Urban rail systems have been proposed to alleviate traffic congestion, but results in many cities have been cited as evidence that this approach to traffic management is ineffective. For example, a U.S. city that opened three urban rail branches experienced a net decline of 3,100 urban rail commuters during a period when employment increased by 96,000. Officials who favor urban rail systems as a solution to traffic congestion have attempted to counter this argument by noting that commuting trips in that city represent just 20 percent of urban travel.
The response of the officials to the claim that urban rail systems are ineffective is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it
A) presents no evidence to show that the statistics are incorrect
B) relies solely on general data about U.S. cities rather than data about the city in question
C) fails to consider that commuting trips may cause significantly more than 20 percent of the traffic congestion
D) fails to show that the decline in the number of urban rail commuters in one U.S. city is typical of U.S. cities generally
E) provides no statistics on the use of urban rail systems by passengers other than commuters

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C) fails to consider that commuting trips may cause significantly more than 20 percent of the traffic congestion

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct option is - C) fails to consider that commuting trips may cause significantly more than 20 percent of the traffic congestion

Reason -

Option A is incorrect because the statistics can not be incorrect.

Option B is incorrect because they are not talking about the city.

Option C is correct because Urban rail reduces congestion.

Option D is incorrect because the opposers cited the example of one city and the supporters are presenting evidence in the case of that city itself.

Option E is incorrect because they are providing an explanation for why the commuters data given by opposers is not relevant. The opposers talked about commuters.

Matt made a trip to his friend's house and back. On
the trip there he drove 24 miles per hour and on the
return trip he went 30 miles per hour. How long did
the trip there take if the return trip took 4 hours

Answers

————>
24 mph (? hour trip there)
<————
30 mph (4 hour return trip)

If the return trip took 4 hours, then that means the total miles away would be 120. Matt was driving at 30 mph and drove for four hours, After multiplying 30 by 4, you will get 120. Once you’ve done that, you can do 120 divided by 24. Now that you know how many miles away his friend’s house is, you can estimate the time it took him to arrive by driving at 24 mph. 120 / 24 = 5

A shipping container is in the shape of a right rectangular prism with a length of 5 feet, a width of 12.5 feet, and a height of 14 feet. The container is completely filled with contents that weigh, on average, 0.78 pound per cubic foot. What is the weight of the contents in the container, to the nearest pound?

Answers

Answer:

102 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of Right rectangular prism = 12 * 8.5 * 4  = 408 cubic feet

Density = Mass / Volume

=>  0.25  = Weight of contents in container / Volume of container

=> 0.25 = Weight of contents in container / 408

=> Weight of contents in container  = 0.25 * 408

=> Weight of contents in container  = 102 pounds

683lb

A certain building has a triangular shaped face to link up of the sides of the triangular base or 145 feet 257 feet in 290 feet five find the area of the base of the building

Answers

Answer:

18617.66 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

sides of triangular base

a=  145ft  ,

b = 257ft ,

c =  290ft

calculate the area of the base  

The base is a scalene triangle hence the area is calculated as follows

s = ( a + b + c ) / 2

  = ( 145 + 257 + 290 ) / 2 = 346

Area of triangle = [tex]\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)} = \sqrt{346(201)(89)(56)}[/tex]

                          = 18617.66 ft^2

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle's total interior angle measurement will equal 180°.

Set all measurements equal to 180:

(82) + (9x - 6) + (6x - 1) = 180

Simplify. Combine like terms:

(82 - 6 - 1) + (9x + 6x) = 180

(82 - 7) + (15x) = 180

(75) + 15x = 180

Next, isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operation, and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

~

First, Subtract 75 from both sides of the equation:

15x + 75 = 180

15x + 75 (-75) = 180 (-75)

15x = 180 - 75

15x = 105

Next, divide 15 from both sides of the equation:

(15x)/15 = (105)/15

x = 105/15

x = 7

7 is your value for x.

Step-by-step explanation:

32 x 22 = 704

704 / 2 = 352

Answer:

352 sq. inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is found by the formula 1/2bh

aka 1/2 of base times height

the height is 22 and the base is 32 so we multiply 22 by 32

We get 704 but not the end we have to multiply that by 1/2 or divide by 2

Do that and you get 352

b=32      h=22

22*32=704

704/2 or 704*1/2 = 352

First, solve 9.30 x 10^7 to find the length of an astronomical unit.

10^7 = 10000000

9.30x10000000=93000000 miles

next, solve for the distances the sun is from Jupiter and Mars,

10^8 = 100000000

1.42x100000000=142000000 miles

4.84x100000000=484000000 miles

next, subtract the distances

484000000-142000000=342000000 miles

then, divide the sum by 93000000 to find the amount in astronomical units.

342000000/93000000=3.677419

the figure shown is a triangular prism

The base is the triangle

So we need to find the area of the triangle using this formula

[tex]A=\frac{bh}{2}[/tex]

where b = base and h = height

The base (triangle) has a base length of 8 inches and a height of 6 inches

Having found the information we needed, we plug it into the formula

So

[tex]A=\frac{6*8}{2} \\6*8=48\\\frac{48}{2} =24\\A=24in^2[/tex]

So the area of the base is 24 in²
