Talja [164]

Answer:

135 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y -----> the number of pages to finish reading the book

x ----> the number of hours

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

where

m is the unit rate or slope of the linear equation

b is the y-intercept or initial value

In this problem we have

<em>Xanthia</em>

$m=100\ pages/hour$

$b=225\ pages$

$y=-100x+225$ ----> the slope is negative because is a decreasing function

For y=0

substitute and solve for x

$0=-100x+225$

$100x=225$

$x=2.25\ hours$ ---> Xanthia's time to finish reading the book

<em>Molly</em>

$m=50\ pages/hour$

$b=225\ pages$

$y=-50x+225$ ----> the slope is negative because is a decreasing function

For y=0

$0=-50x+225$

$50x=225$

$x=4.5\ hours$ --- Molly's time to finish reading the book

To find out how many more minutes than Xanthia would it take for Molly to finish reading the book, subtract Xanthia's time from Molly's time

$4.5\ h-2.25\ h=2.25\ h$

Convert to minutes

Multiply by 60

$2.25\ h=2.25(60)=135\ minutes$

Work out the value of (1.7 × 10⁴) × (8.5 × 10^-2) give your answer in standard form

kogti [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

10^4 = 10000

1.7 × 10^4 = 1.7 × 10000

= 17000

10^-2 = 1/10^2= 1/100

8.5 × 10^-2 = 8.5 × 1/100

= 17/200

Final answer = 17000 × 17 / 200

= 1445
