The Tortoise and the Hare is a fable about a race with the
moral, “Slow and steady wins the race.” The Tortoise and the
Hare decide to “race” across the United States from
Washington D.C. to Los Angeles.
a. Charles Darwin studied the tortoises when he was on
the Galapagos in 1835. He thought they moved relatively quickly. “One large one, I found by pacing, walked at the rate of 60 yards in 10 minutes” he wrote in Zoology Notes.
i How many inches per minute does the Galapagos tortoise walk?
ii. How long would it take a Galapagos tortoise to walk across the U.S.? Use the most
appropriate unit for time.
b. The Hare can run up to 30mph.
i. How many inches per minute does the Hare run?
ii. How long would it take the Hare to complete the race across the U.S.? Use the
most appropriate unit for time.
c. In the fable, the Hare, confident that he is so far head, relaxes and takes a nap. How long would the Hare need to nap for the Tortoise to pass him and win the race?

Answer:

18. Sqrt40 goes between 6 and 7.

19. Sqrt83 ~= 9

Step-by-step explanation:

For both of these problems, it's really useful to be very familiar with the perfect squares on the times table. 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144, 169, 196, 225...



On #18, we're looking at the sqrt40. This will be between sqrt36 and sqrt49, because 40 is between 36 and 49. But sqrt36 is 6 and sqrt49 is 7. So sqrt40 is between 6 and 7.

For #19, the sqrt83 is far closer to sqrt81 than it is to sqrt100. Sqrt81 = 9. So sqrt83 is very close to 9, it would round to 9 and not 10.

Answer:

x = - 6, x = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{2x}{x+2}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{6}{x+4}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

2x(x + 4) = - 6(x + 2) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides )

2x² + 8x = - 6x - 12 ( subtract - 6x - 12 from both sides )

2x² + 14x + 12 = 0 ( divide through by 2 )

x² + 7x + 6 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 6)(x + 1) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 6 = 0 ⇒ x = - 6

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

Given the area and perimeter of the rectangular dining room, the dimensions of the dining room are 8m by 8m.

The area of rectangle is expressed as;

A = l × b

The perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as;

P = 2( l + b )

Given that;

We use the information given to form a system of equations.

A = l × b

64 = l × b

P = 2( l + b )

32 = 2( l + b )

Hence, we have;

64 = l × b --------- equ 1

32 = 2( l + b )-----equ 2

Lets make l the subject of the formula in equation 1

64 = l × b

l = 64/b -------------equ 3

Substitute equation 3 into equation 2

32 = 2( l + b )

32 = 2l + 2b

32 = 2(64/b) + 2b

32 = 128/b + 2b

Now, we solve for b.

32 = 128/b + 2b

32 - 2b = 128/b

32b - 2b² = 128

2b² - 32b + 128 = 0

We factor out 2

2( b² - 16b + 64) = 0

From perfect square rule

2( 8-b )² = 0

divide both side by 2 and take the square root of both side

( 8-b )² = 0

8-b = 0

b = 8

Substitute b=8 into equation 1

64 = l × b

64 = l × 8

l = 64/8

l = 8

Given the area and perimeter of the rectangular dining room, the dimensions of the dining room are 8m by 8m.

a) The target cost for Model J20, assuming that the historical markup on product cost and selling price is maintained, is $200 per unit.

b) The required cost reduction per unit is $30 per unit ($230 - $200).

c) An evaluation of the three engineering improvements together to determine if the required cost reduction (drift) can be achieved as follows:

While the calculated cost reduction, including direct materials, is $25, the required reduction to achieve the target markup cost is $30.

Thus, the expected target cost reduction does not add up with the calculated cost reduction, envisaged by the engineers.

Model J20 Selling price per unit = $460

Direct materials $175

Direct labor 40

Factory overhead 15

Total $230

Direct labor rate = $30 per hour

Direct labor rate per minute = $0.50 ($30/60)

Direct labor hours per unit = 1¹/₃ hours ($40/$30) or 80 minutes

Normal direct labor time = 80 minutes

Plastic printer cover =        -15 minutes

Total new direct labor time = 65 minutes

Direct labor rate per unit = $32.50 ($0.5 x 65)

Additional inspection time = 6 minutes

Injection molding machine = 1 minute

Direct materials cost = $155 ($175 - $20)

Historical markup = 200% ($460/$230 x 100)

Target cost based on historical markup = $200 ($400 x 100/200)

Required cost reduction per unit is $30 per unit ($230 - $200)

1. Direct labor reduction of $7.50 per unit ($40 - $32.50)

2. Additional inspection $3 per unit (6 x $0.50)

3. Injection molding productivity improvement $0.50 per unit

4. Material cost reduction = $20

Total savings are $25 per unit ($7.50 - $3 + $0.50 + $20).

