Last month Grace worked, and was paid for, a total of x hours. Some of the hours were on the day shift and the remainder of the hours were on the night shift. Her hourly pay is 20% higher for the night shift than for the day shift. How many hours did Grace work on the day shift last month

Answers

Answer 1

Say her hourly pay was $p for the day shift and $1.2p for the night shift.

(1) x = 55. Clearly insufficient: we need to know how these 55 hours are split between the day shift hours and the night shift hour.

(2) Grace's gross pay for the hours she worked on day shift last month was exactly 50% of her total gross pay for last month. Not sufficient.

(1)+(2) Say Grace worked h hours on the day shift and 55-h hours on the night shift. Thus, her pay for the the hours she worked on day shift is $ph and the total gross pay is $ph+(55-h)*1.2p. From (2) we have that ph=0.5(ph+(55-h)*1.2p) --> reduce by p: h=0.5(h+(55-h)*1.2). We have 1 variable, so we can solve for it. Sufficient.

Answer: C.

Find the coordinates of the image of M(−1, 5) after the translation (x, y)→(x+3, y−2).

Answers

Answer:

To find a translation image of a shape, you can use the following rule or formula. Suppose you want to translate or slide point P a units horizontally and b units vertically. Then, change the x-values and y-values of the coordinates of P. The points of the triangle of are A(-3, 1), B(-4, 3), and C(-2, 4).

Translation involves moving a point on a coordinate geometry from one position to another position.

Given that:

[tex]M = (-1,5)[/tex] --- point

[tex](x,y) \to (x + 3, y - 2)[/tex] --- translation rule

Substitute -1 for x and 5 for y in [tex](x,y) \to (x + 3, y - 2)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex](-1,5) \to (-1 + 3, 5 - 2)[/tex]

[tex](-1,5) \to (2, 3)[/tex]

This means that:

[tex]M' = (2, 3)[/tex]

Hence, the image of M after translation is [tex](2, 3)[/tex]

Write the quadratic equation whose roots are −3 and 2, and whose leading coefficient is 4.

Answers

Answer:

f(x) = 4(x+3)(x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic function is

f(x) = a(x-b1)(x-b2)  where a is a coefficient and b1 and b2 are the zeros

f(x) = a(x- -3)(x-2)

f(x) = a(x+3)(x-2)

The leading coefficient is a and we know a =4

f(x) = 4(x+3)(x-2)

In XYZ, what is the cosine ratio of X?

Answers

Answer:

c) 12/15 = 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

imagine we mirror the triangle up, so that Z is on top.

then you can clearly see that 6 is cos(X) times r (and r is then 7.5).

XY is sin(X)×7.5

and again, 7.5 is r (the line making the X angle).

so, the cosine ratio of X is

6 = cos(X)×7.5

cos(X) = 6/7.5 or then 12/15. or simplified 4/5.

Ratio of number of notebooks to its price

= 4:3 (because we reduced it to the simplest form by dividing both numerator and denominator by 3)

Let the cost of 8 notebooks be x.

Then, 8:x = 4:3

=> (8×3)/4 = x

=> 24/4 = x

Given an arithmetic progression 17,13,9,..... find the number of terms required so that its sum is - 33 .

Answers

Answer:

11 terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the arithmetic sequence:

17, 13, 9, ...

And we want to find the number of terms required such that the sum is -33.

Recall that the sum of an arithmetic series is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle S = \frac{k}{2}\left( a + x_k\right)[/tex]

Where k is the number of terms, a is the first term, and x_k is the last term.

The desired sum is -33. The first term is 17 as well. Thus:

[tex]\displaystyle (-33) = \frac{k}{2} \left( (17) +x_k\right)[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]-66 = k(17 + x_k)[/tex]

We can write a direct formula to find the last term x_k. The direct formula of an arithmetic sequence has the form:

[tex]x_ n = a + d(n-1)[/tex]

Where a is the initial term and d is the common difference.

