Answer:

\frac{5}{6} minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find unit rate of each.

<u>Jada</u>

2 scoop in 5 minutes

So,

1 scoop in 5/2 = 2.5 minutes

<u>Noah</u>

3 scoop in 5 minutes

So,

1 scoop in 5/3 = 1.25 minutes

These are the times. Time and rate are inverses of each other. So the rates of each is:

Jada = 1/2.5 = 0.4

Noah = 1/1.25 = 0.8

Working together, we add the rates and find the time:

(0.4+0.8)*t = 1

1.2t = 1

t = 1/1.2 = \frac{5}{6} minutes

So, they take \frac{5}{6} minutes to eat one scoop, working together

Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of 2 and contains
mina [271]

Equation in slope-intercept form is y = 2x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Given slope of the line, m = 2. Form an equation y = mx + b

⇒ y = 2x + b ---- (1)

  • Step 2: The line passes through the point (4,2). So it will satisfy the equation. Find b by substituting x = 4 and y = 2.

⇒ 2 = 2 × 4 + b = 8 + b

⇒ b = -6

  • Step 3: Form the slope-intercept equation.

⇒ y = 2x - 6
