Answer:$120
Step-by-step explanation
I had homework over this a day ago
A blue whale weighs more than an African elephant by 111.5 tons
African elephant= 15,000/2,000= 7.5 tons
Blue whale weighs 238,000/2,000=
119 tons
119-7.5 = 111.5 tons
The relation between a and s is given to be:
a = 640s
where,
a = number of acres
s = number of square miles
We are to find the number of acres for 7.5 square miles.
This means, s = 7.5
Using the value in the formula, we get:
a = 640 x 7.5 = 4800 acres
So the answer to this question is option B
Lets compare both equations so we can explain the reason for it, and see it clearly:
<span>y1 = 5x + 1
</span><span>y2 = 4x + 2
y1 > y2
</span>5x + 1 > 4x + <span>2
</span>To see why that happens we need to solve for x:
5x - 4x > 2 - 1
x > 1
Therefore, the first equation is greater than the second for values of x > 1
