Linda and Imani are each traveling in a car to the beach. Linda’s travel is modeled by a table. Imanis travel it modeled by grap

Answer:

Imani traveled faster because her distance surpassed Linda's distance after the fourth hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Understand the slope:

Ok, so the slope basically tells us how fast Imani and Linda traveled, so if we solve for the slope we know how fast Imani and Linda traveled.

2. Find Linda's slope:

- Take any two points: (0,10) and (1, 65).

Slope = (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)

= (65-10)/(1-0)

= 55

Since the slope is 55, we know her speed is 55 miles per hour.

2. Find Imani's slope:

- Take any two points: (0,0) and (1, 60).

Slope = (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)

= (60-0)/(1-0)

= 60

Since the slope is 60, we know her speed is 60 miles per hour.

3. Compare: Since 60>55, we know Imani traveled faster. If we look at options, we can see there's only one answer which shows that Imani traveled faster, so that must be the answer.

Plz look at pic !!!! Plz Help!!! Use proportion to solve

Answer:

It takes 26 2/3 gallons to make a 400 mile trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is simply asking for the number of miles per gallon . In math, per means this is meant to be written as a fraction.

"If a trip of 270 miles required 18 gallons of gas" is actually saying "270 miles per 18 gallons." This can be written as a fraction like so: 270/18.

If we're looking for the amount of gas used for a 400 mile trip, we have the fraction: 400/g, g being the amount of gallons it took to make that trip.

Now we can set up the proportion: $\frac{270}{18} =\frac{400}{g}$
