Homeowners in the united states use more than 15 million pounds of pesticides on their lawns every year. convert this rate to ounces per day, rounded to the nearest whole number.

rate = 657534 ounces per day

Step-by-step explanation:

15 million pounds of pesticides per year is used by homeowner in the united States on their Lawns

Convert the amount in pounds to ounces to get the amount used in ounces.

1 pound = 16 ounces

15,000,000 pounds = ?

cross multiply

15,000,000 × 16 = 240,000,000 ounces

The amount used per year in ounces is 240 millions .

The amount use in a day can be gotten by dividing the amount use per year by 365 days.

1 year = 365 days

so,

rate = 240,000,000/365

rate = 657534.246575

To the nearest whole number

rate = 657534 ounces per day

x =±sqrt(1/3)

step-by-step explanation:

x+4/6x=1/x

multiply each side by 6x to get rid of the fractions

6x*(x+4/6x)=1/x*6x

distribute

6x^2 +4 = 6

subtract 4 from each side

6x^2 +4-4 = 6-4

6x^2 =2

divide by 6

6x^2/6 = 2/6

x^2 = 1/3

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(1/3)

x =±sqrt(1/3)

let y equal to

the total fare and x is the mile of taxi ride. so the equation is

y = 0.55x + 1.75

since susie has

$10 to spend for a taxi cab, so he can have

10 = 0.55x +

1.75

x = 15 miles of

taxi ride

so the system of

inequality is

10 < 0.55x +

1.75

x > 2
