In order to figure out whether Luis or Isabella skates farther to get to school, we have to create a common denominator between the two fractions that represent the distance that each person walks.
The least common denominator of 3 and 4 is 12. This means that we have to change both fractions into equal fractions with denominators of 12.
To figure this out, we must set up a proportion.
2/3 = x/12
To solve this proportion, we must cross-multiply the fractions. We get:
24 = 3x
If we divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 3, to get the variable x alone, we get:
x = 8
Therefore, 2/3 = 8/12, so Luis skates 8/12 mile from his home to school.
If we do the same process for the 2/4 mile to get to school for Isabella, we get 6/12, because both fractions are equal to 1/2.
Therefore, we know that Luis skates 8/12 mile to school and Isabella skates 6/12 mile to get to school. Because they have the same denominator, we can just compare the numerators. We know that 8 is greater than 6, thus Luis skates farther to get to school.
Answer:
Part a. The graph does not model a proportional relationship.
Part b. The values in table model a proportional relation.
3.5 minutes per mile.
Step-by-step explanation:
Part a.
The graph shown in the question representing Janet's data is not a straight line although it passes through the origin.
That is why the rate of change of distance with time is not constant.
Therefore, the graph does not model a proportional relationship.
Part b.
If we plot the data in the table using distance in miles along the y-axis and time in minutes along the x-axis, then we will get a straight line passing through the origin.
So, the values in the table model a proportional relation.
Now, Tarik's unit rate in minutes per miles will be
minutes per mile. (Answer)
Answer:
23
Step-by-step explanation:
If you have something that says it is the f(x) or just f(something) then that is just telling you what the x equals. In this case, x=4 so you plug that into the equation.
This gives you f(4)=4(4)+7. From here, you will use the order of operations to solve.
f(4)=4*4+7
f(4)=16+7
f(4)=23
