On a 1‐mile walking tour of New York City, a group had to take a detour that was 300 yards shorter than half the distance of the

tour. The detour is how many yards long?

Answer:

580 yards long.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance of the walking tour is = 1 mile

Step 1

We have to convert 1 mile to yards

Therefore ,

1 mile = 1760 yards

Step 2

We are told that the group took a detour that was 300 yards shorter than half the distance of the tour.

The second step would be to find out how many yards is equal to half the distance of the tour.

Half the distance of the tour = 1/2 of a mile

And in step 1 we have converted whole distance of the tour to yards

= 1 mile = 1760 yards.

Hence, Half the distance of the tour = 1760 yards ÷ 2

= 880 yards.

Step 3

The group took a detour that was 300 yards shorter than half the distance of the tour.

This means mathematically,

Half the distance of the tour - 300 yards

= 880 yards - 300 yards

= 580 yards.

Therefore, the detour was 580 yards long.

jek_recluse [69]

Answer: rate = 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

SI = 4800 - 4480 = 320 for two years

For 1 year, it is 320/2 = 160

For 5 years, it is 160 * 5 = 800

Principal = Amount -SI

P = 4800 - 800 = 4000

SI = prt / 100

800 = (4000 * r * 5) / 1000

r = 800 * 100 / 4000 * 5

r = 4%

SOMEONE PLSSSS HELP!!! Explain the difference in the graphs of Car #1 and Car #2. What is the Slope of each? Why is one line ste
dusya [7]

Answer:

Car 1 slope = 35

Car 2 slope = 40

Red line(car 2) is steeper than the blue line(car 1)

slope is miles per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula is

slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

To find slope, pick two points from graph of Car 1

(4,140) (6,210)

slope Car1= \frac{210-140}{6-4}= 35

To find slope, pick two points from graph of Car 2

(3,120) (5,200)

slope Car 2= \frac{200-120}{5-3}= 40

When slope is larger then line is steeper

slope of Car 2 is greater than slope of Car1

So Red line is steeper than the blue line.

Slope is change is y over change in x

It means Change in miles over change in gallons

So slope is miles per gallon

Please write an equation
Katen [24]

Answer:

y = \frac{3}{4} x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{5-2}{4-0} = \frac{3}{4}

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, 2 ) ⇒ c = 2

y = \frac{3}{4} x + 2 ← equation of line
