Answer:

hx = 1.5cm . x + 11 cm

126 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following ordered pairs (x, hx).

  • (1, 12.5 cm)
  • (2, 14 cm)
  • (3, 15.5 cm)

We are looking for a linear equation of the form:

hx = a.x + b

where,

a is the slope

b is the y-intercept

To find the slope, we take any pair of ordered values and replace their values in the following expression.

a=\frac{\Delta hx }{\Delta x} =\frac{h2-h1}{2-1} =\frac{14cm-12.5cm}{2-1} =1.5cm

Now, the general form is:

hx = 1.5cm . x + b

We can take any ordered pair and replace it in this expression to find b. Let's use h1.

h1 = 1.5cm . x1 + b

12.5 cm = 1.5 cm . 1 + b

b = 11 cm

The final equation is:

hx = 1.5cm . x + 11 cm

If hx = 200 cm,

200 cm = 1.5cm . x + 11 cm

189 cm = 1.5cm . x

x = 126

Answer:

Approximately 59 stacked cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Height of a cup = 12.5 cm,

Two stacked cups = 14 cm,

Three stacked cups = 15.5 cm,

........, so on,....

Thus, there is an AP that represents the given situation,

12.5, 14, 15.5,....

First term is, a = 12.5,

Common difference, d = 1.5 cm,

Thus, the height of x cups is,

h(x) = a+(x-1)d = 12.5 + (x-1)1.5 = 1.5x + 11

According to the question,

h(x) = 200

⇒ 1.5x + 11 = 200

⇒ 1.5x = 189

⇒ x = 59.3333333333 ≈ 59,

Hence, approximately 59 stacked cups will need.

Answer:

2/1 or 2

Step-by-step explanation:

if you find a spot were the line is line up with the boxes in the graph like at (-2,0) up 2 and right one you will see the line is lined up again and since slope is rise/run its 2/1 or 2

Arrange these fractions in ascending order: 3/4, 2/5, 3/8, 7/10, 11/20, 23/40. Please help it’s due tomorrow and I’m big dumb
disa [49]

Answer:

3/8, 2/5, 11/20, 23/40, 7/10, 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Just change them all to the same denominator and you're good. Put all of the fractions' denominators to 40 as that's the least common denominator. 3/4 turns into 30/40. 2/5 turns into 16/40. 3/8 turns into 15/40. 7/10 turns into 28/40. 11/20 turns into 22/40. And 23/40 stays as it is, because the denominator is already 40.

Putting them in order is now simple,

3/8 (15/40) <  2/5 (16/40) < 11/20 (22/40) < 23/40 < 7/10 (28/40) < 3/4 (30/40)

***When you multiply any fraction to change its denominator, multiply it by the same thing to the numerator as well.

Good Luck!

First i got the area which is : A= a+b divided by 2 x height 
=2.5+3.5 divided by 2 x 2= 6
Area = 6

To get the perimeter you just add all the sides together so: 3.5+2.5+2.5+2.5= 11
