Answer:

1 in : 50 mi . . . or . . . 1 : 3,168,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing the areas by 10, you get 1 square inch corresponding to 2500 square miles. Those areas are equivalent to 1 inch square and 50 miles square. Hence the scale factor is 1 inch : 50 miles.

Sometimes map scales are expressed as a dimensionless ratio. The number of inches in 50 miles is

... (50 mi)×(5280 ft/mi)×(12 in/ft) = 3,168,000 in

so, the map scale can be expressed as 1 : 3,168,000.

Please help I am horrible at math! Ye is riding home from a friend's house. After 5 minutes he is 4 miles from home, after 15 mi

Answer:

<em>y=-0.2x+5. Correct choice: A)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Modeling With Equations</u>

Let's call x the number of minutes and y the distance from home. The correct model should meet both conditions:

After 5 minutes, Ye is 4 miles from home. This is the ordered pair (5,4)

After 15 minutes, Ye is 2 miles from home. This is the ordered pair (15,2)

A) y=-0.2x+5. Testing the first point (5,4): y=-0.2*5+5=4. Correct

Testing the second point (15,2): y=-0.2*15+5=2. Correct

This is the correct choice.

B) y=11/7x-27/7. Testing the first point: (5,4) y=11/7*5-27/7=4. Correct

Testing the second point (15,2). y=11/7*15-27/7=138/7. Incorrect

Incorrect choice.

C) This equation is equal to the choice B), thus this one is incorrect.

D) y=5x-0.2. The first point (5,4) yields to:

4=5*5-0.2=24.8 Incorrect.

cody's Bikes rents bikes for $18 plus $5 per hour. Mark paid $48 to rent a bike. For how many hours did he rent the bike.
kkurt [141]
He rented the bike for 6 hours. If Cody charges an 18 dollar fee up front you subtract that from the total 48 to get 30. Then once you get down to the what he payed for the time used you divide it by 5 because that’s the hourly fee and get 6 hours

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=-4\ \vee\ x=7}

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-3x-28=0\\\\x^2+4x-7x-28=0\\\\x(x+4)-7(x+4)=0\\\\(x+4)(x-7)=0\iff x+4=0\ \vee\ x-7=0\\\\x+4=0\qquad\text{subtract 4 from both sides}\\x=-4\\\\x-7=0\qquad\text{add 7 to both sides}\\x=7
