The rate at which the ice changes is -3/8 lb per hr

<h3>What is the rate the ice changes?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Changes =1 3/4 lb to 1/4 lb

Time = 1/4 hr.

The rate the ice changes is calculated as:

Rate = Change/Time

So, we have

Rate = (1/4 lb - 1 3/4 lb)/(1/4 hr)

Evaluate the difference

Rate = (-1 1/2 lb)/(1/4 hr)

Evaluate the quotient

Rate = -3/8 lb per hr

Hence, the rate at which the ice changes is -3/8 lb per hr

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A + B = 127

5.80A + 4.25B = 657.55

Solve with substitution.

5.80A + 4.25(127 − A) = 657.55

5.80A + 539.75 − 4.25A = 657.55

1.55A = 117.80

A = 76

In computer technology, a kilobyte is 2^10 bytes in size . A gigabyte is 2^30 bytes in size . The size of a terabyte is the prod

melomori [17]

Kilobyte = 2^10 bytes
gigabyte = 2^30 bytes
terabyte is the product of a kilobyte and a gigabyte....so we multiply

2^10 * 2^30 = 2^(10 + 30) = 2^40 <== a terabyte

** exponent rule : a^b * a^c = a^(b + c)