The initial term is 17 and the common difference is -4. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle x_n = 17 - 4(n-1)[/tex]

Then the last term is given by:

[tex]x_k = 17 - 4(k-1)[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle -66 = k\left( 17 + \left( 17 - 4(k-1)\right)\right)[/tex]

Solve for k:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} -66 &= k(17 + (17 - 4k + 4)) \\ -66 &= k(38 -4k) \\ -66 &= -4k^2 + 38k \\ 4k^2 -38k -66 &= 0 \\ 2k^2 - 19k -33 &= 0 \\ (k-11)(2k+3) &= 0 \\ k-11&= 0 \text{ or } 2k+3 = 0 \\ \\ k &= 11 \text{ or } k = -\frac{3}{2}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Since we cannot have a negative amount of terms, we can ignore the second solution.

Therefore, the given sequence must have 11 terms such that it sums to -33.

Answer:

The volume of the irregular figure would be 102 [tex]cm^3[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

If you wish to make the process of calculating the volume easier, you can picture the irregular figure as two rectangular prisms: the large one on the bottom, and the smaller one appearing to protrude from the prism below it. Using this method, you only need to find the volumes of the two rectangular prisms and add the values together to get the volume for the irregular figure. The formula used to find the volume of a rectangular prism is [tex]l*w*h[/tex], where [tex]l[/tex], [tex]w[/tex], and [tex]h[/tex], represents the length, width, and height of the rectangular prism respectively. Using the formula above, the volume of the larger rectangular prism would be [tex]6*3*5=30*3=90 cm^3[/tex], and the volume of the smaller rectangular prism would be [tex]3*2*2=6*2=12 cm^3[/tex]. So the volume of the entire irregular figure would be [tex]90+12=102 cm^3[/tex].

Answer:

102

Step-by-step explanation:

Large rectangle:

6 × 3 × 5 = 18 × 5 = 90

Small rectangle:

7 - 5 = 2

3 × 2 × 2 = 6 × 2 = 12

90 + 12 = 102

Answer:

A,53.37°

360-306.63=53.37

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

a whole circle has 360 degrees (one time all around).

so, going from J over M to L is "using" already 306.63 degrees of that. going then from L to J just finishes the full trip of going one time around the whole circle.

so, LJ is just the missing "piece" to 360 degrees.

LJ = 360 - 306.63 = 53.37

How many geckos does the pet store have?

Answers

Answer:

The ratio of geckos to lizards is 1:3

So, that means 1/(3+1) of the animals are geckos.

1/4 of the reptiles are geckos.

And, there are 20 geckos.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Ratios are used to show the relationship between related quantities. The number of geckos in the pet store is 20.

Given that:

[tex]Total = 80[/tex]

[tex]Gecko : Anole = 1 :3[/tex]

The number of geckos (n) in the store is calculated as follows:

[tex]n = \frac{Gecko}{Gecko + Anole} \times Total[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]n = \frac{1}{1+ 3} \times 80[/tex]

[tex]n = \frac{1}{4} \times 80[/tex]

[tex]n = 20[/tex]

Hence, there are 20 geckos in the store

Each coffee pot hold 6 cups of coffee we sell 10 cups of coffee every fifteen minutes how many pots of coffee do I need to make in an hour?

Answers

Answer:

7 pots of coffee (If you want to be precise its 6 2/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

So basically you need 10 cups of coffe in fifteen minutes, so 60/15=4 then time 10. so 40 is how much coffee you need in a hour, but we are solving the pot so 40/6= 6 2/3. but it says how many pots so we round it up so its 7. (Unless you wanna be precise)

1 hour=60 minutes
every 15 min, 10 sold
60/15=4
4(10)=40 sold in 1 hour
1 pots=6 cups
1/x=6/40
x=6.6
pots must be integer
x=7
number of pots of coffee is 7
