Alexandra keeps a record of her fixed and total expenses each month. Last month, she spent a little more than usual on variable

expenses.
fixed expenses: $1,832.76
total expenses: $4,295.82

Which equation represents Alexandria’s variable expenses for last month?

A.
v = $4,295.82 − $1,832.76
B.
v = $1,832.76 − $4,295.82
C.
v = $1,832.76 + $4,295.82
D.
v = $2,463.06 + $1,832.76
E.
v = $4,295.82 − $2,463.06

Response:

Option A

Detailed explanation:

Assuming Alexandra has documented 2 months already.

First month:

Fixed Cost: 1832.76

Total: 1832.76

Last month:

Fixed Cost:1832.76

Total: 4295.82

This means the variable expense for last month would be

4295.82-3665.52, oh no! we don't have the answer.

This contradicts our assumption.

Let's assume Alexandra has recorded only 1 month.

Last month:

Fixed Cost:1832.76

Total:4295.82

Variable = 4295.82 - 1832.76 = A

Robert was able to travel 292.0 miles in 4.000 hours and used 38 liters of gasoline. What was robert's speed in feet per second?

zzz [11052]

Robert covered a distance of 292 miles.

He took 4 hours to complete this journey.

Next, let's convert miles to feet.

1 mile equals 5280 feet.

Thus, 292 miles in feet equals 292 * 5280 = 1541760 feet.

Now, converting 4 hours into seconds.

1 hour translates to 3600 seconds.

Therefore, 4 hours equals 3600 * 4 = 14400 seconds.

The question asks for speed in feet per second.

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

Thus,

$\frac{1541760}{14400}$

is 107.067 feet per second.

Compare the values of the 2s and 5s in 55,220

Inessa [11236]

The number 55,220 has two 5s and two 2s. The 5s appear in the ten-thousands and thousands places, representing 50,000 and 5,000 respectively. The 2s occupy the hundreds and tens positions, corresponding to 200 and 20. In total, the 5s sum to 55,000, while the 2s add up to 220.

What other points are on the line of direct variation through (5, 12)? Check all that apply. (0, 0) (2.5, 6) (3, 10) (7.5, 18) (

Inessa [11236]

It is established that

A correlation between two variables, x and y, demonstrates a direct variation if it can be written in the format $y/x=k$ or $y=kx$

For this question, we have

the point $(5,12)$ lies on the direct variation line

therefore

Determine the constant of proportionality k

$y/x=k$ -------> substitute ------> $k=12/5$

The equation is

$y=\frac{12}{5}x$

Keep in mind that

If a point is located on the direct variation line

then

the point has to fulfill the direct variation equation

we will now validate each point

case A) point $(0,0)$

$x=0\ y=0$

Insert the values of x and y into the direct variation equation

$0=\frac{12}{5}*0$

$0=0$ -------> is valid

thus

the point $(0,0)$ lies on the direct variation line

case B) point $(2.5,6)$

$x=2.5\ y=6$

Insert the values of x and y into the direct variation equation

$6=\frac{12}{5}*2.5$

$6=6$ -------> is valid

thus

the point $(2.5,6)$ lies on the direct variation line

case C) point $(3,10)$

$x=3\ y=10$

Insert the values of x and y into the direct variation equation

$10=\frac{12}{5}*3$

$10=7.2$ -------> is not valid

thus

the point $(3,10)$ does not lie on the direct variation line

case D) point $(7.5,18)$

$x=7.5\ y=18$

Insert the values of x and y into the direct variation equation

$18=\frac{12}{5}*7.5$

$18=18$ -------> is valid

thus

the point $(7.5,18)$ lies on the direct variation line

case E) point $(12.5,24)$

$x=12.5\ y=24$

Insert the values of x and y into the direct variation equation

$24=\frac{12}{5}*12.5$

$18=30$ -------> is not valid

thus

the point $(12.5,24)$ does not lie on the direct variation line

case F) point $(15,36)$

$x=15\ y=36$

Insert the values of x and y into the direct variation equation

$36=\frac{12}{5}*15$

$36=36$ -------> is valid

thus

the point $(15,36)$ lies on the direct variation line

ultimately

the solution is

$(0,0)$

$(2.5,6)$

$(7.5,18)$

$(15,36)$
