Considering that the car does 50 miles per gallon, the linear function for the number of gallons of fuel in Jim's fuel tank, n, in terms of the number of miles x that Jim has driven since filling his tank is given by:
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.
In this problem:
- Jim's car holds 14 gallons of fuel, hence
.
- Considering it does 50 miles per gallon, and the amount in the tank will decrease, the slope is
.
Hence, the function is:

Answer:
Ben received: £140
Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount = £240
Given ratio: 5:7
It means £240 is divided into 12 parts
So 1 part will be equal to: £240/12
1 part = £20
Now given ratio is:
5:7
Multiplying each share with £20
5*(£20) : 7* (£20)
£100: £140
So according to ratio amounts:
Alex received: £100
Ben received: £140

Question:
The charge to rent a trailer is $25 for up to 2 hours plus $9 per additional hour or portion of an hour.
Find the cost to rent a trailer for 2.8 hours, 3 hours, and 8.7 hours.
Then graph all ordered pairs, (hours, cost), for the function.
Answer:
ordered pair = (2.8, 34)
ordered pair = (3, 34)
ordered pair = (8.7, 88)
Step-by-step explanation:
Charge for 2.8 hours:
$25 for 2 hours
$9 for 0.8 hour
Total = $25 + $9
Total = $34
ordered pair = (2.8, 34)
Charge for 3 hours:
$25 for 2 hours
$9 for 1 hour
Total = $25 + $9
Total = $34
ordered pair = (3, 34)
Charge for 8.7 hours:
$25 for 2 hours
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 1 hour
$9 for 0.7 hour
Total = $25 + $9 + $9 + $9 + $9 + $9 + $9 + $9
Total = $88
ordered pair = (8.7, 88)
The obtained ordered pairs are graphed, please refer to the attached graph.
Answer:
1/2 pound.
Step-by-step explanation:
Conversions: 48 oz = 3 lb
The ratio in the new pot is 3*2 tbs : 3 pounds , or just 6:3, which simplifies to 2:1. This means for every two tbs of powder, 1 lb of beef is used. This means that for every one tbs, 1/2 lb of beef is used.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A line perpendicular to the given line has a slope that is the negative inverse of the reference line.
Rewrite the given equation in the format of y=mx+b, where mi is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x = 0.
2x + 3y = 4
3y=-2x+4
y = -(2/3)X + (4/3)
The reference slope is -(2/3). The negative inverse is (3/2), which will be the slope of a perpendicular line. We can write the new line as:
y = (3/2)x + b
Any value of b will still result in a line that is perpendicular. But we want a value of b that will shift the line so that it intersects the point (-3,-5). Simply enter this point in the above equation and solve for b.
y = (3/2)x + b
-5 = (3/2)(-3) + b
-5 = -(9/2) + b
-5 = -4.5 + b
b = - 0.5
The equation of the line that is perpendicular to 2x + 3y = 4 and includes point (-3,-5) is
y = (3/2)x - 0.5
