Sarah multiplied the denominator by the denominator and the numerator by the numerator instead of finding the cross products. The equation should be 5x = 42, so the cost should be $8.40.

Answer:

8.4 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

The error is in the resolution of the proportion. In fact, the initial proportion is correct:

\frac{5}{3.5}=\frac{12}{x}

where x is the total cost. However, the following step of the resolution is wrong. In fact, the correct resolution is the following:

- Multiplying by x on both sides:

\frac{5x}{3.5}=12

- Multiplying by 3.5 no both sides:

5 x = 12 \cdot 3.5 \\5x = 42

And now we can find x:

x=\frac{42}{5}=8.4

So, the total cost is 8.4 dollars.

Marina CMI [18]
Answer: The expression that represents Meg's finishing time in June is "y - 10".

The problem started with Meg running in April. She had a time in April and we called it "y".

Now, Meg ran again in June. In June, she did 10 seconds faster. So it makes since that we need to subtract 10 from her April time, "y". Therefore, the expression is simply "y - 10".

The sum of the two decimals is 1 the product of these decimals is 0.25 the quotient of these two decimals is 1 what are the two
ExtremeBDS [4]
Since the quotient of the two decimal numbers is 1, that tells use that they are the same number.
Since the sum of the two numbers equals 1 and both numbers are the same, then the answer must be 1 divided by 2. or .5
the fractions would be 1/2 and 1/2

Which of the following equations best models the data plotted below?
ICE Princess25 [194]
The key with these problems is to find which function has the closest y-intercept to the graph, and then try to figure out which one best approximates the slope. 
Here are our options:
<span>A. y = x + 4 
B. y = 4x + 9 
C. y = x + 18 
D. y = 3x + 22
 
Which has the closest approximation of the y-intercept? 
The y-intercept is not directly given, but we can assume it is less than 10. 
That leaves us with A and B.

Which has the closest approximation of the slope? 
The graph, on average, seems to move up about 60 and over about 15. 
Slope = rise/run = 60/15 = 4. Although the slope isn't exactly 4, it's much closer to 4 than 1, which is slope for option A.

Therefore, the answer is 
B) y= 4x + 9

HELP! ASAP!
Novosadov [1.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

So the height is going to be x when you fold the sides up. So that's one part of the volume but for the width it was going to be 4 but since two corners were cut out with the length x the new width is going to be (4-2x). The same thing applies for the length which should be 8 inches but since two corners were removed with the length x it's now (8-2x)

v = x(4-2x)(8-2x)

Part B:

The volume can be graphed although there must be a domain restriction since the height, width, or length cannot be negative. So let's look at each part of the equation

so for the x in front it must be greater than 0 to make sense

for the (4-2x), the x must be less than 2 or else the width is  negative.

for the (8-2x) the x must be less than 4 or else the length is negative

so the domain is going to be restricted to 0 < x < 2 so all the dimensions are greater than 0

By using a graphing calculator you can see the maximum of the given equation with the domain restrictions is 0.845 which gives a volume of 12.317
