Answer:
C. One-fourth mile over thirty-six seconds = 25 miles per hour.
We have been given that an elephant can run one over four of a mile in 36 seconds.
To find elephant's rate in miles per hour, we will convert our given time in hours as shown below:
Therefore, option C is the correct choice.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
For answer A it is stretching the graph of function f by a factor of 15.
For answer C and D it is changing the function itself and that is not what the question is asking.
Let's call the two numbers
and
.
Given these variables, we can say:
, based on the first sentence in the problem.
Also, remember that the reciprocal of a number is simply 1 divided by the number. Thus, we can say that:

To solve, we can simply substitute
in for
in the second equation and solve.


- Get terms on the left side to a common denominator for easier addition


- Cross multiplication (
)


- Subtract
from both sides of the equation

- Factor left side of the equation

Now, notice that we have found two solutions, but the problem is only asking for one. This <em>likely </em>means that one of our solutions is extraneous. Let's take a look. Remember that the smaller positive number is equal to 14 less than the larger number. However,
,
Since
is not positive in this case,
is not a solution.
Thus,
is our only solution. In this case,
,
which means that the smaller number is 14 and the larger number is 28.
Answer:
c. $10.56
Step-by-step explanation:
$3.30 x 4 = $13.20 x 0.20 (20%) = $2.64
$13.20 - $2.64 = $10.56
The median is 1.5, hope this was helpful :)
