Hey there!

If a cost of a gallon recently doubled, then it increased by 50%. This is because half of 100% is 50% and it takes one more 50% to double.

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!

Question

Answer:

the ratio of Jan's average walking rate to Bev's average walking rate is 3/4 or 3 : 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent jan and Bev's average walk rate.

Also t represent the time taken for Bev to walk 4 miles, so it will take jan 2t time to walk 6 miles

Given that;

It takes Jan twice as many hours to walk 6 miles as it takes Bev to walk 4 miles

For Bev;

y = 4/t

For Jan;

x = 6/(2t) = 3/t

the ratio of Jan's average walking rate to Bev's average walking rate is;

x/y = (3/t)/(4/t) = 3/4

the ratio of Jan's average walking rate to Bev's average walking rate is 3/4 or 3 : 4

Need help please thanks

Answer:

x-intercept = 3 ; y-intercept = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets rearrange the equation into the form y = mx + b:

5x - 3y = 15

-3y = 15 - 5x

Divide by -3:

y = 5x/3 - 5

Here we know that b (-5) is the y-intercept, and we can find the x-intercept by starting at the y-intercept and using the slope till we get the x-intercept. Or you can set y = 0 and solve for x, either way you get x-intercept = 3.

You are getting ready for a family vacation. you decide to download as many movies as possible before leaving for the road trip.
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Here is the solution for the given problem above.
Given: 1 2/5 hour = time it takes to download a movie
            5 1/4 hours = total hours for the download
            ? = number of movies downloaded
First, we need to simplify 1 and 2/5 hour, which is 1.4 hour, and 5 1/4 is 5.25 hours. Next, to get the number of movies downloaded, we divide 5.25 by 1.4 and the result is 3.75. Round this off to a whole number and we  get 4. Approximately, you were able to download 4 MOVIES. Hope this helps.
