Part 1:

The circumference of the smaller circle is...
C = 2*pi*r
C = 2*pi*2
C = 4*pi

The circumference of the larger circle is...
C = 2*pi*r
C = 2*pi*8
C = 16*pi

The ratio of the two circumferences is
16*pi:4*pi = 4:1
which means that for every single full rotation of the larger gear, the smaller gear will complete four rotations

If we flip things around, we will have the ratio 4:1 turn into 1:0.25 (divide both parts by 4). Now this says that for every single rotation of the smaller gear, the larger gear rotates 1/4 or 25% of the larger circle circumference.

1/4 of 360 degrees is 90 degrees

So the larger gear will rotate 90 degrees when the small gear completes a full revolution.

Answer: 90 degrees

=====================================================

Part 2:

This was pretty much answered in part 1 above. The answer here is 4. The circumference of the larger gear is 4 times larger (since the radius is 4 times larger), so the gear ratio here is 4:1.

Answer: 4

zepelin [54]

Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find percent decrease (new amount/original amount)*100

(500/625)*100

=80

to check

625*.80

=500

625*80%

=500

Sati [7]

Answer:

One month of gameplay costs $15

Step-by-step explanation:

Angie: 20 + 3x

Kenny: 20 + 2x

(20 + 3x) + (20 + 2x) = 115 --- add their costs together

(20 + 20) + (3x + 2x) = 115 --- collect like terms

40 + 5x = 115 --- simplify

5x = 75 --- subtract 40 from both sides

x = 15 --- divide both sides by 5

The final answer would be:
9x / (x-8)

The exact steps are shown in the attached picture.
Note that when dividing two fractions, we convert the division into multiplication and flip the second term.

Which of the following is correct equation for the trend line in the scatter plot? A. Y= 2/5 x -2 B. Y= 5x-1 C. Y= 5x +5 D. Y= -

Dafna11 [192]

Answer: C. Y = 5x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write, or decide on, the equation for the blue line as this line represents the trend line for this scatter plot. We will write this in slope-intercept form. See attached for a visual.

First, we will find our slope. We will use $\frac{rise}{run}$ for this since we have a graph with clear points. See attached, we count up [5] and then count to the right [1] for a slope of 5.

-> Slope = 5

Now, we will find our y-intercept. This is where the line intersects the y-axis. The line hits the y-axis at point (0, 5) giving us a y-intercept of 5.

-> Y-intercept = 5

Lastly, we will write our equation and decide on an answer.

y = mx + b

y = (5)x + (5)

Y = 5x + 5

C. Y = 5x + 5
