After the outbreak of a mysterious disease, the average wait time at a hospital increased by 70%. before the outbreak, the average wait time at the hospital was m minutes. write 2 expressions that could represent the average wait time at the hospital.

minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the average wait time at a hospital increased by 70%.

Initially average wait time was m minutes. But later it increased by 70%.

Let there are n number of patients and it takes t minutes to examine each patient.

So the initial average waiting time is:

minutes

After the outbreak the waiting time increased by 70%. So the new waiting time should be the sum of initial waiting time and additional waiting time that is:

New waiting time = 70% +

2 & 7

step-by-step explanation:

he climbs 300 ft/hr at a constant rate. the peak is at 1,500 ft.

when going up, he reaches 600 ft in 2 hours. remember, that he is going in a constant rate. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = 2

assuming that he takes the same route back (meaning that it's a 1500 ft route back, you can solve.

note also that you are solving when he gets back to 600 ft after he reaches the peak.

first, find the amount of hours it takes to get up the peak. divide the total amount (1500), with the ft/her (300) to get the amount of hours (x):

1500/300 = x

x = 5

it takes jamie 5 hours to get up. now, he is returning down, and reaches 600 (his current destination). remember that he climbs at a constant 300 ft/hr. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = x

x = 2

now add the two numbers together.

x = 5 + 2 = 7

jamie takes 7 hours to go up the mountain and reach his current position when descending.

(total amount/constant rate) = (time).

remember that it is a constant rate, so in total, when he gets back down the mountain, it will take the same amount of time as when he goes up. the total amount for the round trip is: 5 + 5 = 10.
