Answer: 12.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation will be:

1:80

?:1000

To find ? (scale representation of the lake), perform a cross-multiplication of the above equation. It will be calculated as 1000 multiplied by 1 divided by 80, resulting in 12.5 cm.

PIT_PIT [3949]

Answer:

(C) 10% to 70%(

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that at least 40% of the students are learning German, the upper limit of those who might be enrolled in English but not in German is 60%. However, since a minimum of 70% study English, it leads to the conclusion that at least 10% of students must be taking both German and English.

If we consider that at least 30% of students are learning Italian, and assuming that no student is studying all three languages simultaneously, then there is a maximum of 70% of students who could potentially be registered in both English and German.

This means the possible percentage for students enrolled in both English and German ranges from 10% to 70%

A fox sees a rabbit 35 feet away and starts chasing it. As soon as the fox starts moving the rabbit sees it and starts running a
zzz [4035]

The fox’s speed needs to exceed that of the rabbit to successfully catch up. Thus, the required speed for the fox is expressed as 35/t + 40.

The distance separating the rabbit from the fox is 35 feet.

The speed of the rabbit is 40 feet per second.

Fox's speed = F

To calculate a precise speed for the fox, a specific time for the pursuit must be provided.

Let’s denote the time as t.

Recall that:

Speed = distance / time

Distance = speed × time

The distance the rabbit moves away from the fox after time t will be:

35 + (40 × t) = 35 + 40t

The distance traveled by the fox after time t is: fox speed × t = F × t.

To catch the rabbit, both the fox and rabbit must cover the same distance:

Rabbit's distance at time t equals Fox's distance at that time.

35 + 40t = Ft

To determine F, the fox's speed:

Dividing both sides by t yields:

(35 + 40t) / t = Ft/t

35/t + 40 = F

<pThus, the speed of the fox should be: 35/t + 40

To find out the exact speed of the fox, a specific time value must be provided.

The Freeman family is barbecuing veggie burgers, corn cobs, and mushroom caps in their local park. If 3/8 of the items barbecued
AnnZ [3900]

Answer:

7/24

Step-by-step explanation:

All the items being grilled collectively equal 1.

Each item represents a fractional portion of 1.

Combine 3/8 and 1/3, then subtract that sum from 1.

3/8 + 1/3 = 9/24 + 8/24 = 17/24

This means that veggie burgers and corn contribute to 17/24 of the total.

To determine the fraction accounted for by mushrooms, we take 1 and subtract 17/24.

1 - 17/24 = 24/24 - 17/24 = 7/24.

Final answer: 7/24

Starting from 300 feet away, a car drives toward you. It then passes by you at a speed of 48 feet per second. The distance dd (i
Svet_ta [4341]
To this problem, the solution is 5 seconds.

In this scenario, you have the initial distance of 300 feet, a car speed of 48 feet per second, and a final distance of 60 feet. You also have the equation for calculating the distance, which should simplify the problem. You're asked to find out when the distance equals 60 feet. Thus, the calculation would be:

distance= 300-48t
60 = 300ft - 48t
48t = 300 - 60 = 240
t = 5

Claire is a manager at a toy packaging company. The company packs 80 boxes of toys every hour for the first 3 hours of the day.
Svet_ta [4341]

Response:

Refer to the figure attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each portion is treated as a function.

Let x represent the hours worked in a day

The company packs 80 boxes of toys each hour during the first three hours. Thus, y₁ = 80x, for x ∈ [0,3]

After three hours, the total boxes packed = 80 * 3 = 240

They pause packaging for two hours for a training session. Therefore, y₂ = 240, for x ∈ [3,5]

Next, for the subsequent four hours, they pack 20 boxes of toys hourly

y₃ = 20x + c, for x ∈ [5,9]

To determine c, equate y₂ and y₃ at x = 5

∴ 240 = 20 * 5 + c

∴ c = 240 - 20 * 5 = 240 - 100 = 140

∴ y₃ = 20x + 140, for x ∈ [5,9]

Consequently,

y₁ = 80x, for x ∈ [0,3]

y₂ = 240, for x ∈ [3,5]

y₃ = 20x + 140, for x ∈ [5,9]

The graph plotting the piecewise function that depicts the described situation is shown in the attached illustration.
