Answer: 12.4Million

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the term we are looking for

Therefore;

Population in 2000 = x

Population in 1940 = 7.9Million

Recall population in 2000 is 1.57 times population in 1940

Therefore

1.57 * x = 7.9

x = 7.9m * 1.57

x = 12.403

Rounding off to the nearest tenth in Millions

= 12.4Million

Hope this helps

The following graph shows a proportional relationship.
elena-s [515]

Answer:

The constant of proportionality is thus 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the green line passes through (6, 6) and has a y-intercept of 0.  Thus, the equation of the line is y = (6/6)x + 0, or y = x, or y = 1x.

The constant of proportionality is thus 1, which is also the slope of this line.

An artist used silver wire to make a square that has a perimeter of 40 inches. She then used copper wire to make the largest cir
Anit [1.1K]

Answer: The artist used 8.6 inches more of silver wire

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the square

P = 4*a

P = 4*a = 40 in

a = 10 in

Each side of the square has a length of 10 in

The diameter of the circle is equal to the length of the side of the square

Diameter = 10 in

Perimeter of the circle

P_c = 2*π*radius = π*diameter

P_c = (3.14)*10 in = 31.4 in

Inches of silver wire (square) = 40 in

Inches of copper wire (circle) = 31.4 in

40- 31.4 in = 8.6 in
