7
10
seven tenths
ten sevenths


I think the answer is tenth sevenths but im not sure! Please Help ASAP

Answers

Answer 1
Ten sevenths. Hope this helps
Answer 2

Answer: ten sevenths

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Time taken by Jennifer to clean her room [tex]t_1= 2 \text[ hours}[/tex]

Time taken by John to clean same room [tex]t_2= 5\text[ hours}[/tex]

If they work together to clean the room , then the total time taken by them is given by :-

[tex]\dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{t_1}+\dfrac{1}{t_2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{5+2}{10}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{7}{10}\\\\\Rightarrow\ t=\dfrac{10}{7}\text{ hours}[/tex]

Nicole Tobin receives a salary of $250 per week plus a commission of 15% on all sales over $1500. Find her earnings during a week in which sales totaled $3000.

Answers

$700

$3000 x 15% = $450

$450 + $250 = $700

Final answer:

To calculate Nicole Tobin's earnings for a week in which her sales totaled $3000, we first determine the total sales eligible for commission and then calculate 15% commission on that amount. Adding the resulting commission to her weekly salary of $250 gives us Nicole's total earnings for the week, which are $475.

Explanation:

Nicole Tobin receives a salary of $250 per week plus a commission of 15% on all sales over $1500. To calculate her earnings during a week in which her sales totaled $3000, we need to find out the commission on the sales exceeding $1500 and then add it to her weekly salary.

First, we calculate the amount eligible for commission:

Sales = $3000

Threshold for commission = $1500

Eligible amount for commission = Total sales - Threshold for commission = $3000 - $1500 = $1500

Next, we calculate the commission:

Commission rate = 15%

Commission = Eligible amount for commission × Commission rate = $1500 × 0.15 = $225

Finally, we find Nicole's total earnings:

Weekly salary = $250

Total earnings = Weekly salary + Commission = $250 + $225 = $475

Nicole's earnings for the week are $475.

Write the linear inequality shown in the graph. The gray area represents the shaded region

sub and find b
2 = -3(1) + b
2 = -3 + b
2 + 3 = b
5 = b

equation is : y = -3x + 5.......u have a solid line, so there is an equal sign in the problem...it is shaded below the line, so it is less then.

ur inequality is : y < = -3x + 5

The inequality from the given graph is y≤-3x+5.

What are inequalities?

Inequalities are the mathematical expressions in which both sides are not equal. In inequality, unlike in equations, we compare two values. The equal sign in between is replaced by less than (or less than or equal to), greater than (or greater than or equal to), or not equal to sign.

From the graph, the coordinate points are (2, -1) and (1, 2).

Here, slope (m)=(2+1)/(1-2)

m=-3

Substitute m=-3 and (x, y)=(2, -1) in y=mx+c, we get

-1=-3(2)+c

-1=-6+c

c=5

Substitute m=-3 and c=5 in y=mx+c, we get

y=-3x+5

So, the inequality is y≤-3x+5

Therefore, the inequality is y≤-3x+5.

Given the functions:

[tex](f \cdot g)(2) = f(2) \cdot g(2)[/tex]         ....[1]

Substitute the value of x = 2 in f(x) and g(x) we have;

no because the maximum amount for sin and cos is 1.if alpha is 90 and beta is 0 the answer is 7 so it's not right.

No, it's not possible

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that for various values of x , [tex]-1\leq \sin x\leq 1[/tex]

and [tex]-1\leq \cos x \leq 1[/tex]

For values of [tex]\alpha[/tex], [tex]-1\leq \sin \alpha\leq 1[/tex]

On multiplying all sides by 3, we get

[tex]-3\leq 3\sin \alpha\leq 3[/tex]

For values of [tex]\beta[/tex], [tex]-1\leq\cos \beta\leq 1[/tex]

On multiplying all sides  by 4, we get

On adding all sides of [tex]-3\leq 3\sin \alpha\leq 3\,\,,\,\,-4\leq 4\cos \beta\leq 4[/tex] , we get

[tex]-3-4\leq 3\sin \alpha+ 4\cos \beta\leq 3+4\\-7\leq 3\sin \alpha+ 4\cos \beta\leq 7[/tex]

Therefore, maximum value of [tex]3\sin \alpha+ 4\cos \beta[/tex] is 7.

Answers

First of all, move the known term (-9) at the left of the equal with changed sign.

5z = 36+9

5z = 45

Divide both terms by 5

5z/5 = 45/5

z = 9
5z - 9 = 36

add 9 to both sides

5z - 9 + 9 = 36 + 9

5z = 45

divide both sides by 5

5z / 5 = 45 / 5

z = 9

Derek owns a landscape business. He charges a fixed fee of $30 plus $1 per 1,000 square feet of lawn mowed. Derek's earnings (in dollars) in the past five weeks are {204, 344, 450, 482, 504}. To find the corresponding square footage of lawn mowed, construct a function that models the total area of lawn that Derek mows based on his earnings. Based on Derek's earnings, the corresponding square footage of the lawns he mowed in the past five weeks is

Answers

Assume Derek mows an area of 1,000x square feet.

then Derek earns 30 $+x $ =30+x ($)


Assume Derek earns y dollars, then 

y= 30+x

to find x, the 1,000 sq feet area Derek mowed, we isolate x, that is we write x in terms of y, his earnings:

y= 30+x

x = y-30

Thus, the function A, which gives the area mowed in terms of the earnings y is :

x= A(y) = y-30

A(204)=204-30=174
A(344)=344-30=314
A(450)=450-30=420
A(482)=482-30=452
A(504)=504-30=474

Thus Derek earned  204, 344, 450, 482, 504 dollars for mowing correspondingly  
174,000;  314,000;  420,000;  452,000 ; 474,000 square feet.



Answer: A(y) = y-30, is the function which gives the 1,000y square feet area mowed when earning y dollars.



Remark:

or A(x)=x-30, since x or y is a 'dummy variable', it doesn't make any difference in describing the function.

Which of the following numbers has a value that is between 10% and 1/9? (a) 0.151 (b) 0.112 (c) 0.108 (d) 0.019

Answers

First you have to change each one into a decimal.

10% = 0.10
1/9 = 0.11

So the answer has to be between 0.10 and 0.11.

A is more than 0.11.
B is more than 0.11.
C is between 0.10 and 0.11.
D is less than 0.10.

The answer is C. 0.108.
Final answer:

Among the given options, (c) 0.108 is the only number that lies between 0.10 (which is the decimal equivalent of 10%) and 0.111 (which is approximate decimal equivalent of 1/9).

Explanation:

To answer the question "Which of the following numbers has a value that is between 10% and 1/9?", we first need to convert 10% and 1/9 into decimal form. 10% is equivalent to 0.10, and 1/9 is approximately 0.111. We are therefore looking for a number between 0.10 and 0.111.

Reviewing the options, (a) 0.151, (b) 0.112, (c) 0.108, and (d) 0.019, we see that only (c) 0.108 fits because it falls between 0.10 and 0.111.

Therefore, the correct answer is (c) 0.108.
