Answer:

  (a) b = (4/7)c

  (b) Bill: 40 shingles/hour; Chip: 70 shingles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b and c represent Bill's and Chip's rates in shingles per hour, respectively. Then we have ...

  7b = 4c

  c - b = 30 . . . . shingles per hour difference in rates

(a) Bill's rate in terms of Chip's rate can be found by dividing the first equation by 7

  b = (4/7)c . . . . . Bill's rate is 4/7 of Chip's rate

__

(b) To find the rates, we can multiply the second equation by 7 and substitute using the first equation:

  7c -7b = 210

  7c -4c = 210

  c = 210/3 = 70

  b = (4/7)(70) = 40

Bill's rate is 40 shingles per hour; Chip's rate is 70 shingles per hour.

Explain tge distace formula. then use it to calculate the distance between A(1,1) and B(7,-7).
Juliette [100K]
The distance formula is based on the Pythagorean Theorem:

Distance = Square Root [(X2 - X1)^2<span> + (Y2 - Y1)^</span>2<span>]
</span>Distance = Square Root [(7 -1)^2 + (-7 -1)^2]
Distance = Square Root [ 6^2 + -8^2]Distance = Square Root [ 36 + 64 ]Distance = Square Root [100 ]Distance = 10
