we know that

The cost is directly proportional to the weight, so if the weight is increased by a factor of 4, the cost will also increase by a factor of 4.

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the total cost increase by a factor of 4

Answer:

Both sides of the ratio is increased by a factor of four.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratios given:          <u> Weights </u>         <u> Costs </u>

                                     1                      2

                                     4                      8

                                     6                     12

                                    10                    20

Each cost is the double of its weight, so the base ratio is 1:2. This is where we begin.

When you increase the weight by a factor of four, this is what that side of the ratios change to:    

                   4:2                 8:8                    24:12                   40:20

This changes the base ratio to 2:1. Because the base ratio isn't meant to change, what we did to one side of the ratio we must do to the other to maintain proportionality. So that means the factor of cost increase is also four.

New ratios:

                              4:8     8:32    24:48   40:80

The length of a rectangular plot of land is 10 yards more than its width if the area of the land is 600 yd.² find the dimensions
Andrews [41]

Answer:

The dimension of the plot is 30 yd by 20 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Area = 600 yd^2

Length = width + 10

l = w + 10 ......1

Area of a rectangular plot is;

Area A = length × width

A = l × w

Substituting equation 1;

A = (w+10) × w

A = w^2 + 10w

600 = w^2 + 10w

w^2 +10w -600 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation;

w = -30 or 20

cannot be negative

w = 20 yd

l = w+10 = 20+10 = 30yd

The dimension of the plot is 30 yd by 20 yd

Mutleys journey began on a boat, 2 feet above sea level. He dove down to twelve feet below sea level and then returned to the su
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Mutley would start at 2 feet above sea level or +2, he would then travel 12 feet below sea level (-12) to then return to the surface of the ocean (0).  The integers from least to greatest:  -12, 0, 2.  Visual:

-12(dive level) * * * * * * * * * * * 0(sea level) * 2(boat)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using positive and negative integers, we can determine Mutleys journey above, below and at the surface of the ocean.  The surface of the ocean represents his 'origin' or starting point, which is 0.  The boat is above the surface or +2.  When Mutley dives below the surface, he is at a negative level of the ocean.  Think of it in terms of a number line - negative numbers are to the left of 0 and positive numbers are to the right of 0.  The further we go to the left on the number line, the lower our number.  In this case, -12 would be furthest to the left, then 0, followed by 2.
