Hello.

The mathematical concept of this problem is basic once you get down to it. The question asks, "How many times more minutes does Shawn listen to than Greg?"

Remember the "How many" rules:
· "How many more" suggests subtraction
· "How many times" suggests division

Let's also take a look at our opening sentence: "For every 9 minutes of music Shawn listens to, Greg listens to 4 minutes of music." This means we can set it up as a fraction, as we have the phrase "For every" in our sentence. So, let's do that.

\frac{9}{4} is our fraction;
To simplify, we need to divide our numerator (the number on the top) by our denominator (the number on the bottom).
9 / 4 = 2.5

This is our rate, or how many times more music Shawn listens to than Greg.

Your answer is: "Shawn listens to 2.5 times more music than Greg."

I hope this helps!

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

a number expressed in standard form is

a × 10^{n} : 1 ≤ a < 10 and n is an integer

given

(7.5 × 10^{7} )(2 × 10³)

= 7.5 × 2 × 10^{(7+3)}

= 15 × 10^{10}

= 1.5 × 10^{1} ×10^{10}

= 1.5 × 10^{(1+10)}

= 1.5 × 10^{11}

Find the slope of the tangent line to the graph of f at the given point. f(x) = x√ at (36,6) 1/3 1/12 3 12
Alik [6]

slope = \frac{1}{12}

the slope is the value of f' (36)

f(x) = √x = x^{\frac{1}{2} }

f'(x) = \frac{1}{2} x^{-\frac{1}{2} } = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x} }

f'(36) = \frac{1}{2(6)} = \frac{1}{12}
