = number of samples 1

n2 = number of samples 2

From the information given

s1 = 2 pounds

n1 = 43 pounds

s2 = 1.7 pounds

n2 = 40 pounds

Standard error = √(2²/43 + 1.7²/40)
