Biologists have observed that the chirping rate of crickets of a certain species is related to temperature, and the relationship

appears to be very nearly linear. A cricket produces 120 chirps per minute at 70°F and 168 chirps per minute at 80°F.
(a) Find the linear equation that relates the temperature t and the number of chirps per minute n.


(b) If the crickets are chirping at 138 chirps per minute, estimate the temperature. (Round your answer to the nearest degree.)

(a) Find the linear equation that relates the temperature t and the number of chirps per minute n.
If the equation is linear, then the equation should have the form of t = mn + b

m = (80 - 70) / (168 - 120) = 5/24

t = 5/24n + b

70 = 5/24(120) + b
b = 45

t = 5/24 n + 45

<span>(b) If the crickets are chirping at 138 chirps per minute, estimate the temperature. (Round your answer to the nearest degree.)
</span><span>t = 5/24 n + 45
</span><span>t = 5/24 (138) + 45 = 74 </span>°F

Hello! In order to understand this question, we need to take a look at the content that is involved.

Lupita pays $40.03 in total. Meaning that's where we are going to start if we want to find out how many miles her ride was. Since the taxi charges a flat rate of $6.75. We would want to subtract it from her total value because we only work with that flat rate once. Which ends up giving us $33.28. From there, we don't need to worry about the flat rate anymore and we now focus on the mileage. If it costs $3.20 per mile, then we can simply divide the amount after to flat rate by the cost per mile, to figure out how many miles she has gone. In the end, you will get 10.4 miles.
