Percent grade = 100*slope = 100 (\frac{6500-6000}{1200}) = 100(\frac{5}{12}) = 41.67 \%

Actual distance is the hypotenuse to the triangle where 500  and 1200 are the legs of the triangle.
d = \sqrt{500^2 + 1200^2} = 1300

Percy said that any real number for k would cause the system of equations to have no solution. Explain the error in Percy’s stat
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Except k=7, any real number for k would cause the system of equations to have no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

In general a system of equations can be represented as ax+by=c and dx+ey=f. In order this system of equations to have NO SOLUTIONS a/d=b/a≠c/f. In our example a=6, b=4, c=14, d=3, e=2 and f=k. To apply the formula above, 6/3=4/2≠14/k. Hence k≠7. It can be concluded that except k=7, any real number for k would cause the system of equations to have no solutions.

Just for information, if k=7 the system will have infinitely many solutions.

You need to make 5 grilled cheese sandwiches. You have a grill that is large enough to toast 2 sandwiches at a time. The sandwic
n200080 [17]
Each sandwich is toasted for 2 minutes and it takes 3 seconds to flip it.
The first two sandwiches will be toasted in 2 minutes (toasting) and 6 seconds (flipping).
The two will then be switched which will take 10 seconds.
The next two will again take 2 minutes and 6 seconds.
The final sandwich will take 5 seconds to be placed.
The final sandwich will also take 2 minutes to toast and 3 seconds to flip.
Total time:
2 + 2 +2 = 6 minutes
6 + 10 + 6 + 3 = 25 seconds
Total time is 6 minutes and 25 seconds.
