The rockets rate of change in miles per second is:
(5 - 1)/(2.5*60 - 30) = 1/30 miler per second or 0.033
the rockets rate of change in miles per minute is:
(5 - 1)/(2.5 - 30/60) = 2 miles per minute
Answer:
375 gallons in 25 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
first decide how many gallons in one minute
300/20 = 15 gallons in one minute
next multiply 15 x 25 minutes. You get 375 gallons in 25 minutes

From any proportion, we get another proportion by inverting the extremes (or the means):

= k
so we have:
2x=3k
2x+y=2k therefore:
3k+y=2k
y= - k
x=


= -

The corect answer is A. -3/2
or:

From any proportion, we get another proportion by inverting the extremes and the means:

We use a property of proportions:

where a, d are extremes and b,c are means and the product of the extremes equals the product of the means (a*d=b*c),
so we have

or

(you can check this also by "the product of the extremes equals the product of the means")



3y = - 2x
