First of all, if you are traveling more, then you will have to take more time to get there. So since the answer A is less than the original number 50 you can rule that choice out. Now to solve, you will put 50 over 55 such as this 50/55. This represents miles/minutes. So next you will put 75/x since we are trying to solve for x (minutes). Now our problem looks like this 50/55 times 75/x. To solve the answer you will need to cross multiply. You will multiply 75 and 55 together to get 4,125. (This will be your numerator, or top number) Next you will multiply 50 and x, this gives you 50. (This will be your denominator, or bottom number. Now you have 4,125/50. Divide your two numbers and you get 82.5! The answer is D. 82.5! Hope I helped!

Which equation describes a line parallel to y= 4x+ 5 through point (-2, 1)?

Tema [17]

Hi there!

For a line to be PARALLEL, it must contain the same slope.

The given line has a slope of 4, so we can use the point-slope formula to solve:

$\large\boxed{y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)}$

y1 = y-coordinate of given point

x1 = x-coordinate of given point

m = slope

Plug in the values:

$y - 1 = 4(x - (-2))\\\\y - 1 = 4(x + 2)$

Simplify:

$y - 1 = 4x + 8\\\\\boxed{y = 4x + 9}$

A carrot has

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

B- For an equal number of servings, the bananas will have three times as much sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

A carrot has 5 grams of sugar per serving. A banana has 15 grams of sugar per serving. Which statement is true?

A- There will always be more sugar in 10 servings of carrots than in a smaller number of servings of bananas.

B- For an equal number of servings, the bananas will have three times as much sugar.

C- For an equal number of servings, the bananas will always have 10 more grams of sugar.

D- The amount of sugar in two servings of carrots is 30 grams.

Verify each statement

A- There will always be more sugar in 10 servings of carrots than in a smaller number of servings of bananas

The statement is False

Because

In 10 servings of carrots there are 10(5)=50 grams of sugar

In 5 servings of banana there are 5(15)=75 grams of sugar

therefore

50 g < 75 g

B- For an equal number of servings, the bananas will have three times as much sugar

The statement is true

Because

In one serving of carrots there are 5 grams of sugar

In one serving of bananas there are 15 grams of sugar

The ratio of grams of sugar in a serving of bananas to grams of sugar in a serving of carrots is 15:5

Simplify

3:1

therefore

An equal number of servings, the bananas will have three times as much sugar

C- For an equal number of servings, the bananas will always have 10 more grams of sugar.

The statement is False

Because

In 10 servings of carrots there are 10(5)=50 grams of sugar

In 10 servings of banana there are 10(15)=150 grams of sugar

$50+10\neq 150$

D- The amount of sugar in two servings of carrots is 30 grams

The statement is False

Because

In 2 servings of carrots there are 2(5)=10 grams of sugar

$10\neq 30$
