Let x be the months and y be the cost.

Rate of increase of commodity A = 6/3 = $2 per month
Equation:
y = 2x + 4500

Rate of increase of commodity B = 2/4 = $0.5 per month
Equation:
y = 0.5x + 5400

Equating the costs,
2x + 4500 = 0.5x + 5400
1.5x = 900
x = 600 months
x = 600 / 12 = 50 years

2) In 1000 sq. meter of land a farmer cultivated 765 kg of rice with the wastage of 23.5%. I) Find the weight of the wastage. II
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Weight of wastage=179.775kg

weight of rice cultivated= 585.225 kg

percentage of rice cultivated=76.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of land=100 square meters

Cultivated rice=765kg

Wastage=23.5%

1) Weight of the wastage=23.5% of 765kg

=23.5/100 × 765

=17977.5 / 100

=179.775 kg

2) Weight and percentage of rice cultivated.

weight of rice cultivated = 765 kg - 179. 775 kg

= 585.225 kg

percentage of rice cultivated = 100 - 23.5

= 76.5%

3) if area is increased 40 times in size

New area=1000 square meters × 40

=40,000 square meters

Cultivated rice= 765kg × 40

=30,600 kg

Cultivated rice excluding wastage=585.225 kg × 40

=23,409 kg

Membership to a national running club is shown in the table. Which answer describes the average rate of change from Year 3 to Ye
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Membership decreased by an average of 6,600 people per year from Year 3 to Year 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change from Year 3 to Year 5 will be given by the slope of the line joining the points;

(3, 96.8) and (5, 83.6)

The slope of a line given two points is calculated as;

( change in y)/( change in x)

In this case y is the number of members for a given year x.

average rate of change = (83.6-96.8)/(5-3)

                                        = -6.6

Since the number of members is given in thousands, we have;

-6,600

The negative sign implies a decrease in the number of members. Therefore, membership decreased by an average of 6,600 people per year from Year 3 to Year 5
