Since the enactment of a smoking ban in a particular​ city, the number of smokers has slowly declined. Statistics show that the number of smokers in this city has decreased for four consecutive months by​ 3%, 2%,​ 5%, and​ 2%. What was the overall percentage decrease in the number of smokers during this four month​ period? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percentage point.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

11.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of smokers before ban = 100

Decrease in 1st month = 3% , of 100 = 3

Smokers after 1st month = 100 - 3 = 97

Decrease in 2nd month = 2%, of 97 = 1.94

Smokers after 2nd month = 97 - 1.94 =  95.06

Decrease in 3rd month = 5%, of 95.06 = 4.75

Smokers after 3rd month = 95.06 - 4.75 = 90.31

Decrease in 4th month = 2%, of 90.31 = 1.80

Smokers after 4th month = 90.31 - 1.80 = 88.51

Decrease in smokers after 4th month = (Decrease / old value) x 100

[ (100 - 88.51) / 100 ] x 100 = (11.49 / 100) x 100

= 11.5%

Answers

Answer:

4+62=66

Step-by-step explanation:

A pair of weak earthquakes is modeled by a system of inequalities. One earthquake occurred roughly 20 km east and 14 km north of the center of Columbia, NC. The quake could be felt from 25 km away. A couple days later, another earthquake occurred 8 km west and 3 km north of the center of Columbia and could be felt from 14 km away. If Columbia is located at (0, 0) on a coordinate grid, the system of inequalities represents this scenario.

StartLayout Enlarged left-brace first row (x minus 20) squared + (y minus 14) squared less-than-or-equal-to 625 second row (x + 8) squared + (y minus 3) squared less-than-or-equal-to 196 EndLayout

Which location relative to Columbia felt both earthquakes?

4 km west and 12 km south
6 km west and 4 km north
2 km east and 10 km north
6 km east and 8 km north

Answers

Answer:

2 km east and 10 km north

Step-by-step explanation:

I did the activity and got the right answer.

By evaluating the inequalities, we will see that the correct option is: 2 km east and 10 km north

Which location will feel both earthquakes?

Here we have the inequalities:

(x - 20)^2 + (y - 14)^2 ≤ 625

(x + 8)^2 + (y - 3)^2 ≤ 196

Where, x is the distance due east, and y is the distance due north.

So we just need to find which of the given options makes both inequalities true, for example, for the first one we have:

x = -4

y = -12

Replacing that on the first inequality we get:

(-4 - 20)^2 + (-12 - 14)^2 ≤ 625

1,252 ≤ 625

This is false, so this option is not correct.

Now we just need to check the other options. Particularly for the third we have:

x = 2

y = 10

Replacing that in both inequalities we get:

(2 - 20)^2 + (10 - 14)^2 ≤ 625

340 ≤ 625 (true).

(2 + 8)^2 + (10 - 3)^2 ≤ 196

149 ≤ 196 (true)

So at 2km east and 10km north of Columbia, the two earthquakes can be felt.

In a display at a museum, two planets have volumes of 8 cubic inches and 27 cubic
inches. What is the ratio of their diameters?
2:3
413.5
2:9
4:13.5

Answers

Answer:

2:3

Step-by-step explanation:

V = 4/3*pi*r^3

Diameter = 2r

The ratio of diameters of the two planets has volumes of 8 cubic inches and 27 cubic will be 2/3.

What is Ratio?

A ratio is defined as a relationship between two quantities, it is expressed as one divided by the other such that they should not be divisible.

The upper number is called as the numerator and the lower is called the denominator.

For example, 3/4 where 3 will be numerator and 4 will be denominator.

Given that the In a display at a museum, two planets have volumes of 8 cubic inches and 27 cubic.

Now volume of planets(sphere) = πD³/6 where D is diameter of sphere

So volume of first planet / volume of second planet ∝ (dia or first)³/(dia of second)³

⇒ V₁/V₂  ∝ (D₁/D₂)³

Given that V₁/V₂ = 8/27

So 8/27 =  (D₁/D₂)³

D₁/D₂ = 2/3

Hence, the ratio of diameters of two planets will be 2/3.

10 cm
X=?

Answers

Answer: y ≈ 10.6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The cosine function relates the adjacent side to the hypotenuse in a right triangle. The side adjacent to the 20° angle is 10 cm.

cos(20°) = (10 cm)/y

y = (10 cm)/cos(20°)

y ≈ 10.6 cm

The approximate value of the variable x will be 3.64.

What is a right-angle triangle?

It's a form of a triangle with one 90-degree angle that follows Pythagoras' theorem and can be solved using the trigonometry function.

The Pythagoras theorem states that the sum of two squares equals the squared of the longest side.

The base of the right angle triangle is 10 cm, the perpendicular is x, and the hypotenuse is y.

Then the value of y will be given by the cosine of angle 20°.

cos 20° = 10/y

          y = 10.64 cm

The approximate value of the variable x is given by the Pythagoras theorem.

     H² = P² + B²

10.64² = x² + 10²

113.25 = x² + 100

      x² = 113.25 – 100

      x² = 13.25

       x = 3.64

This means that this question can be solved by proportions, using a rule of three.

We have that:

For 33.5 hours, he earned $328.30. How much he earns for 35 hours?

33.5 hours - $328.30

35 hours - $x

Applying cross multiplication:

[tex]33.5x = 328.30*35[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{328.30*35}{33.5}[/tex]

[tex]x = 343[/tex]
