it takes Joey 1/6 of an hour write one thank you card. how many cards can he write in 3/4 of an hour?

1/6 of an hour is equivalent to 10/60 or 10 minutes.
To find out how much 3/4 of an hour is, change the denominator of both fraction so that they match up. We can make this easier by multiplying 4 by 15 to get 60 (hence an hour) and since we multiplied 4 by 15, we also need to multiply 3 by 15 which gets us 45.
We end up with 10/60 and 45/60 or 10 minutes and 45 minutes.
Half of 10 is 5 so we know we'll have a decimal of .5 in our answer.
4 times 10 equals 40 and 40 plus 5 equals 45, so 4.5.

If the function f(x) = -1/2x - 7 were graphed, which of the following would be true?

Fittoniya [83]

ANSWER

D. As the x-values increase, the y-values would decrease

EXPLANATION

The given function is
$y = - \frac{1}{2} x - 7$

The slope of this function is
$m = - \frac{1}{2}$

Since the slope is negative, there is a negative or an inverse relationship between x and y.

As the values of x increases, the values of y decreases.

Also, as the values of x decreases, the values of y increases.

The first option is not true because as x is becoming bigger and bigger negatively, y will become positive.

For instance, when
$x = - 40$
$y = - \frac{1}{2} ( - 40) - 7$

This implies that,

$y = 20 - 7 = 13$

Options B is obviously not true because the function has a negative relationship between x and y.

Option C is also false because, x can be positive since it is the independent variable.

See graph

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

The graph shows how the length of a buildings shadow at a certain time of day is related to the height of the building.

Artyom0805 [142]

A. the graph represents a relation because it contains ordered pairs (x,y). It is also a function because there are no repeating x values.

B. (0,0) (8,6)
slope = (6 - 0 ) / (8 - 0) = 6/8 = 3/4
so ur equation is : y = 3/4x or f(x) = 3/4x <===

C. the variable x represents the height of the building and the variable y (or f(x)) represents the total length of the shadow

Lily bought 25.29 pounds of grapefruit. The lightest grapefruit weighed 1.4 pounds. The heaviest grapefruit weighed 1.6 pounds.

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven that the lightest is 1.4 and the heaviest is 1.6, this implies that ALL the fruit must weigh between 1.4 and 1.6.

This also implies that the average weight of the fruit must also be between 1.4 lb and 1.6 lb.

recall that : average weight = total weight / number of fruit

we are given than total weight = 25.29 lb, so

average weight = 25.29 / number of fruit

Just go down the choices and test which choice gives an average weight between 1.4 and 1.6 lbs.

Choice A: number of fruit = 19

average = 25.29 / 19 = 1.33 (outside of range, not the answer)

Choice B: number of fruit = 17

average = 25.29 / 17 =1.49 (within range , possible answer)

Choice C: number of fruit = 10

average = 25.29 / 10 = 2.529 (outside of range, not the answer)

Choice D: number of fruit = 50

average = 25.29 / 50 = 0.5058 (outside of range, not the answer)

From the above, we can see that only B gives an average between 1.4 and 1.6 lb.
