Using proportions, it is found that the coordinates of point T are given as follows: T(5,2).

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, point T partitions the segment DF in a 2:1 ratio, hence:

T - D = \frac{2}{2+1}(F - D)

T - D = \frac{2}{3}(F - D)

This is applied for both coordinates, hence, for the x-coordinate:

x - 1 = \frac{2}{3}(7 - 1)

x - 1 = 4

x = 5

For the y-coordinate:

y - 4 = \frac{2}{3}(1 - 4)

y - 4 = -2

y = 2.

Hence, the coordinates of point T are: T(5,2).

Amirah's family is driving to her uncle's house. The family travels 383.5 miles between 10:15 am and 4:45 pm. Calculate the fami
ddd [48]

Answer:

The family's average rate of travel for the day was 59.0 MPH.

Step-by-step explanation:

From 10:15AM to 4:45PM, they travelled a distance of 383.5 miles and a total of 6 hours and 30 minutes.

There are 60 minutes in an hour. 30 minutes translates into 1/2 an hour or .5

So, 6.5 hours and a total distance of 383.5 miles.

Velocity (MPH) = Distance (in miles) / Time (in hours)

MPH means Miles Per Hour

Variables:

Velocity (MPH) = x

Distance (in miles) = 383.5

Time (in hours) = 6.5

Plug in the variables into the formula

x = 383.5 / 6.5

Divide

x = 59.0 MPH

Hello could you help me please?
Ilya [14]

Answer:

C. 6

Step-by-step explanation:

So it says read less thann 25 books --> that means the numbers are 13,14,14,16,19,21,21,22,23, and 24 --> a total of 10 numbers

Then it says read more than 35 books --> that means the numbers are 37,41,42,43 --> a total of 4 numbers

Now, it says how many more --> that means you subtract 4 by 10 = 10 - 4 = 6

Therefore the answer is 6 more students read less than 25 books than read more than 35 books.

Find y when x=14 if y varies directly with x2, and y =72 when x=6
Art [367]
6 times 12 is 72 so 14 times 12 would be 168 if that is what you are looking for. So for that y=168 :-)
