Using proportions, it is found that it takes 886 more mini-bears than regular-bears to have the same weight as one super-bear.

<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. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct(when both increase or both decrease) or inverse proportional(when one increases and the other decreases, or vice versa), can be built to find the desired measures in the problem, or equations to find these measures.

10 mini-bears weights to 12.1 grams, hence the weight of a mini-bear is of:

12.1/10 = 1.21 grams.

10 regular bears weights to 23.1 grams, hence the weight of a regular bear is of:

23.1/10 = 2.31 grams.

1 super bear weights to 2250 grams, hence the proportion between the <u>weight of a super bear and the weight of a mini-bear</u> is:

2250/1.21 = 1860.

The proportion between the <u>weight of a super bear and the weight of a regular bear</u> is:

2250/2.31 = 974.

The difference of proportions is given by:

1860 - 974 = 886.

It takes 886 more mini-bears than regular-bears to have the same weight as one super-bear.

Does this graph represent a function? Why or why not?

ExtremeBDS [4]

A Function is defined as the relation between the input and the output where one input can have only one output

When graphing functions, the x-axis denotes the inputs and the y-axis denotes the output of the function

Looking at the graph, we see that for one input (point on the x-axis) we have only one output (point on the y-axis)

Hence, we can say that this graph represents a function

A plane flies 15 miles in 20 seconds. How long would it take the plane to cover 30 miles?

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:it would take the plane 40 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

if you multiply by two then you would be able to get 30

like 15 times 2 and since it’s 15 miles to 20 seconds or 15:20 you would have to multiply by the same number.

Write the equation of the line of best fit using the slope-intercept formula $y = mx + b$. Show all your work, including the poi

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

$y=\frac{5}{7}x+\frac{135}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You only need two points on a line to find the equation for that line.

We are going to use 2 points that cross that line or at least come close to. You don't have to use the green points... just any point on the line will work. You might have to approximate a little.

I see ~(67.5,67.5) and ~(64,65).

Now once you have your points, we need to find the slope.

You may use $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ where $(x_1,y_1) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2)$ are points on the line.
