Jorie leaves work 30 minutes late. she decides to make up time by taking the toll road instead of side streets. she can travel four times faster by taking the toll road. create an equation to represent her total travel time, including wait time, where x is the number of minutes the drive was expected to take.
a. y = \frac{1}{4}x -30
b. y = 4x - 30
c. y = \frac{1}{4}x + 30
d. y = 4x + 30

OPTION C

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the toll road is 4 times faster than the side streets.

If 'x' represents the number of minutes she usually spend taking the side streets. The represents the time she takes taking the toll road.

Also we need to create an equation to represent her total travel time, including wait time. Therefore, the equation is:

Therefore, the correct solution is the OPTION C.

so then what are you asking?

step-by-step explanation:

1,407.5 hours

step-by-step explanation:

we first convert all the time to hours and then sum them up.

there are 24 hours in 1 day, in 58 days, there are 24 x 58 = 1,392 hours.

there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, thus, 30 minutes will be equivalent to 30 / 60 = 0.5 hours.

therefore, the number of hours it will take mercury to complete a full rotation is 1,392 + 15 + 0.5 = 1,407.5 hours
