Answer:

Option D is correct.

If exercise time = 20 mins,

Body fat = 23.75%

Step-by-step explanation:

After plotting a graph of the variables given, with body fat on the x-axis and exercise time on the y-axis.

The equation of the graph was obtained to be

Y = -1.931X + 65.936

If exercise time = 20 mins,

Y = 20

20 = -1.98X + 66.936

-1.98X = -46.936

X = 23.7 = 23.75% From the options.

The problem can also be solved by doing the least squares regression line method, but this is more straight forward.

Jaime has 8/10 of a candy bar left over. He wants to split it into 1/3 pieces.
Valentin [98]

Answer:

2 pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

To identify how many pieces he can split with 8/10 of a candy bar, divide 8/10 by 1/3.

<u>Divide 8/10 by 1/3:</u>

\frac{8}{10} / \frac{1}{3}=

<u>Find the Ricipricol, then flip the sign:</u>

\frac{8}{10} (\frac{3}{1} )=

<u>Multiply:</u>

<u />\frac{8}{10} (\frac{3}{1})=\frac{24}{10} =\frac{2.4}{1}

2.4 represents how many pieces of chocolate he can make with 8/10 of a candy bar.

However, 2.4 pieces can't be made, therefore he can only make 2 <u>full</u> pieces.
