Answer:

Option C) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sandra enters a pumpkin growing contest each year.

currently her pumpkin measures 36 inches in circumference.

She models the weekly growth for her pumpkin with the equation

y = 2x + 36 which is similar to Y = mx + C

"C" represents "Y - intercept" which is at x = 0

measurement on Y axis x = 0 signifies the starting date of the contest.

and for x + 0 ⇒ y = 2 × 0 + 36 = 36

Which is starting size of the pumpkin.

Therefore, Option C) is correct.

With a certain tail wind a jet aircraft arrives at its destination, 1,890 miles away, in 3 hours. Flying against the same wind,
Gelneren [198K]
<span>Find the wind speed and the plane's airspeed.
:
Let s = speed of the plane in still air
Let w = speed of the wind
then
(s-w) = plane speed against the wind
and
(s+w) = plane speed with the wind
:
Change 3 3/8 hrs to 3.375 hrs
:
The trips there and back are equal distance, (1890 mi) write two distance equations
dist = time * speed
:
3.375(s-w) = 1890
3.0(s + w) = 1890

:
It is convenient that we can simplify both these equations:
divide the 1st by 3.375
divide the 2nd by 3
resulting in two simple equations that can be used for elimination of w
s - w = 560
s + w = 630
----------------adding eliminates w, find s
2s = 1190
s = 
s = 595 mph is the plane speed in still air
Find w
595 + w = 630
w = 630 - 595
w = 35 mph is the wind spee</span>

Abdullah and Kanna are working on the same problem.
Leona [35]

Answer:

Abdullah is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bottle contained originally 12 fl oz, so 12 fl oz is 100%.

The box now contains 20% more, so now it contains 120% of 12 fl oz.

120% * 12 fl oz = 1.2 * 12 fl oz = 14.4 fl oz

Also, 20% is 1/5. Abdullah divided 12 oz into 5 equal parts, and then he added one more 1/5. He interpreted the problem correctly. The amount in the new bottle is the amount of the old bottle plus 20% of that old amount.

Kanna considers the original amount to be 80%. When he adds another 20%, he is adding 1/4 of 12 which is too much. That is why he gets an incorrect answer that is to high. He interpreted the problem incorrectly. For him, the old bottle has 20% less than the new bottle. That is incorrect.

Abdullah is correct.
