Answer:

7.6 m/s faster

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of swimmer = 1.8 meters per second

The distance covered by runner = 200

Time of runner = 21.3 sec

We have to find the speed of the runner first so that we can compare with the speed of swimmer.

Speed = Distance/Time

=> 200/21.3

=> 9.4 m/s

So we have to find the difference between both speeds

Difference = 9.4 - 1.8

=> 7.6 m/s

So the runner was 7.6 m/s faster..

Answer:

7.6m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the time the Olympian swam

Speed=distance/time ⇒⇒Time=distance/speed

Distance=200m , speed= 1.8m/s   t= 200/1.8 = 111.11 seconds

Find the speed of the Olympic runner

Distance=200m  time = 21.3 sec  

s=200/21.3 = 9.4 m/s

Difference in speed= 9.4-1.8= 7.6m/s

What graph matches the related tables ? And please explain why !!!
alina1380 [7]

Graph 1 is related to table C because the first 3 values are increasing, and the 4th value decreases. Or because at 1PM, 3PM, and 5PM, the temperature was increasing, but at 7PM the temperature decreased. Graph 1 shows the first 3 points increasing, and then decreasing at the 4th point.


Graph 2 is related to table A because as the time increases/goes on, the temperature decreases exponentially/continues to decrease at a higher rate than before. From 1-3PM the temperate decreases by 2°F, from 3-5PM it decreased by 8°F, from 5-7PM the temperature decreased by 17°F.


Graph 3 is related to table B because as the time increases/goes on, the temperature decreases at a steady rate of 1°F every 2 hours.

Your hotdogs currently have a menu price of $2.80 + $.10 for extra sauerkraut. You want to include the sauerkraut in the cost an
jasenka [17]

Answer:

C) $3.77

Step-by-step explanation:

  • $2.80 + $0.10 = $2.90

  • Turn 30% into 0.30 by moving the decimal point (percentage sign) 2 places to the left.

  • To solve 30% of $2.90  →   0.30 x 2.90 = 0.87

  • Finally  $2.90 + $0.87 = $3.77

Jocelyn owns a food truck that sells tacos and burritos. She only has enough supplies to make 150 tacos or burritos. She sells e
timurjin [86]

Answer:

We know that:

Price of a taco = $4

Price of a burrito = $6.50

x = number of tacos sold

y = number of burritos sold.

We must have that:

x + y ≤ 150  (Because she only has supplies to make 150 tacos or burritos, but she can sell less than that)

And also we know that she must sell at least $780, then:

x*$4 + y*$6.50 ≥ $780

Now we found the system of inequalities:

x + y ≤ 150

x*$4 + y*$6.50 ≥ $780

To solve it graphically, we just need to find each one of the region solutions for each equation, and the intersection of these regions will be the solution for the system.

To graph them may be easier to write them as lines, you can do it as follows:

y ≤ 150 - x

y ≥ ($780 - x*$4)/$6.50

in the first equation, we will shade the area below the line, and in the second equation, we will shade the area above the line.

You can see the image below.

Where the accepted solutions are the ones in the darker part, and we only restrict this to positive values of x (because of how we defined the variable x)

Then looking at the image, we can see that one solution can be the point

x = 20, y = 120
