Gavin likes biking. He never misses a chance to go for a ride when the weather is nice. This week his goal is to bike about 65 total miles over four days. Each day, he wants to ride 1.5 times as far as he rode the day before. How far should he ride on each of the four days to reach his goal?

Question 1
To solve this problem, first you need to write the expressions for the distance Gavin needs to bike each day. Then, relate these expressions to create an equation that represents Gavin’s situation.

Part A
If x is the number of miles Gavin bikes on the first day, write an expression for the distance he should bike on each of the following three days.

Answers

Answer 1

The common ratio of 1.5 by which the distance Gavin rides on each subsequent day of 1.5 indicates;

Part A; Day 1; x, Day 2; 1.5·x, Day 3; 1.5²·x, Day 4; 1.5³·x

Part B; Gavin rides 8 meters on day 1, 12 meters on day 2, 18 meters on day 3, and 27 meters on day 4

What is a common ratio in a sequence?

A common ratio is a value that is used to divide or multiply at each stage in a sequence.

The distance Gavin wants to ride each day = 1.5 × The distance he rode on the previous day

The common ratio of the distance Gavin plan to ride on each subsequent day is 1.5, therefore;

Part A; Where x represents the distance Gavin bikes on the first day, we get;

Day 1; Distance Gavin rides = x

Day 2; Distance he rides = 1.5·x

Day 3; Distance he rides  = 1.5²·x

Day 4; Distance he rides = 1.5³·x

Part B; The equation that represents Gavin's situation can be found from the expression for the distance he rides each day by  adding the distances equating the result to the distance Gavin wants to bike in total, as follows;

x + 1.5·x + 1.5²·x + 1.5³·x = 65

x·(1 + 1.5+ 1.5² + 1.5³) = 65

x = 65/(1 + 1.5+ 1.5² + 1.5³)  = 8

x = 8 meters

The distance Gavin rides on each day are therefore;

Day 1; Distance, x = 8 meters

Day 2; Distance, 1.5·x = 1.5 × 8  = 12 meters

Day 3; Distance, 1.5²·x = 1.5² × 8 = 18 meters

Day 4; Distance, 1.5³·x = 1.5³ × 8 = 27 meters

Students in a large psychology class measured the time, in seconds, it took each of them to perform a certain task. The times were later converted to minutes. If a student had a standardized score
of z=1.72 before the conversion, what is the standardized score for the student after the conversion?
A) z=0.26
B) = 1.03
z=1.72
2 = 1.98
The standardized score for the student after the conversion cannot be determined.

Answers

Answer: z= 1.72

Step-by-step explanation:

Don’t ask me how I guessed and it was right

The standardized score for the student after the conversion is z=1.72. The correct option is C.

What is a standardized score?

In statistics, standardization is the process of putting different variables on the same scale. This process allows you to compare scores between different types of variables. Typically, to standardize variables, you calculate the mean and standard deviation for a variable.

A student had a standardized score of z=1.72 before the conversion.

We know that, z=(x-μ)/σ

The standardized score is z=1.72

Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

A family paid $26.400 as a down payment for a home. If this represents 16% of the price of the home, find the price of the home.
The price of the home is $?

Answers

The correct answer is:

How to find X if P percent of it is Y. Use the percentage formula Y/P% = X

Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: Y/P% = X
Y is 26,400, P% is 16%, so the equation is 26,400/16% = X
Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100.
Converting 16% to a decimal: 16/100 = 0.16
Substitute 0.16 for 16% in the equation: 26,400/0.16 = X
Do the math: 26,400/0.16 = X
X = 165,000
So $ 165,000 is the price of the home.

Use the following information to complete parts I, II and III.
1 hour = 3,600 seconds
1 year = 31,556,952 seconds
Part I: Use scientific notation to estimate the number of hours in one year.
Part II: Use scientific notation to calculate the exact number of hours in one year.
Part III: In two or more complete sentences, compare your answers to parts I and II. In your comparison, discuss similarities and differences in your answers.

Answers

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Part I: Use scientific notation to estimate the number of hours in one year

Using the conversion factors

Estimate using scientific notation

31,556,952 seconds = 3.2 *  10^7

3600 seconds = 3.6 * 10 ^2

1 year = 3.2 *  10^7 seconds * 1 hour/ 3.6 * 10 ^2 seconds

3.2 /3.6 =.88888 (repeating)    

10^7 / 10^2 = 10^5

8.88888 * 10 ^5

8.888 * 10 ^4 hours

Part II: Use scientific notation to calculate the exact number of hours in one year.

 31,556,952 seconds = 3.1556952 *  10^7

3600 seconds = 3.6 * 10 ^2

1 year = 3.1556952 *  10^7 seconds * 1 hour/ 3.6 * 10 ^2 seconds

3.1556952 /3.6 =.876582    

10^7 / 10^2 = 10^5

.876582 * 10 ^5      

8.76582*10^4 hours

Part III: In two or more complete sentences, compare your answers to parts I and II. In your comparison, discuss similarities and differences in your answers.

Part II is an exact answer, where Part I is an estimate.  Both Parts give values in the thousands of hours,  and are both  between 8700 and 8900 hours.  Part I can be done without a calculator where Part II is much harder to do without a calculator.

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Part I: Use scientific notation to estimate the number of hours in one year

Using the conversion factors

Estimate using scientific notation

31,556,952 seconds = 3.2 *  10^7

3600 seconds = 3.6 * 10 ^2

1 year = 3.2 *  10^7 seconds * 1 hour/ 3.6 * 10 ^2 seconds

3.2 /3.6 =.88888 (repeating)    

10^7 / 10^2 = 10^5

8.88888 * 10 ^5

8.888 * 10 ^4 hours

Part II: Use scientific notation to calculate the exact number of hours in one year.

31,556,952 seconds = 3.1556952 *  10^7

3600 seconds = 3.6 * 10 ^2

1 year = 3.1556952 *  10^7 seconds * 1 hour/ 3.6 * 10 ^2 seconds

3.1556952 /3.6 =.876582    

10^7 / 10^2 = 10^5

.876582 * 10 ^5      

8.76582*10^4 hours

Part III: In two or more complete sentences, compare your answers to parts I and II. In your comparison, discuss similarities and differences in your answers.

Part II is an exact answer, where Part I is an estimate.  Both Parts give values in the thousands of hours,  and are both  between 8700 and 8900 hours.  Part I can be done without a calculator where Part II is much harder to do without a calculator.

The ratio of the number of boys in the choir to the number of girls is 5 to 4 [tex]\left( \dfrac{5}{4}\right)[/tex].

There are 60 girls in the choir.

Let the number of boys in the choir be x. We need to find the value of x.

The number of boys, x, can be calculated as,

[tex]\dfrac{x}{60}=\dfrac{5}{4}\\x=60\times \dfrac{5}{4}\\x=15\times5\\x=75[/tex]
