Time it took Hector to complete 18 miles is given by 18 / 12 = 1.5 hours.

Let the time when Wanda will catch up to Hector be t, then, the distance covered by Hector at the time they meet is 18 + 12t and the distance covered by Wanda at the time they meet is 16t.

Then, 18 + 12t = 16t
16t - 12t = 18
4t = 18
t = 18 / 4 = 4.5

Therefore, Wanda will catch up with Hector after 4.5 hours.

Agata [3.3K]
If k is a constant of proportionality then we know from last week that
512= k ·32 so k=512/32=16;

This week 
448= k · amount he saved
448=16· amount he saved
amount saved=448/16=28

Answer:

the possible line of best fit equation is;

y = 10x + 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the approximate line of best fit

Mathematically, we have the general line of best fit as

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

By joining the given lines, we can see that the y-intercept values fall a little below 30

This means that the possible y-intercept value is 24

Now, to get the slope value, we select any two points and use the slope equation

We can have (3,50) and (6,80)

Using the slope equation;

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (80-50)/(6-3) = 30/3 = 10

The equation is thus;

y = 10x + 24
