Answer:
Part a)
Part b) The total cost is
Part c) see the explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Part a) Write a linear equation to represent this situation
Define the variables
Let
x ----> the number of hours
y ----> the total cost in dollars
we know that
The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to
where
m is the slope or the unit rate
b is the y-intercept or initial value (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)
In this problem we have that
The unit rate or slope is equal to
The y-intercept or initial value is equal to
substitute
Part b) Use the equation to find the total cost to rent skis from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm
Remember that
3:00 pm=15:00
so
from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm, the total hours is equal to
15:00 -8:30=6:30=6.5 h
For x=6.5 h
substitute in the linear equation and solve for y
Part c) What does your answer mean in context of the problem?
we have that
y=220.25
That means -----> The total cost to rent skis for 6.5 hours is equal to $220.25
To solve this problem, we have to use the area of both gauze or the dimensions on each gauze and compare them. we can see that the sheets are not similar as they have different areas.
<h3>Area of Rectangle</h3>The area of a rectangle is given as the product between the length and it's width.
Data;
- Length = 9in
- Area = 45in^2
- width = ?
- length 2 = 4in
- width 2 = 3in
In the first gauze, the area is given as 45in^2 and we have value of the length. To find the width of the first gauze can be calculated as
We can see that the width are not equal so is their length.
But if we would truly compare them, the accurate way to do that is by their area
The area of the second gauze is given by
From the above calculations, we can see that the sheets are not similar as they have different areas.
