1 point) According to one mathematical model, the average life expenctancy for American men born in 1900 was 55 years. Life expe

ctancy has increased by about 0.2 year for each birth year after 1900. If this trend continues, for which birth year will the average life expentancy be 73 years?
a) Write an equation to model the problem. Let t represent the number of years after 1900. For example, t = 12 would represent the year 1912.

b) Solve the equation, then answer the question given above. (Note: You are asked for a year, not a value for t.)

  a)

Let t represents number of years after 1900

so that means for 1900, value of t is 0

We are given point as (0,55)

and it says that life expectancy increases by 0.2

so that means slope,m=0.2

equation of line is y=mt +b

or y=0.2t +b

now we use point (0,55)

55 =0.2(0) +b

55 =0+b

55= b

so b=55

plug it back into the equation,we get

y=0.2t +55

b)

We are given y=73

so we plug it into the equation we got in part a and solve for t

y=0.2t +55

73 =0.2t +55

73-55 =0.2t

18 =0.2t

18/0.2 =t

90 =t

so t=90

This means the birth year =1900+t =1900+90 =1990

Dovator [93]
<span>Given that there are 50 campers at day camp and 10 counselors.

The ratio of campers to counselors as a fraction is given by \frac{50}{10}.

Using equivalent fractions we have \frac{50\div10}{10\div10} = \frac{5}{1}.

Thus, the related rate and unit rate to the ratio of campers to counselors is given by \frac{5}{1}.

The unit rate indicates that for every counselor, there are 5 campers.</span>

The coffee shop owner explains that she will work 12 hours more than you do if you get the job. She will work 50 hours edch week
MrMuchimi

Answer:

The owner says that she will work 12 hours more than you if you get the job.

We know that she works 50 hours each week.

then, knowing that she works 50 hours per week and that she works 12 hours more than you, you have that, if H is the number of hours that you work per week, you have:

H + 12 = 50

Here says that the number of hours that you work, plus 12 hours, is equal to the number of hours that the owner works.

H = 50 - 12 = 38

This means that you would work 38 hours per week.
