For glass, calculate the average rate of change between 1970 and 1980. Then interpret what this value means.
a.
From 1970 to 1980, the number of pounds of glass per person per day decreased by 0.002 per year.
c.
From 1970 to 1980, the number of pounds of glass per person per day increased by 0.002 per year.
b.
From 1970 to 1980, the number of pounds of glass per person per day decreased by 0.11 per year.
d.
From 1970 to 1980, the number of pounds of glass per person per day increased by 0.11 per year.

Answers

Answer 1

The correct option regarding the average rate of change for glass is given by:

c. From 1970 to 1980, the number of pounds of glass per person per day increased by 0.002 per year.

What is the average rate of change of a function?

It is given by the change in the output divided by the change in the input.

Looking at the table, in the 10 years from 1970 to 1980, the amount of glass changed from 0.34 pounds to 0.36 pounds, hence the rate is given by:

r = (0.36 - 0.34)/10 = 0.02/10 = 0.002.

Which means that option c is correct.

8(4p+5)=8(5p-4) what’s the answer

Answers

Answer:

p= 9

Step-by-step explanation:

p= 9

Answer:

p=9

Step-by-step explanation:

8*4p+8*5

32p+8*5

32p+40

8(5p-4)

multiply the numbers:8*5=40

8*5p-8*4

Multiply the number 8*4=32

40p-8*4

40p-32

32p+40=40p-32

Subtract 40p from both sides:

32+40-40=40p-32-40

Simplify:

-8p=-72

divide both sides by: -8

-8p/-8=-27/-8

A toll road company has two plans for customers. One plan charges $10 per month for rental of a transponder (a box that identifies your car on the toll roads) plus $0.60 per mile driven. The second plan does not require that you rent a transponder. Instead, it charges customers $0.75 per mile driven on the toll road. Find the minimum number of miles you would need to drive in a month to make the first deal a better deal.

Answers

Answer:

The minimum number of miles you would need to drive in a month to make the first deal a better deal is 66.6 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first deal to be a better deal it has to cost less than the second plan and you can write an equation in which the first plan has a lower cost than the second one:

10+0.60m<0.75m, where:

m is the number of miles driven

Now, you can solve for m:

10<0.75m-0.60m

10<0.15m

10/0.15<m

m>66.6

According to this, the answer is that the minimum number of miles you would need to drive in a month to make the first deal a better deal is 66.6 miles.

Answer:

1- Let x = original price  then

x - .20x = 48

x(1 - .20) = 48

x(.80) = 48

x = 48/.80

x = $60

2-Let "x" be the number of lessons.

240 - 15x = 0

240 = 15x  

x = 16 lessons

3-divide equation by 2:

(2W-4) + W = 32

2W - 4 + W = 32

2W + W = 32 + 4

3W = 36

W = 36/3

W = 12 cm

Find the Length using L = 2W-4:

L = 2(12) - 4

L = 20 cm

What is the fraction?

In Mathematics, fractions are represented as a numerical value, which defines a part of a whole. A fraction can be a portion or section of any quantity out of a whole, where the whole can be any number, a specific value, or a thing.

Given that, the recipes call for 3/8 cup of water for oats and 1/4 cup of water for dried fruit.

You need to add up the quantities of water needed first. That will then tell if she has enough water.

Convert the fractions to decimals then add them up:

3/8 = 0.375

1/4 = 0.25

= 0.25 + 0.375

= 0.625 cups of water is required.

This is less than the 1 cup she has so she has enough water to make the snack.

No, Lynn do not have enough water to make her snack.
