I will designate the hourly rate for weekdays as x and for weekends as y. The equations are arranged as follows:
13x + 14y = $250.90
15x + 8y = $204.70
This gives us a system of equations which can be solved by multiplying the first equation by 4 and the second by -7. This leads to:
52x + 56y = $1003.60
-105x - 56y = -$1432.90
By summing these two equations, we arrive at:
-53x = -$429.30 --> 53x = $429.30 --> (dividing both sides by 53) x = 8.10. This represents her hourly wage on weekdays.
Substituting our value for x allows us to determine y. I will utilize the first equation, but either could work.
$105.30 + 14y = $250.90. To isolate y, subtract $105.30 from both sides --> 14y = $145.60 divide by 14 --> y = $10.40
Thus, we find that her earnings are $8.10 per hour on weekdays and $10.40 per hour on weekends. The difference shows she earns $2.30 more on weekends than on weekdays.
(a) For E based on d, the equation is E = 6500 - 50d
(b) After 30 days, the remaining excess will be 5000.
To calculate the mean absolute deviation of
1,2,3,4,5,6,7
, we start by finding the mean;
(1+2+3+4+5+6+7) =28/7
= 4
. Next, we determine the absolute differences of each data point from the mean (x-μ)
= -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3
. The absolute values are 3,2,1,0,1,2,3
. Now we compute the mean of these absolute differences,
3+2+1+0+1+2+3 = 12
= 12/7
= 1.7143
. Thus, the mean is 4, and the Mean absolute deviation comes out to be 1.7143
Answer:
120*2.75*60/5280
= 3.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Considering James takes 120 steps in a minute, with 60 minutes in an hour and a mile consisting of 5,280 feet, we can establish his walking pace. By multiplying his steps per minute by the distance of each step (120 * 2.75), we determine the distance he covers in one minute. This value is then multiplied by 60 to account for the total hour. Finally, the total distance is divided by the feet in a mile (5,280), which results in a speed of 3.75 miles per hour. Thus, the calculation becomes 120*2.75*60/5280
Answer: You would need 40 bushels of seed to plant 30 acres of wheat.
Step-by-step explanation:
<pTypically, 1 1/3 bushels of seed are necessary to cultivate 1 acre of wheat. In improper fraction form, 1 1/3 bushels becomes 4/3 bushels.
Let x denote the bushels of seed required for 30 acres. Thus, we have
4/3 bushels = 1 acre
x = 30 acres
Cross multiplying gives us
x × 1 = 4/3 × 30
x = 40 bushels of seed
