Read this excerpt from Immigrant Kids, by Russell Freedman.

Edward Corsi, who later became United States Commissioner of Immigration, was a ten-year-old Italian immigrant when he sailed into New York harbor in 1907:

My first impressions of the New World will always remain etched in my memory, particularly that hazy October morning when I first saw Ellis Island. The steamer Florida, fourteen days out of Naples, filled to capacity with 1600 natives of Italy, had weathered one of the worst storms in our captain's memory; and glad we were, both children and grown-ups, to leave the open sea and come at last through the Narrows into the Bay.

My mother, my stepfather, my brother Giuseppe, and my two sisters, Liberta and Helvetia, all of us together, happy that we had come through the storm safely, clustered on the foredeck for fear of separation and looked with wonder on this miraculous land of our dreams.

The purpose of this excerpt is to help readers understand

A) the excitement and relief immigrants felt upon arriving in America.
B) that the Narrows into the Bay was a very dangerous passage.
C) that Italian children were very sad after leaving their home country.
D) the weather the immigrants experienced on that day in October 1907.

Rodolfo earns $30.00 in 5 days. Max earns $10.00 more than Rodolfo in 5 days. How much is the Max salary in 8 days?

Answers

Answer: Mac made $64
Rodolfo earns $30 in 5, 30 divided by 5 equals 6. Max made $10 more so 40 divided by 5 equals 8. Since we are trying to find how much Max made in 8 days we multiply 8 by 8 and get 64.

Tim has m dollars. Rebecca has $6 less than times the number of dollars that Tim has. Which expression represents the total amount of money that Tim and Rebecca have? If Tim has $70, how much money do Rebecca and Tim have altogether?

Answers

Answer:

$71

Step-by-step explanation:

Tim has M dollars

Rebecca is having (M/10 - 6)

Then, the amount of money Tim and Rebecca are having

= M + M/10 - 6

= (11M/10) - 6 dollars

The expression representing the total amount of money is [(11X/10) - 6]

If Tim is having $70, then total amount both would have together

= [(11 × 70/10) - 6]

= 77 - 6

= $71

Therefore, the expression for the total amount is [(11M/10) - 6] dollars

The total amount both are having together is $71.

Answer:

B. The expression is 11/10m – 6, and the amount is $71.

We also know that distributive property states a(b + c) = ab + ac.

Given, Tom runs a car dealership that currently has 21 pickup trucks and 35 SUVs.

∴ If he wants to divide the lot into areas that have either pickup trucks or SUVs,  and he wants the same number of vehicles in each area the largest number of vehicles Tom can put in one area is is GCF of 7 and 35 which 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+5)-3 = 2(3x + 1) - 3x

open the parenthesis

3x + 15 - 3 = 6x + 3 - 3x

add 3x to both sides of the equation

3x + 3x + 15 - 3 = 6x + 3 - 3x + 3x

combine like terms

6x + 15 - 3 = 6x + 3

add 3 to both sides of the equation

6x + 15 - 3 + 3 = 6x + 3 + 3

6x + 15 = 6x + 6

subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

6x + 15 - 6 = 6x + 6 - 6

6x + 15 - 6 = 6x

6x + 9 = 6x

subtract 6x from both sides of the equation

9 = 0

since 9 does not equal 0, the answer is no solutions

Answer:

NS = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the ratio 2:3 and set up a proportion.

2/3 = x/36

Cross multiply

3 * x = 3x

2 * 36 = 72

3x = 72

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = 72/3

x = 24

So NS is 24

_____

Comment on the question

The directive to "compare the volumes" does not tell anything about the sort of comparison you are expecting. We note that the expression x^3-x^2 is zero or less up to the point where x=1, so we wonder exactly what it is supposed to be modeling. Any real volume will not be negative.

For small values of x, the quadratic is quite a bit larger. However, we know the cubic will grow larger than any quadratic for large values of x. So, the comparison you get will depend on the domain of interest—which is not specified.
