22,000 miles more each year. Marc's car has a current mileage of 22,000 and he drives 22,000 miles more each year. Will the mileages for the two cars ever be equal? Explain.

If we make equations:
y-total mileage, x-years of driving
Elena: y=9000+22000*x
Marc: y=22000+22000*x
<span>The general form of the linear function is: y=kx+n, where k represents the slope of the line relative to the x axis, and n tells us where the line will intersect the y axis.
This two functions have same k coefficient, so they have same slopes but different y-intercepts, so the lines do not intersect which means the mileage of two cars will never be equal.

<span>The mileage of the two cars will never be equal. This is because Elena has less mileage on her car to begin with, and both Elena and Marc drive the same amount of miles every year. Marc's car will always have a higher mileage.</span>

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

You would expect 75 cartons with at least 1 broken egg.

There are likely to be 222 DVD players that are defective.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both examples given in this question represent a ratio of broken or defective to a sample number of cartons or DVD players.  In order to find how many would be broken or defective overall, you can set up equivalent ratios, or proportions.

Egg Cartons: \frac{broken}{#cartons}=\frac{3}{20}=\frac{x}{500}

'x' represents the number of cartons out of 500 that would be expected to have at least 1 broken egg.  To solve for 'x' you can cross-multiply and divide, or you can find what factor you would multiply the denominator by to get 500 and then multiply the same factor by the numerator to find 'x'.  In this case 500/20 = 25, so the factor is 25.  3 x 25 = 75, so you have 75 expected cartons with a broken egg.

DVD Players:  \frac{defective}{#players}=\frac{3}{50}=\frac{x}{3700}

'x' represents the number of DVD players out of 3700 that would be expected to be defective.  To solve for 'x' you can cross-multiply and divide, or you can find what factor you would multiply the denominator by to get 3700 and then multiply the same factor by the numerator to find 'x'.  In this case 3700/50 = 74, so the factor is 74.  3 x 74 = 222, so you have 22 likely defective DVD players.
