Hi there!

Craig's reason is not reasonable because when you add fractions you have to find equivalent fractions.

The total distance in miles would be 1 1/8 miles.

By using a number line, line up the fractions, so then you could add them both.

Hope this helps :)

This table shows a value that represents an exponential function what is the average rate of change for this function for the in
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Option A is correct, i.e. 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is the table of x&y relationship which represents an exponential function.

The average rate of change for a function can be found using the following formula:-

F_average = { f(b) - f(a) } / (b-a)

Given a = 3 and b = 5.

From the table, f(3) = 8 and f(5) = 32.

So, F_average = (32-8)/(5-3)

F_average = 24/2 = 12.

Hence, option A is correct, i.e. 12.

Aimi is making Valentine’s Day cards for everyone in her class. She plans to use a whole sheet of paper for each of her 6 closes
DaniilM [7]
34 - 6 = 28
28 x 8 = 224

After making the 6 whole sheet of paper cards for her closest friends Aimi will have 28 pieces of paper left.

Since she wants to use 1/8 of a sheet per valentine (think of it as one piece of paper can make 8 valentines) you can do 28 pieces of paper multiplied by 8 which gives you 224 valentines.