The number of kilometres travelled by the satellite in discuss in which case, the satellite makes 8 revolutions around the earth is; C = 177,271.8 km.

Given from the task content, the earth's diameter is; 6371 km and since, the height at which the satellite orbits the earth is; 343km, it follows that the diameter of orbit if the satellite in discuss is;

D = 6371 + (343)×2

Hence, we have; diameter, D = 7057 km.

Hence, the distance travelled after 8 revolutions is;

C = 8 × πd

The solution for the simultaneous equations 2x + y - 2z = 12, x + 2y +z =18 and 2x - y + 2z =16 are x = 7, y = 4 and z = 3

Linear equations are equations that have constant average rates of change, slope or gradient

A system of linear equations is a collection of at least two linear equations.

In this case, the system of equations is given as

2x + y - 2z = 12,

x + 2y +z =18

2x - y + 2z =16

Eliminate y and z in the equations by adding the first and the third equation together

This gives

2x + y - 2z = 12,

+

2x - y + 2z =16

--------------------------

4x = 28

Divide both sides by 4

x = 7

Substitute x = 7 in x + 2y +z =18 and 2x - y + 2z =16

7 + 2y +z =18

2(7) - y + 2z =16

This gives

2y + z = 11

-y + 2z= 2

Multiply -y + 2z= 2 by 2

-2y + 4z= 4

Add -2y + 4z= 4 and 2y + z = 11

5z = 15

Divide by 5

z = 3

Substitute z = 3 in -y + 2z= 2

-y + 2*3= 2

Evaluate

y = 4

Hence, the solution for the simultaneous equations 2x + y - 2z = 12, x + 2y +z =18 and 2x - y + 2z =16 are x = 7, y = 4 and z = 3

Answer:

x = 4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x

7/4 x -2  = -5x +1

Add 5x to each side

7/4 x -2+5x  = -5x +1+5x

7/4 x  + 5x -2  = 1

Get a common denominator for the x terms

7/4x  +20/4x -2 = 1

Add 2 to each side

27/4 x -2+2 = 1+2

27/4 x = 3

Multiply each side by 4

27/4 x *4 = 3*4

27x = 12

Divide each side by 27

27x/27 = 12/27

The original price of the item is $180

The values given in the question are;

Actual cost of the item Joyce bought= $108
The item was sold 40 percent off the original price

The original price can be calculated as follows

The first step is to subtract 40% from 100%

100%- 40%

= 60%

Let x represent the original price of the item

60/100x= 108

0.6x= 108

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 0.6

0.6x/0.6= 108/0.6

x= 180

Thus, the original price of the item is $180

35.4m below sea level

Step-by-step explanation:

172.5 - 137.1 = 35.4

The shark's location is now 35.4m below sea level.

Arithmetic operations can also be specified by adding, subtracting, dividing, and multiplying built-in functions.

+ Addition operation: Adds values on either side of the operator.

For example 4 + 2 = 6

- Subtraction operation: Subtracts the right-hand operand from the left-hand operand.

For example 4 -2 = 2

Using the arithmetic operations of addition and subtraction, the shark's location is now in relation to sea level if the shark begins 172.5 meters below sea level and then swam up 137.1 meters.

Assume that distance below sea level is positive,

⇒ 172.5 - 137.1 = 35.4

Hence, the shark's location is now 35.4m below sea level.

The  profit function is R(x) = -0.5 (x - 50²) + 1150

Note that:

1. Profit  = Revenue - cost

P (x) =  0.5 ( x - 90²) + 4050 - 40x - 100  

= 0.5 ( x² - 180 + 8100 + 4050 - 40x - 100  

=0.5 x² - 50x - 100  

=0.5( x² - 100x) - 100  

=  -0.5 (x - 50²) + 1150

2.  Since the minimum unit is 50.

Then   x ≤ 150

X = describe the item so it need to be a negative number

Hence the domain of P(x)  is:  0 ≤ x ≤ 150

3. Assume x = 50 , 60

R(50) = 1150 , R (60 ) = -0.5 (60-50)² + 1150 = 1100

4. R (x) = -0.5 (x-50)² + 1150  then 50 more unit is removed hence, Profit when producing 60 items =  1100
