A butterfly can fly 82 feet in 4 seconds.

Distance traveled by butterfly = 82 feet.

Time taken by butterfly =4 seconds

Speed = distance /time

Speed of butterfly = 82/4 = 20.5 feet/second

A dragonfly can fly 50 feet in 2 seconds.

Distance traveled by dragonfly =50 feet.

Time taken by dragonfly =2 seconds.

Speed of dragonfly = 50/2 = 25 feet/second

So dragonfly can fly faster than the butterfly.

Difference in speed = speed of dragonfly - speed of butterfly = 25-20.5 = 4.5

So The dragonfly is 4.5 feet per second faster than butterfly.

Answer: B) The dragonfly is 4.5 feet per second faster.

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-4, -9) and (5, 3)
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving from (-4, -9) to (5, 3), x (the 'run') increases by 9 from -4 to 5, and y (the 'rise') increases by 12 from -9 to +3.  Thus, the slope of the line connecting the two points is

m = rise / run = 12/9 = 4/3

It may help to think of the change in x (9) as the horizontal leg of a right triangle and the change in y (12) as the vertical leg.  Then  

m = (vertical leg length) / (horizontal leg length) = 12/9 = 4/3

Jillian measured the distance around a small fish pond as 27 yards. Which would be a good estimate for the distance across the p
DochEvi [55]
Assuming the fish pond is round, what you're given is the circumference.
So you know that 2<span>πr = 27.
We want to solve for the diameter, or d = 2r. We should isolate that.
2r = 27/</span><span>π
2r = 8.59 yards, or ~9 yards.</span>
