Answer: 0.4 meters per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change of distance with respect to time is known as speed.

Formula :\text{Rate of change}=\dfrac{\text{Change in position}}{\text{Change in time}}

Given : It's raining outside, and after 1 hour of rain, the water level in Jake's pond is 2 meters. After 3 hours, the water level is 2.8 meters.

i.e. Change in position= 2.8-2=0.8 meters

Change in time = 3-1=2 hours

i.e. \text{Rate of change}=\dfrac{0.8}{2}=0.4

Hence, the rate of change =0.4 meters per hour.

The rate of change is 0.4 meters per hour:

There is a difference of 0.8 between the measurements, and the time it took to change that was 2 hours, so if you divide 0.8 by 2, you get 0.4 per 1 hour.

Create a proportion using the form = to represent the following word problem.

Answer :
x = 53.85

Step by step explanation:
If 78% of x (some numbers) is equal to 42, then we must set this as an equation to find it.

1) Rewriting 78% as a fraction and considering that when we say 78% of some number (x) we mean a product.
78% = 78/100 ➡️ 78/100x = 42

2) Then we can go on :
100 * 78/100x = 42 * 100
78x = 4200
78x/78 = 4200/78 ➡️ x = 53.85

3) Alternatively, simply dividing 42 by 0.78 (78%) would come to the same result :

42/0.78 = 53.85

What is the value of x?<br><br><br><br> Enter your answer in the box.<br><br><br> _____ units
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

x=28

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use similar triangles and proportions to solve this problem.  Put the side of the small triangle over the same side of the larger triangle.

x               42

---------- = ----------

x+10           42+15

Simplify

x               42

---------- = ----------

x+10           57

Using cross products

57x = 42 (x+10)

Distribute

57x = 42x+420

Subtract 42x from each side

57x-42x = 42x-42x +420

15x = 420

Divide each side by 15

15x/15 = 420/15

x=28

A teacher has two students, one two times as old as the other. The teacher is five times as old as the older student, and in 5 y
kramer
Let's call the younger student's age A and the older student's age B. The teacher's age will be T.

B = 2A
T = 5B
T+5 = 5(A+5)

Simplify the last equation.

T+5 = 5A+25
T = 5A+20

Now we have two equations solved for T, so we can set them equal to each other.

5B = 5A + 20

We can plug 2A in for B

5(2A) = 5A + 20

10A = 5A + 20

5A = 20

A = 4

To find T, we plug 4 in for A in T = 5A + 20

T = 5(4) + 20

T = 40

The answer is 40 years old.
