Which weighs more: a pound of feathers or a pound of rocks?

2 answers:

They both weigh the same. They are both a pound each. One rock may weigh a pound where a thousand feathers may weigh a pound, but they still are both the amount needed to be a pound each. <span />

A pound is a pound it doesn't matter what it is.

Hope this helps.

Dairy farmers are aware there is often a linear relationship between the age, in years, of a dairy cow and the amount of milk pr

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

B. A cow of 5 years is predicted to produce 5.5 more gallons per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $M(a) = 40.8-1.1\cdot a$ , where $a$ is the age of the dairy cow, measured in years, and $M(a)$ is the predicted milk production, measured in gallons per week.

Besides, we consider $a_{1}$ and $a_{2}$ , such that $a_{1}\ne a_{2}$ , we define the difference between predicted milk productions ( $\Delta M$ ) below:

$\Delta M = -1.1\cdot (a_{2}-a_{1})$ (1)

If we know that $a_{1} = 5\,yr$ and $a_{2} = 10\,yr$ , then the difference between predicted milk productions is:

$\Delta M = -1.1\cdot (10-5)$

$\Delta M = -5.5\,\frac{gal}{week}$

That is, a cow of 5 years is predicted to produce 5.5 more gallons per week than a cow of 10 years. Hence, the right answer is B.

Line A: y=-1/2x+3

sashaice [31]

A) For the equation $y=- \frac{1}{2}x+3$ , the slope is $- \frac{1}{2}$ .
Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is slope and b is the y-intercept. This means that if $m=- \frac{1}{2}$ , the slope is $- \frac{1}{2}$ .

B) Since this equation is in the same form, you just find what m is equal to.
Since $m=2$ , that's the slope.

For the solution, set $y=- \frac{1}{2}x+3$ equal to $y=2x-4$ , so it would be put together like this:
$y=[tex]- \frac{1}{2}x+3=2x-4\\ -\frac{1}{2}=2x-7\\ 1\frac{1}{2}x=-7\\ x=-4.66667$
So your answer is -4.667.

This is asking “identity whether each of the following is a linear function” please ignore the quality tho. The question numbers

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

4. Yes 5.No 6. No

Step-by-step explanation:

To be short,a linear equation has a coefficient of only 1 degree.

If the degree is over 1 it isn't a linear equation.

4 is the linear equation since it x value 7x has a degree of 1.

5 isn't becuase it's x value has a degree of 5

6 isn't becuase it degree is 4.

Trey drove 250 miles using 9 gallons of gas. At this rate, how many gallons of gas would he need to drive 275 miles?

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

10 gallons of gas.

Step-by-step explanation:

250/9 = how many miles 1 gallon of gas will take

250/9 = 27.78

1 gallon of gas = 27.78 miles

275/27.78 = 9.90 gallons

9.90 gallons round up to 10 gallons

Therefore, Trey would need 10 gallons of gas to drive 275 miles.
