How does the oxymoron "controlled chaos" affect the meaning of this sentence? she sat back and put her feet up, grateful to relax after the controlled chaos of her day as a kindergarten teacher. the oxymoron means that the teacher doesn’t like her job. the oxymoron explain why all kindergarten children misbehave in school. the oxymoron explains that a kindergarten teacher has to do multiple, unrelated tasks at the same time. the oxymoron is a polite way to say that the teacher is not good at managing her classroom.

  The oxymoron explains that a kindergarten teacher has to do multiple, unrelated tasks at the same time.

Explanation:

  An oxymoron is defined as the combination of incongruent or contradictory words. It is a figure of speech, the contradiction is also known as a paradox and writers use it to add humor, irony or sarcasm to their histories.

  By putting together the words control and chaos, the writer is trying to show that although it may seem that the situation in the kindergarten overwhelmed the teacher. It is not as bad as it appears.

  I hope this answer helps you.

in the problem you wrote said that the taxi charges $0.070 per mile(which would be 7 cents per mile), but then in your suggested equation you have it as $0.70 per mile (which is 70 cents per mile).

the latter seems more realistic, so i will assume that the taxi costs $5.00 and charges $0.70 per mile with tolls costing an additional $3.50. and it asks you to find how far you can travel on $36.50.

let x the number of miles traveled. since the taxi charges $0.70 per mile, multiplying this by the miles traveled (x) will yield the cost of the taxi ride as far as how far it took you. then adding this amount to the cost of the taxi ($5.00) and the additional cost for the tolls ($3.50) will give you the total cost of the taxi ride ($36.50)

that is,

            (0.70)x + 5.00 + 3.50 = 36.50

adding the like terms on the left-hand side of this equation, we arrive at the following:

            (0.70)x + 8.50 = 36.50

subtracting 8.50 from both sides of the equation, we get:

            (0.70)x = 28.00

to solve for x, divide both sides of the equation above by the coefficient of x (that being, 0.70):

            x = 40

thus, you can travel up to 40 miles on $36.50

answer: b. the moon is much smaller than the earth.

explanation:

it starts off by comparing the earth and venus. it also only says one sentance about the moon which make it the odd one out. in conclusion the answer is b.
