Answer:
a) nearest jump is JL = 1380 inches = 115ft
b) number of jumps in 1 mile N= 46 jumps
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the jump length is proportional to the body length.
If 2 inch grasshopper can jump 40 inches.
JL = k(BL)
k = JL/BL
where JL = jump length = 40 inches
BL = Body length = 2 inches.
k = 40/2 = 20
The constant of proportionality is 20.
For the athlete :
BL = 5ft 9 inches = 5(12)+9 = 69 inches.
The jump length of the athlete is:
JL = k(BL) = 20(69)
JL = 1380 inches. = 115ft
The number of jumps in 1 mile is
1 mile = 63360 inches
N = 63360/1380
N = 45.9 = 46
N= 46
Therefore, 46 jumps would be needed.
Answer:
x = ± 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
12 - x² = 0 ( add x² to both sides )
12 = x² or
x² = 12 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = ±
= ± 
= ± 2

Answer:
How many items did Bob produce last week? 32 items.
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) Last week Bob was paid total of $480 for the items that he produced that week.
(2) This week Bob produced 2 items more than last week and was paid a total of $510 for the items that he produced this week.
a) Let's start with the simplest case: he produced 36 or less items this week.
In this case he produced less than 36 items last week too.
So he was paid the same amount of dollar per item.
Using (1) and (2) assumptions we have:
$480+2X=$510
⇒2X=$510-$480
⇒2X=$30
⇒2X=$30/2
⇒X=$15
He was paid $15 per item.
Last week he was paid $480.
480/15= 32 items.
This week he was paid $510.
510/15=34 items.
The other cases has no solutions.
