Jason runs the same distance each day. In one 7-day period he ran 40 1/4 miles. He knows that there is a proportional relationship between n, the number of days, and t, the total distance he runs. Tell whether each statement is True or False.
A. The relationship can be expressed as n=5.25t. True or False
B. The graph of the equation is a straight line through (0,0). True or False
C. The unit rate is 5.75. True or False
The answer is A
The nearest whole number to <span>17 5/8 would be 18.</span>
The product would expand to
This is a trinomial, and the only way to make it a binomial is to cancel out a coefficient using our variable 
.
So, we can cancel either the linear term or the constant term.
In the first case, we require
In the second case, we require
But must be a non-zero rational number, so this solution is not feasible.
Answer:
The correct answer is D 46.3644
