Answer:

\frac{5}{6}  inches per week

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a very simple ratio problem. Basically,

<em>If 1\frac{1}{4} inches in  1\frac{1}{2} week, then HOW MANY INCHES (let it be x) in 1 week???</em>

<em />

We set up two ratios and cross multiply and solve for x:

\frac{1\frac{1}{4}}{1\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{x}{1}\\1\frac{1}{4}*1=1\frac{1}{2}*x\\1\frac{1}{4}=1\frac{1}{2}x\\x=\frac{1\frac{1}{4}}{1\frac{1}{2}}\\x=\frac{\frac{5}{4}}{\frac{3}{2}}\\x=\frac{5}{4}*\frac{2}{3}\\x=\frac{5}{6}

So average rate at which the water level changed every week is 5/6 inches per week.

Which statement best describes the function below?
harina [27]

Answer:

  • D. It is a many-to-one function

Step-by-step explanation:

  • One-t<em>o-one if every y value has exactly one x value mapped onto it</em>
  • <em>Many-to-one if there are y values that have more than one x value mapped onto them.</em>

We have a function that is of degree 3, so it has 3 x-intercepts which means there are points (x₁, 0), (x₂, 0), (x₃, 0), so it is a many-to-one function

Correct option is D

Write an algebraic expression for 84 more than the product of 167 and b
Ket [755]

Answer:

  167b + 84

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplication is indicated between a number and a variable by writing them next to each other. A "product" is the result of multiplication, so "the product of 167 and b" is written 167b.

If you want a value that is 84 more than that, you get it by adding 84.

  167b + 84
