Answer:
Find the ratio of hops to distance traveled (1: 1.5), then multiply 150 by 1.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
A child is hopping along a sidewalk. The ratio table below shows the comparison between the number of hops and the distance traveled. Hopping Number of hops Distance traveled (ft) 20 30 50 75 80 120 150 ?
Which statement correctly explains how to find the distance traveled after 150 hops? Subtract 120 – 75 to get 45, then add that number to 120. Add 30 + 75 + 120. Find the ratio of hops to distance traveled (1:1.5), then multiply 150 by 1.5. Find the ratio of hops to distance traveled (1:1.5), then divide 150 by 1.5.
Solution:
The table is:
No. of hops Distance traveled
20 30
50 75
80 120
150 ?
From the table, for every 30 increase in the number of hops, the distance travelled increase by 45 feet
Find the slope of the line:
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
m=slope of the line
y2-y1 = change in distance travelled
x-2 - x1 = Change in number of hops
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
m = (75-30) / (50-20)
=45 / 30
m = 1.5
Then, the line is:
y = 1.5x
We substitute x = 150
y = 1.5x
y = 1.5 × 150
y = 225
Lets set the two numbers as 'a' and 'b'
Now let us set up some equations based on the information:
- sum of two numbers 49 --> a + b = 49
- difference of the two numbers is 15 --> a -b =15
Equations
a + b = 49 -- equation 1
a - b = 15 -- equation 2
Solve:
(equation 1) + (equation 2)
2a = 64
a = 32 -- equation 3
(equation 3)'s value of a into (equation 2)
32 - b = 15
b = 17
The products of 'a' and 'b' is 544
Hope that helps!
B) -8 + (-12)
Because you just have to use the distributive property and distribute -1 to (8+12)
You had the right idea using the Pythagorean theorem to solve for b.
Problem is for that triangle to work, the 5 and the 2√2 would have to switch places. The length of a leg cannot be larger than the length of the hypotenuse for it to truly be a right triangle.
Pythagorean theorem only works for the right triangles. Only way to "solve this problem would be to bring in complex numbers.
5² + b² = (2√2)²
25 + b² = 2²(√2)²
25 + b² = 4(2)
25 + b² = 8
b² = 8 - 25
b² = - 17
b = √-17
b= (√17i)
Then the problem with THIS is a measurement/distance cannot be negative... which goes against exactly what that complex number i is.
