Cevap: 900

Cevap

The total cost of the carpet is

900

dollars.

The total area of the floor is found by multiplying the length by the width (

15 \times 12 = 180

square feet). Since the carpet costs

5

dollars per square foot, the total cost is the area multiplied by the unit price (

180 \times 5 = 900

).

Cevap

The target words match their contextual synonyms as follows: 'mitigate' matches 'Reduce the severity or impact of', 'scrutinize' matches 'Inspect closely and thoroughly', 'lucid' matches 'Clear and easily understood', and 'bolster' matches 'Strengthen and reinforce'.

Each sentence embeds a distinct type of context clue: a cause-and-effect relationship defines 'mitigate' as reducing severity; a descriptive modifier defines 'scrutinize' as examining thoroughly; a contrast conjunction ('Despite') defines 'lucid' as clear; and physical material details define 'bolster' as strengthening.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the cause-and-effect clue for 'mitigate' in the first sentence.

The installation of extra cooling units directly addresses and lessens the risk of overheating, establishing the synonym as 'Reduce the severity or impact of'.

Context clues often show a protective action taken to decrease potential harm.

A delivery truck travels from a warehouse to a distribution center at an average speed of $40$ mph and returns along the same route at an average speed of $60$ mph. If the entire round trip takes $5$ hours, what is the total round-trip distance traveled by the truck?

120

250

miles

500

miles

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $240$ miles

Cevap

The correct total round-trip distance is

240

miles.

The total time is the sum of the time for each leg. Letting

d

be the one-way distance, the equation is

\frac{d}{40} + \frac{d}{60} = 5

. Solving this gives a one-way distance of

d = 120

miles. Since the question asks for the total round-trip distance, this must be doubled to get

240

miles.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Set up an equation for the total time of the trip.

Let

d

be the one-way distance. Time is equal to Distance divided by Speed. Therefore, the total time equation is

\frac{d}{40} + \frac{d}{60} = 5

.

The total round-trip time is the sum of the time spent on the outbound leg and the return leg.

2

Find a common denominator to add the fractions.

The least common multiple of

40

and

60

is

120

. Convert the fractions:

\frac{3d}{120} + \frac{2d}{120} = 5

.

Fractions must have a common denominator before they can be algebraically combined.

3

Combine the fractions and solve for the one-way distance

d

.

\frac{5d}{120} = 5

, which simplifies to

\frac{d}{24} = 5

. Multiplying both sides by

24

yields

d = 120

miles.

This isolates the variable

d

to determine the distance of a single leg of the journey.

4

Calculate the total round-trip distance.

Total distance =

2d = 2 \times 120 = 240

miles.

The question specifically asks for the total round-trip distance, which is twice the one-way distance.

Anahtar Kavram

To find distances in round trips with different speeds, set up an equation using the relationship Time = Distance / Speed for each leg, taking care to answer the specific question asked (one-way vs. total distance).

Rather than taking sides or displaying favoritism toward his former squad members, the lead investigator remained strictly throughout the inquiry.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

The correct synonym to fill in the blank is 'impartial' (or accepted equivalents such as 'unbiased', 'objective', or 'neutral').

The introductory clause 'Rather than taking sides or displaying favoritism' functions as a contrast clue signaling that the investigator acted in the opposite manner. The missing word must therefore be a synonym for fair or unbiased, making 'impartial' the most precise contextual fit.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Analyze the opening clause for structural context clues.

The phrase 'Rather than taking sides or displaying favoritism' sets up a direct contrast.

Contrast signal phrases indicate that the subject's actual behavior is the exact opposite of showing bias or partiality.

The severe accumulation of packed ice along the steep ridge did not merely hinder convoy travel; the impassable conditions served to preclude all vehicular movement until heavy excavation equipment arrived. In this sentence, 'preclude' most nearly means .

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

prevent (or equivalent synonyms such as prohibit, block, or stop)

The sentence sets up a contrast of degree: the ice did not just slow down or impede the convoy ('did not merely hinder'); rather, the impassable terrain made further travel impossible. Therefore, 'preclude' means to prevent, prohibit, or completely block.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the target word and determine its part of speech in the sentence.

The word 'preclude' functions as a transitive verb indicating an action taken by the impassable conditions against vehicular movement.

Establishing the correct part of speech ensures that the replacement synonym fits the sentence's grammatical frame.

2

Analyze the semantic clues of contrast, degree, and cause-effect in the surrounding text.

The phrase 'did not merely hinder' signals an escalation beyond a simple delay, while 'impassable conditions' and 'until heavy excavation equipment arrived' indicate a complete, insurmountable barrier.

Recognizing the progression from partial obstruction ('hinder') to an absolute stop establishes the necessary intensity and precision of the definition.

3

Synthesize the clues to derive the exact contextual synonym.

In this context, 'preclude' means to make impossible or completely prevent from happening, matching synonyms such as 'prevent', 'prohibit', or 'block'.

Replacing the target word with 'prevent' preserves the logical flow and meaning of the original sentence.

45.50 each, the total cost is

1,911.00.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the total area of the hall in square feet.

24 \times 36 = 864\text{ sq ft}

To find the maximum possible flooring area before accounting for the unfloored stage.

2

Calculate the area of the stage in square feet.

12 \times 9 = 108\text{ sq ft}

The stage will not receive new flooring, so its area must be determined for subtraction.

3

Calculate the net area to be floored.

864 - 108 = 756\text{ sq ft}

Subtracting the stage area from the hall area gives the actual surface area that requires new flooring.

Determine the width of the park on the scale drawing.

The width on the drawing is

2.5

inches.

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is

P = 2L + 2W

. Substituting the given values,

14 = 2(4\frac{1}{2}) + 2W

, which simplifies to

14 = 9 + 2W

. Solving for

W

gives

2W = 5

, so

W = 2.5

.

2

Calculate the unit scale rate.

1

inch on the drawing represents

18

yards in reality.

To find the value of

1

inch, divide the actual distance by the drawing distance:

12 \div \frac{2}{3} = 12 \times \frac{3}{2} = 18

yards per inch.

3

Calculate the actual width of the park in yards.

The actual width is

45

yards.

Multiply the drawing width by the unit scale rate: $2.5 \text{ inches} \times 18 \text{ yards/inch} = 45 \text{ yards}.

4

Convert the actual width from yards to feet.

The final actual width is

135

feet.

There are

3

feet in

1

yard. Multiply the width in yards by

3

:

45 \times 3 = 135

feet.
