Answer:

$1,593.75\ lb$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$1\ pound=16\ ounces$

so

by proportion

Convert $25,500\ ounces$ to pounds

$\frac{1}{16} \frac{lb}{oz} =\frac{x}{25,500} \frac{lb}{oz}\\ \\x=25,500/16\\ \\x=1,593.75\ lb$

The answer is 25,500÷16=1593.75 so 25,500 ounces is the same as 1593.75 lb

A biologist has been observing a tree's height. This type of tree typically grows by 0.22 feet each month. Fifteen months into t

Lyrx [107]

Data:

x: number of months

y: tree's height

Tipical grow: 0.22

Fifteen months into the observation, the tree was 20.5 feet tall: x=15 y=20.5ft (15,20.5)

In this case the slope (m) or rate of change is the tipical grow.

m=0.22

To find the line's slope-intercep equation you use the slope (m) and the given values of x and y (15 , 20.5) in the next formula to find the y-intercept (b):

$\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ 20.5=0.22(15)+b \\ 20.5=3.3+b \\ 20.5-3.3=b \\ 17.2=b \end{gathered}$

Use the slope(m) and y-intercept (b) to write the equation:

$\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ \\ y=0.22x+17.2 \end{gathered}$ A) This line's slope-intercept equation is: y=0.22x+17.2

B) To find the height of the tree after 29 months you substitute in the equation the x for 29 and evaluate to find the y:

$\begin{gathered} y=0.22(29)+17.2 \\ y=6.38+17.2 \\ \\ y=23.58 \end{gathered}$ Then, after 29 months the tree would be 23.58 feet in height

C) In this case as you have the height and need to find the number of moths you substitute the y for 29.96feet and solve the equation for x, as follow:

$\begin{gathered} 29.96=0.22x+17.2 \\ 29.96-17.2=0.22x \\ 12.76=0.22x \\ \frac{12.76}{0.22}=x \\ \\ 58=x \end{gathered}$ Then, after 58 months the tree would be 29.96feet tall

Could someone help me understand how to solve this?

Answer:

Amount in 4% account: $550

Step-by-step explanation:

Use simple interest formula $I=P\cdot r\cdot t,$ where

I = interest

P = principal

r = rate (as decimal)

t = time.

<u>4% account:</u>

$P_1=x\\ \\r_1=0.04\\ \\t_1=1,$

then

$I_1=x\cdot 0.04\cdot 1=0.04x$

<u>5% account:</u>

$P_2=1,500-x\\ \\r_2=0.05\\ \\t_2=1,$

then

$I_2=(1,500-x)\cdot 0.05\cdot 1=0.05(1,500-x)$

You have earned $69.50 in total, so

$I_1+I_2=69.50\\ \\0.04x+0.05(1,500-x)=69.50\\ \\4x+5(1,500-x)=6,950\\ \\4x+7,500-5x=6,950\\ \\4x-5x=6,950-7,500\\ \\-x=-550\\ \\x=550\\ \\1,500-x=1,500-550=950$

Amount in 4% account: $550

Amount in 5% account: $950

Answer:

$y=\frac{11}{20}x+6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two points are given

x = number of minutes

y = length of the lin

$(x_{1},y_{1} )$ ⇒ (0, 6)

$(x_{2},y_{2} )$ ⇒ (20, 17)

We need to find the equation that represents the relationship between x, y.

Solution:

Using slope formula to find the slope of the equation of the line.

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Substitute $(x_{1},y_{1} )$ = (0, 6) and $(x_{2},y_{2} )$ = (20, 17) in above equation.

$m=\frac{17-6}{20-0}\\m=\frac{11}{20}$

So, slope of the line $m = \frac{11}{20}$

Using point slope formula.

$(y-y_{1})=m(x-x_{1})$ ------------(1)

Where, m = slope of the line

Substitute $(x_{1},y_{1} )$ ⇒ (0, 6) and $m = \frac{11}{20}$ in equation 1.

$(y-6)=\frac{11}{20} (x-0)$

$y-6=\frac{11}{20}x$

Add 6 both side of the equation.

$y-6+6=\frac{11}{20}x+6$

$y=\frac{11}{20}x+6$

Therefore, the equation that represents the relationship between x and y is written as:

$y=\frac{11}{20}x+6$
