You can do this by converting this into a ratio or a fraction

Ratio:
1 lb for 4 guinea pigs
1:4
If he was 8 lbs for x guinea pigsit would be

1:4
8:x

Multiply the first ration until the one is equal to 8, then whatever the four turns into is x

Fraction: (easier way)

1/4 (1lb for 4 guinea pigs)
8/x (8lb for x guinea pigs)
1/4 = 8/x
Multiply one until it is equal to 8
Correspond that to the 4

1*8 = 8
4*8 = 32

32 guinea pigs

John drove 450 miles in 8 hours. he averaged 50 miles per hour on the highway and 60 miles per hour on the turnpike. how many ho
Alexeev081 [22]
Total distance John drove=450 miles
total time=8 hours
let the number of hours he drove on highway be x, number of hours he drove on turnpike will be (8-x) hours
since
distance=speed*time
distance traveled in highway=50x
distance traveled in turnpike=60(8-x)
thus the total distance will be:
50x+60(8-x)=450
simplifying the above
50x+480-60x=450
-10x=450-480
-10x=-30
thus
x=3 hours
Thus he drove on highway for 3 hours.

Which of the following graphs are identical
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The domain is x ≥ -7

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain asks what values can x take

We know that the sqrt(x+7) must be ≥ 0

That means the smallest value it can be is zero

x+7 ≥ 0

x ≥ -7

The domain is x ≥ -7
