Minutes lost hourly is x/y.
One week has 24 * 7 = 168 hours.
168x / y would be minutes lost weekly, and (168/60) (x / y) = (42/15)(x/y) would be hours lost weekly.

Answer:

10080y/x hours

Explanation:

The rate = x/y

x is in minutes

y is in hours.

How many hours will it lose in one week.

Converting one week to minutes.

One week has 7 days: a day has 24 hours.

In one week we have 24×7= 168 hours

60 minutes make one hour : in 168 hours we have

60×168=10080 minutes

Hours lost at the same rate = total minutes/ rate

= 10080/(x/y)

Hours lost= 10080y/x hours

Tamiku [17]

The rule used to translate the image is (x,y) \to (x-8, y+11).

In this question we are going to speak of point translations. Vectorially speaking, a translation between two points is defined by this expression:

L'(x,y) = L(x,y) + T(x,y)  (1)

Where:

  • L(x,y) - Original point.
  • T(x,y) - Translation vector.
  • L'(x,y) - Translated point.

If we know that L(x,y) = (7, -3) and L'(x,y) = (-1, 8), then the translation vector is:

T(x,y) = L'(x,y) - L(x,y)

T(x,y) = (-1,8)-(7,-3)

T(x,y) = (-8, 11)

Therefore, the rule used to translate the image is (x,y) \to (x-8, y+11).
