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.

¿Como encontrar los dos puntos de una gráfica?
blagie [28]
Si estas haciendo una linea recta vas a necesitar dos puntos. Los encuentras poniendo un numero por x en la formula para que te de un numero, y. Y te va dar (x, y). Lo haces otravez con otro valor de x y ese te va dar (x2, y2). Y luego los conectas con una linea.

I am so confused how am I supposed to do this
solniwko [45]
Rise over run, -2/4 or -1/2 so the slope is -1/2 or -0.5. (View picture) And the slope is negative because you are going down wards \ and the "rise" is going down.
