Answer:

rate of change of the cost in dollars with respect to the number of miles= 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the function y = 3.75 + 1.5(x-1)

Let us simplify this equation

y = 3.75 + 1.5(x-1)

y= 3.75+1.5x-1.5

y = 1.5x+2.25

On comparing this equation withe the slope intercept form y = mx + b, we get

m = 1.5

b = 2.25

here x represents distance in miles and y represents the cost in dollars. So, the  rate of change of the cost in dollars with respect to the number of miles would be equal to the slope of the line.

Thus, we have

rate of change of the cost in dollars with respect to the number of miles

= slope

= 1.5

An ant has a mass of 0.005 gram. A grasshopper has a mass 0.5 gram..How many ants would it take to equal the mass of 1 grasshopp
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Just divide the larger mass by the smaller.

0.5 / 0.005 = 0.5 / 0.5 * 10^-2 = 1 * 10^2 = 100

It take 100 ants to equal the mass of a grasshopper.
