Alright, so the rate of change is the same thing as the slope, so we can find this by using the slope formula (which I took a picture of because it's super messy to type it out like this)

Now that we know the slope formula, we need to find the x values and the y values to plug into the equation. We'll say that the years are our x values and the money spent (in billions) are our y values. Now that we've set up an axis, we can create points! Our points would be (2000, 1243) and (2005, 1838)

Now we can plug our points into our equations! On the top of our equation, we'll put (1838-1243), and on the bottom we'll put (2005-2000). When we simplify that, we end up with 595/5, which simplifies to 119. Now we know that the rate of change for the credit cards was 119 billion!

What is 2160 minus 1600 long way
lilavasa [31]
Hey there, Lets solve this problem together. 

The First step is to line up the numbers. 

=  2160

- 1600 

\mathrm{Subtract\:each\:column\:of\:digits,\:starting\:from\:the\:right\:and\:working\:left} 

<span>We calculate </span>0-0<span>the result of which is </span>0<span> 
</span>
<span>We calculate </span>6-0<span> the result of which is </span>6<span>.
</span>
Since we get a negative number in the next column, we must take 1 from the next column and carry it over to this column. Now the number will be changed to 10.

We calculate 10+1-6, and the result is 5. 

<span>We calculate </span>2-1-1<span> the result of which is</span>0<span>. 
</span>
Therefore, 

2160 - 1600 = 0560

At the Boston Marathon there were 20,000 runners who finished the race. Each runner ran a distance of 26 miles. If you add toget
andre [41]

Answer:

the runners have gone 20.8 times around the globe all together

Step-by-step explanation:

At the Bostom Marathon, we have a total of

N = 20,000 runners

We know that each runner ran a distance of

d = 26 miles

Therefore, the total distance travelled by all runners combined is:

D=Nd=(20,000)(26)=5.2\cdot 10^5 mi

We know that the circumference of the Earth is

c=2.5\cdot 10^4 mi

Here we want to find how many times around the globe would the marathon runners have gone. This can be found by calculating the following ratio:

n=\frac{D}{c}

And substituting the values, we find:

n=\frac{5.2\cdot 10^5}{2.5\cdot 10^4}=20.8

So, the runners have  gone 20.8 times around the globe all together.
