The Falcone family is planning to drive from Syracuse, New York to Buffalo, New York. On a map with a scale of
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The Falcones have to travel at 25 m/h to make the trip in 2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer you have to use the formula to calculate speed:

speed=distance/time

distance=50 miles. The stament indicates that the distance between Syracuse and Buffalo is 1 inch and that the map has a scale of inch = 50 miles.

time=2 hours

Now, you can replace the values on the formula:

speed=50 miles/2 hours

speed=25 m/h

According to this, the answer is that the Falcones have to travel at 25 m/h to make the trip in 2 hours.

Given the inequality below:<br><br> 3x-y&gt;4<br><br> Which is the graph of the solution set?
OLga [1]

Answer:

A shaded region below a dashed line (y <3x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

For linear inequalities, we have shaded regions below or above a dashed or solid or continuous line represented by an inequality.

Their graphs are called region graphs. Those regions are only enclosed ones if before the sign of inequality it is included both variables. Like x²+y²<1, |x+y|<1, etc.

In this case what we have here is an open region, as the graph below shows.

3x-y>4 =-y>4-3x∴y<3x-4

Setting a value for x

3x-4=0

3x=4

3x/3=4/3

x=4/3 (slope)

(4/3,0)

3. The diameter of the large bird bath is 6 feet. The CGJ girls plan to put bird perches around the outside edge of the bath suc
Leokris [45]
First we need to determine the circumference of the bath.

Circumference = Diameter X pi 

6(pi) = 18.84 feet

and the girls want to put perches that are at least 3 feet between each other so you can just divide the circumference by 3 

18.84 / 3 = 6.28 so 6

If you don't understand the concept then think of it like this, if you have in total 18.84 feet and you want to place something down every 3 feet then start subtracting 3 from your total till you can't add anymore perches. 

18 - 3 = 15
15 - 3 = 12
12 - 3 = 9
9 - 3 = 6
6 - 3 = 3
3 - 3 = 0

We subtracted 3, SIX times so we added 6 perches
