Scenario 1

Karissa has been working at her job in retail for three years. She’s looking forward to the raise she’ll be getting next month when the minimum wage goes up by $0.50. She plans to use some of the extra money to pay her bills and save the rest.


Scenario 2

Marta has owned her popular clothing store for 10 years. She prides herself on offering good service to all her customers. To achieve this level of service, she has always had five employees work in the store every day. She will have to increase the hourly wage she pays her employees next month when the minimum wage goes up. She is concerned about how she will come up with the extra money to pay her employees. She’s trying to decide between two options: increasing the prices she charges for items and reducing the number of employees working in the store each day.


How do Karissa and Marta differ in their reactions to the increase in the minimum wage?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Karissa is happy with the increase in minimum wage. She will be able to save money.

Marta is worried because she has to choose between increasing the prices of her items and reducing the number of employees.

What are the slope and the y-intercept of the linear function that is represented by the graph?

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (negative 3, 0) and (negative 2, 4).

Answers

Answer:

slope is 4 and y-intercept is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, let's actually just write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Slope is change in y divided by change in x. Given (-3, 0) and (-2, 4), the slope will be: (4 - 0) / (-2 - (-3)) = 4 / 1 = 4. So, the slope is m = 4.

Now, our equation so far is y = 4x + b. To find b, plug in, say, -3 for x and 0 for y:

0 = 4 * (-3) + b

0 = -12 + b

b = 12

Then the slope is 4 and the y-intercept is 12.

Answer:

[tex]m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1} } = \frac{0 - 4}{-3+2} = \frac{-4}{-1} = 4[/tex]

4 is the slope

now we have to plug in the slope intercept formula where m is 4

you can find b by plugging one of the points

I choose (-3,0) since it is easier to work with

0 = 4(-3) + b

0 = -12 + b

12 = b

Our y intercept is 12

finally the slope intercept form is

y = 4x + 12

Slope formula - (y2 - y1)/ (x2-x1)

Slope intercept form = y = mx + b

What is the approximate area of the congruent orange right triangles?


A. 17 in2
B. 31 in2
C. 33 in2
D. 51 in2

Answers

Answer: The answer is A 17in2

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question it states that the triangles are congruent (both the same).

  first I found the area of the top orange triangle.

the formula to find the area of a triangle is [tex]\frac{1}{2} bh[/tex] (base times Height).

so I did  [tex]\frac{1}{2} 3.23* 5.12[/tex]  which gave me 8.27.

Since the triangles are congruent (the same) they would both have the same area along with base and height. so I multiplied 8.27 by 2 (because there are two triangles) and got 16.54 which rounds up to 17.

the question also stated to find the APPROXIMATE area (close to the actual, but not completely accurate or exact.)

Which compound inequality is equivalent to the absolute value inequality |b| greater than 6? –6 > b and b > 6 b > –6 or b < 6 –6 < b and b > 6 b < –6 or b > 6

Answers

Answer:

The correct inequality is: b< -6 or b > 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value operator always results in a positive number, in such a way that if b > 0, then |b| = b, while if  b < 0, then |b| = -b. With this in mind, let's look at the inequality given:

|b| > 6

This will be true for values of b that are greater than 6 and values of b that are less than -6, due to the absolute value operator. Therefore the compound inequality that represents this situation is:

b< -6 or b > 6

Answer:

I think it is D (and)

Step-by-step explanation:

"Or" means that the b value can be less than -6 or greater than 6

so it could satisfy either one

so if you plug in a value that satifies one of the inequalities (ex: -7)

|-7|>6  and it works!

1/8 - 3/16 - 1/4 - 1/32 - 5/32 - 1/16

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached, the complete question is shown.

We have to transform all the fractions to new fractions with the same denominator, as follows:

1/8 *4/4 = 4/32

-3/16 *2/2 = -6/32

-1/4 *8/8 = -8/32

1/32

5/32

-1/16 *2/2 = -2/32

Now we can order the list simply comparing numerators:

-8/32, -6/32, -2/32, 1/32, 4/32, 5/32

or

-1/4, -3/16, -1/16, 1/32, 1/8, 5/32

The order from least to greatest is -1/4 < -3/16 < -1/16 < 1/32 < 1/8 < 5/32 option first is correct.

What is the number?

A number is a mathematical entity that can be used to count, measure, or name things. For example, 1, 2, 56, etc. are the numbers.

We have a measurement data as shown:

1/8, - 3/16, - 1/4, 1/32,  5/32, - 1/16

We can write the above numbers as follows:

0.125, -0.1875, -0.25, 0,03125, 0.15625, -0.0625

The order from least to greatest:

-1/4 < -3/16 < -1/16 < 1/32 < 1/8 < 5/32

Thus, the order from least to greatest is -1/4 < -3/16 < -1/16 < 1/32 < 1/8 < 5/32 option first is correct.

PLEASE ANSWER. I will mark as brainliest for fist correct answer.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total worth of the roll is 50 cents, we know that there are 50 pennies in the roll, and therefore the roll has a height of 50 * 1.52 = 76 mm. The radius of a penny is half its diameter, or 19.05 / 2 = 9.525.

We can find its volume with the formula (πr²) * h, where r and h are the radius and height respectively, and we can approximate 3.14 for π. Plugging these in, we have (3.14 * (9.525)²) * 76 ≈ 2160.8 mm³. Hope this helps!

Answer:

  21,661.7 mm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is ...

  V = πr²h

Here, we're given the diameter as 19.05 mm, so the radius is ...

  r = 19.05 mm / 2 = 9.525 mm

The thickness of one penny is 1.52 mm, but there are 50 of them in the roll. So the total height of this cylinder is ...

  h = (1.52 mm)(50) = 76 mm

__

Using these numbers for radius and height in the volume formula, we find the volume of the roll of pennies to be ...

  V = π(9.525 mm)²(76 mm) = 21,661.7 mm³

The approximate volume of the roll of pennies is 21,661.7 mm³.
