Answer:

Part A:

For J.K. Rowling: 17.5pages/hour

For R.L. Stine: 15pages/hour

Part B:

J.K. Rowling will finish the book first.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

The rate of change in this case represents how much changes a variable in a specific period of time. The variable is the amount of pages.

You have to calculate the amount of pages that J.K. Rowling and R.L. Stine read in one hour.

For J.K. Rowling, 35 pages every 2 hours can be written as:

If you divide 35/2 you can obtain the amount of pages in one hour:

17.5pages/hour (17.5 pages per hour)

For R.L. Stine, 45 pages every 3 hours can be written as:

If you divide 45/3 you can obtain the amount of pages in one hour:

15pages/hour (15 pages per hour)

Part B:

In order to calculate who will finish the hunger games first, you have to calculate the amount of time needed to finish the book.

For J.K. Rowling:

You have to multiply 355 pages by  (because in one hour she reads 17.5 pages) to obtain the amount of hours

For R.L. Stine:

You have to multiply 355 pages by  (because in one hour he reads 15 pages) to obtain the amount of hours

So, J.K. Rowling will finish the book first because she needs less time than R.L. Stine.

Solve for the value of X.
Mkey [24]
The answer is 40°
i will tell you how,
Total angle sum of any triangle is 180°
∠A + ∠B  + ∠E = 180°
70° + 80° + ∠E = 180°
solve for ∠E
∠E = 30°
Now solve use ∠BDE,
∠B + ∠D + ∠E = 180°
20° + 90° + 30° + x = 180°           (in triangle DEB, ∠E = 30 + x ) (∠D is 90°)
solve for x
there fore, x = 40°
