A town has accumulated 4 inches of snow, and the snow depth is increasing by 6 inches every hour. A nearby town has accumulated 10 inches, and the depth is increasing by 3 inches every hour. In about how many hours will the snowfall of the towns be equal?

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial difference in depth is 10-4 = 6 inches. The difference in snowfall rates is 6-3 = 3 inches per hour.

At that rate, the difference in depth will be made up in ...

  (6 in)/(3 in/h) = 2 h

In 2 hours the snowfall in the two towns will be equal.

_____

You could write equations for depth, then equate them.

  d1 = 4 +6h

  d2 = 10 +3h

  d1 = d2 . . . . . . . . . . for some value of h the depths will be equal

  4 +6h = 10 +3h

  h(6 -3) = 10 -4 . . . . . subtract 3h+4 from both sides

  h = 6/3 = 2

Snowfall will be equal in 2 hours.

The cooking club made some pies to sell during lunch to raise money for a field trip. The cafeteria helped by donating 3 pies to the club. Each pie was then cut into 6 pieces and sold. There were a total of 72 pieces to sell. How many pies did the cooking club bake?

Answers

Answer:

9 pies

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we were given,

Number of pies = 3

Number of pieces cut from each pie = 6

Given total number of pieces to sell = 72

But the Number of pieces from 3 pies = 3×6

=18

so, Number of pieces the club needed to make is given = 72-18= 54

Since each pie is cut into 6 pieces

And number of extra pieces needed = 54

Then the number of pies the cooking club bake is 54/6= 9 pies

Therefore, the club bake 9pies

A rain gauge is accurate within 0.5 mm of the true rain height. One Sunday
afternoon, it reads a height of 60mm. Formulate an absolute value equation, where
r is the true rain height, that can help you figure out the least rain height possible
and the greatest rain height possible.

Answers

Answer: 59.5 ≤ r ≤ 60.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Accuracy range = ±0.5 of true value

True height of rain (r) = 60mm

Absolute value equation to find the least and greatest height if rain possible ;

|r| = 0.5

To remove the absolute value sign ;

|r| ± 0.5

r = 60mm

60 - 0.5 ≤ r ≤ 60 + 0.5

59.5mm ≤ r ≤ 60.5mm

Hence,

Greatest height possible = 60.5mm

Least height possible = 59.5 mm

Answer:

y = 4/3x -11

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -3/4 x - 8

This is in slope intercept form  

y = mx+b where the slope is -3/4

We want a slope that is perpendicular

Take the negative reciprocal

-1 ( -3/4) = 4/3

The slope of the line that is perpendicular is 4/3

Using the slope intercept form of a line is

y = mx+b

y = 4/3x+b

Substituting the point into this equation

-3 = 4/3(6) +b

-3 = 8+b

Subtract 8 from each side

-3-8 = b

-11 =b

y = 4/3x -11

How do you write something in slope intercept form?

Answers

Answer:

Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. You find the slope of the line and you plug that in for m. Then you find the y-intercept, which is where the line crosses the y-axis, and plug that in for b.

Eric is a lifeguard at his community pool. Before working, he likes to swim laps to exercise. Eric started by swimming 12 laps and increases the number of laps he swims by 3 laps each week. - Identify the slope modeled by the linear relationship. Explain what the slope means in context of the problem. - Identify the y-intercept modeled by the linear relationship. Explain what the y-intercept means in context of the problem.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Eric started by swimming laps = 12

And increases number of laps each week = 3 laps

If Eric spends x week for the swimming, linear equation representing the number of laps 'y' after 'x' weeks will be,

y = 12 + 3x

Slope of the equation when graphed = 3

y - intercept of the equation = 12

Therefore, Slope of the equation represents the increase in laps per week.

And y-intercept represents the number of laps at the starting.

Answers

Answer:

The constant of proportionality of the graph is 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the points on the lines are;

(400, 300), (250, 187.5), and (120, 90)

Which can be written in a tabular form as follows;

Number of US dollars   [tex]{}[/tex]                       Number of euros

120                                 [tex]{}[/tex]                        90

250                                [tex]{}[/tex]                        187.5

400                                [tex]{}[/tex]                        300

Given that the graph is a straight line graph, we can represent the graph with the straight line equation, y = m·x + c

Where;

c = The y-intercept (where the graph meets the y-axis) = 0

m = The slope = The constant of proportionality

[tex]Slope, \, m =\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]

[tex]m =\dfrac{300-90}{400-120} = \dfrac{210}{280} = 0.75[/tex]

We have, y = m·x = 0.75·x.

Therefore, the constant of proportionality of the graph = 0.75.

LM is a perpendicular bisector of NP The length of LN is 12w +7, and the length of LP is 15w 5. What is the length of LN?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]LN = 55[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]LN = 12w + 7[/tex]

[tex]LP = 15w - 5[/tex]

Required

Determine LN

Since LM is a bisector, then we have:

[tex]LP = LN[/tex] (See attachment for illustration)

[tex]15w - 5 = 12w + 7[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]15w - 12w = 5 +7[/tex]

[tex]3w = 12[/tex]

Solve for w

[tex]w = 12/3[/tex]

[tex]w = 4[/tex]

LN is calculated as thus:

[tex]LN = 12w + 7[/tex]

Substitute 4 for w

[tex]LN = 12 * 4 + 7[/tex]

[tex]LN = 48 + 7[/tex]

[tex]LN = 55[/tex]

Jay bought a painting on sale for 45% off the original price, for $27. What was the price of the painting before the sale?

Answers

Answer:

 0.55x = $27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of the painting = x

x - 45% of x = $27

    x - 0.45x = $27

         0.55x = $27

Divide both sides by 0.55

 0.55x/0.55 = $27/0.55

                  x = $49.09
