Hey there!
Tom's age to Mary's is 3:4; an equivalent ratio is 15:x (x symbolizes Mary's age).
To solve for this, we need to divide our proportions. By that, I mean divide Tom's older age by his younger age. If we do so, we should get a scale factor that we can multiply Mary's younger age by.
15 / 3 = 5
This means that the scale factor of the ages is 5.
x / 4 = 5 (Solving for Mary's unknown age.)
To solve for x, multiply both sides by 4.
x/4 * 4 = x
5 * 4 = 20
x = 20
Mary's age is 20.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
30 pounds is 13.6078 kilograms.
13 x 16 = 208.
Mary's dog should be given 208 mg of medicine.
Answer: x= 182 - 12x
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>Function
1:
Number of Weeks (x) Amount Remaining (dollars) (y)
1 30
2 24
3 18
4
12
You find the rate of weekley rate of change by calculating the difference of the amont remaing between two weeks:
24 - 30 = - 6
18 - 24 = - 6
12 - 18 = - 6
As you see the rate of change is constant: - 6 dollars per week.
The equation shows the relationship between the amount of money, y,
remaining in Ricky's account and the number of weeks, x:
Function 2: y =
–7x + 30 Which statement states and explains which function shows a
greater rate of change?
The rate of change is the slope of the linear function, and this is the coefficient of the independent variable, x. Then the rate of change is - 7 dollar per week. Now you know that the two rates are constant and that the second function shows a steeper decreasing.
