A radar is designed to report the track of an aircraft every second. If this radar reports
30 tracks in one minute, what percentage of the time did the radar track the aircraft? -
Answers- The radar reports 30 tracks in one minute, and it reports every second. To
calculate the percentage of time the radar tracked the aircraft, we'll determine the
number of seconds it tracked the aircraft and then convert that to a percentage.
To find the tracks reported per second, divide the tracks in one minute by 60 (the
number of seconds in a minute):
so 30/60= 0.50= 50%
Jerry walked a dog from 6:40 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. one day. If he was paid at the rate of $6
per hour, how much did he earn that day? - Answers- To calculate how much Jerry
earned, we need to determine how many hours he worked. He walked the dog from
6:40 a.m. to 7:30 a.m., which is a total of 50 minutes. To convert this to hours, we divide
50 minutes by 60: 50/60 = 0.83 hours. Now, we multiply the number of hours Jerry
, worked by his hourly rate of $6: 0.83 * 6 = $5.00. Therefore, Jerry earned $5.00 that
day.
A woman is looking for a bigger square office. She finds an office twice the area of her
current office. If the perimeter of her current office is 88 feet, how many square feet is
the new office? - Answers- Her current office is square and has a perimeter of 88 ft so
its sides each measure 88/4 = 22 ft. It follows that the area of her current office = (22
ft)^2 = 484 sq. ft. Thus the area of the new office = 484 x 2 = 968 sq. ft.
How many feet of chain fence are necessary to enclose a dog pen that is square and
has an area of 64 square feet? - Answers- The area of a square of side s is:
The perimeter is:
Area of 64 square feet: 8
The side of the square is of 8 feet.
Perimeter:
Side of 8 feet, so: 4(8)=32
32 feet of chain fence are needed.
A train goes twice as fast downhill as it can go uphill, and 2/3 as fast uphill as it can go
on level ground. If it goes 120 mph downhill, how long will it take to travel 45 miles on
flat land? - Answers- Given that the train goes twice as fast downhill as it can go uphill,
and 2/3 feet as fast uphill as it can go on level ground.If it goes 120 miles per hour
downhill, then its speed uphill is = 60 miles per hour and its speed on a flat land
is 60 / (2/3) = (60 x 3) / 2 = = 90 miles per hour.
Therefore, the amount of time it will take the train to travel 45 miles on flat land is given
by = 0.5 hours = 30 minutes.
Each August, a restaurant's rent is adjusted to the cost of living index. The rent has
been 1,550 a month, and the cost of living index for this August was 3.7%. What is the
new rent per month? - Answers- We are given that the rent increased by 3.7%.This
means that:new rent = x + 3.7% x new rent = x + 0.037 x We are given that x = 1550,
therefore: new rent = 1550 + 0.037(1550)new rent = 1550 + 57.35 new rent = $1607.35
There are 9 red and 6 green marbles in a bag. A child reaches in the bag and randomly
takes one marble. What is the probability of that child getting a green marble? -
Answers- Let S denote the sample space of choosing a marble from the bag and A be
the event of choosing a green marble.
Then,
n(S) = 9 + 6 = 15 and n(A) = 6.
Therefore, the probability of event A will be 6/15=2/5*100=40
Thus, the required probability that the child took a green marble is 40%
