It takes them 12 seconds to eat the whole sausage.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed is the rate of change of distance.

Analysis:

If kitten eats x cm, then puppy will eat 14 - x cm

speed = d/t

speed of kitten = 1/2

speed of puppy = 2/3

1/2 = x/t

2/3 = 14 - x / t

t = 2x--------1

2t = 3(14 - x ) -------- 2

substitute t in equation 2

2(2x) = 3(14 - x)

4x = 42 - 3x

7x = 42

x = 42/7 = 6cm

substitute value of x in equation 1

t = 2(60 = 12 seconds.

In conclusion, it takes the both animals 12 seconds to finish the sausage.

The current in a simple electric circuit varies inversely as the resistance. If the current is 20amps when the resistance is 5 o
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

0.5amps

Step-by-step explanation:

I is inversely proportional to resistance

I = k/R

k = I/ R

k = 20/5

k = 4

This means that, I = 4/R

So, when R = 8ohms,

I = 4/8

 =0.5amps

Damian works after school. Each
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

f(x) = 12x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We need a linear equation in the slope-intercept form.

y = mx + b

where y = total pay, m = hourly salary, x = number of hours worked, and b = y-intercept, or initial value

Let's look in the table.

1 hour: $22

2 hours: $34

The difference in pay between 1 hour and 2 hours is $34 - $22 = $12.

The difference in time between 1 hour and 2 hours is 1 hour.

In 1 hour he earns $12. That means the slope is 12.

We know he earns $22 for working a total of 1 hour.

Start at 1 hour and $22 on the table.

Subtract 1 hour from 1 hour to get 0 hours.

Subtract $12 form $22 to get $10.

That means for 0 hours he gets $10. b = 10

The equation is

y = 12x + 10

In function form, we have:

f(x) = 12x = 10
