Two halfs equal one whole. think of it like this, an orange cut in half leaves you with two halfs, put them together and you have a whole. simple. multiplying by 2 just means adding a number two times.
1 half plus one half= 2halves= 1 whole
1half x 2= 2 halves=1 whole

Becasue two halves add up to one and by saying one half times two, you are also saying one half plus one half

The ground temperature at sea level is 60 degrees F. For every 100-foot increase in elevation, the temperature rises 1/10 of one

N76 [4]

<h3>Answer: B. 62 degrees fahrenheit</h3>

====================================================

Explanation:

x = elevation in feet

y = temperature in fahrenheit

The temperature goes up 1/10 = 0.1 degrees for every 100-foot increase of elevation. So the slope is 0.1/100 = 0.001, which tells us how fast the temperature is increasing. In other words, the temperature goes up 0.001 degrees each time the elevation goes up by 1 foot.

The ground temperature is 60 degrees, which is our starting temperature. It's the value of y when x = 0. Therefore, 60 is the y intercept.

We have a slope of m = 0.001 and a y intercept of b = 60. The equation y = mx+b becomes y = 0.1x+60

Now plug in x = 2000 to find the temperature at this elevation

y = 0.001x+60

y = 0.001*2000+60

y = 2+60

y = 62
