179 and 180

consecutive numbers have a difference of 1 between them

let the 2 numbers be n and n + 1, then

n + n + 1 = 359

2n + 1 = 359 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

2n = 358 ( divide both sides by 2 )

n = 179 and n + 1 = 179 + 1 = 180

the 2 pages are 179 and 180

A teacher has 3 hours to grade all the papers submitted by the 35 students in her class. She gets through the first 5 papers in

Andreyy89

So, she has 3hrs to grade all papers, for 35 students.. alrite.

the first 5, she does them in 30minutes.. what's the speed rate? well, 5/30 or 1/6

now, she has still 2 hours and a half, or 150 minutes, to do the remaining 30 papers... she has to work at a rate of 30/150 then... which is 1/5 simplified.

now if we take 1/6 as the 100%, what is 1/5 in percentage then?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
rate&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
\frac{1}{6}&100\\\\
\frac{1}{5}&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{1}{5}}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{1}{6}\cdot \cfrac{5}{1}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{5}{6}=\cfrac{100}{x}
\\\\\\
x=\cfrac{6\cdot 100}{5}\implies x=120$

so 1/5 is 120% in relation to 1/6... meaning the rate of 1/5 she needs to move through, namely 1 paper every 5 minutes, is 20% faster than 1/6.

Write a linear function f with the<br> values f(0) = 6 and f(4) = -6.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

f(x) = -3x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The general linear function is;

y = mx + b

it can also be written as (x , f(x))

f(x) = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

so we have the points ;

(0,6) and (4,-6)

So we have;

for f(0) to be 6, it means that the y-intercept b is 6

This is because the value of x at the y-intercept is 0

So we have this as;

f(x) = mx + 6

Now, let’s substitute the other point so as to get m

For the other point;

x = 4 and f(x) = -6

that means;

-6 = 4m + 6

4m = -6-6

4m = -12

m = -12/4

m = -3

So we have the equation as;

f(x) = -3x + 6
