Your friend is on a weight loss program and has a goal of loosing 15 pounds. So far she has lost 3.5 pounds in the first two wee

ks. If she keeps up this rate of weight loss, how long can she expect it to take her to meet her weight loss goal?

Lets do the math together.

3.5/2 to find the weight loss per week= 1.75.

We know that every week the friend will reduce her goal by 1.75.

15/1.75= 8.6.

This means that in 8.6 weeks the friend will lose 15 pounds.

I hope this Helps! :)

Hello there! It should take her 8.6 weeks.

Well, the question doesn't specify whether it wants how long it'll take her in weeks, months, or days, so let's go with weeks. To do this, find the unit rate by dividing the amount she lost by the number of weeks it took.

3.5 pounds ÷ 2 weeks = 1.75 pounds lost a week.

Now, divide the total she wants to loose (15 pounds) by the 1.75 pounds a week to see how many she looses in total.

15/1.75 = 8.57142... Which is a little over 8.5 weeks, so we can round up to 8.6 weeks.

What is the peremeter of this polygon? (With picture)
lyudmila [28]
Check the picture below.

so.. simply, use the distance formula, to get their length an add them up, and that's the perimeter of the polygon.


\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\&#10;\begin{array}{lllll}&#10;&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\&#10;%  (a,b)&#10;&({{ -1}}\quad ,&{{ 2}})\quad &#10;%  (c,d)&#10;&({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ 4}})\\&#10;&({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ 4}})\quad &#10;%  (c,d)&#10;&({{ 3}}\quad ,&{{ -2}})\\&#10;&({{ 3}}\quad ,&{{ -2}})\quad &#10;%  (c,d)&#10;&({{ -2}}\quad ,&{{ -3}})\\&#10;&({{ -2}}\quad ,&{{ -3}})\quad &#10;%  (c,d)&#10;&({{ -1}}\quad ,&{{ 2}})&#10;\end{array}\qquad &#10;%  distance value&#10;d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}

\bf -------------------------------\\\\&#10;d=\sqrt{[2-(-1)]^2+(4-2)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(2+1)^2+(2)^2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;d=\sqrt{3^2+2^2}\implies \boxed{d=\sqrt{13}}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;d=\sqrt{(3-2)^2+(-2-4)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{1^2+(-6)^2}\implies \boxed{d=\sqrt{37}}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;d=\sqrt{(-2-3)^2+[-3-(-2)]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(-5)^2+(-3+2)^2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;d=\sqrt{(-5)^2+(-1)^2}\implies \boxed{d=\sqrt{26}}

\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;d=\sqrt{[-1-(-2)]^2+[2-(-3)]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(-1+2)^2+(2+3)^2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;d=\sqrt{(1)^2+(5)^2}\implies \boxed{d=\sqrt{26}}

so, those are their lengths, sum them all up, that's the polygon's perimeter.

Write an equation that relates the number of peppers, n, and the<br><br> cost, C.
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Complete Question:

The local Farm Market sells peppers at five for $2.25. Write an equation that relates the number of peppers, n, and the  cost, C.

Answer:

C = 0.45n

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5\ peppers = \$2.25

Required

Determine the relationship between C and n

5\ peppers = \$2.25

Divide both sides by 5, to get the cost of 1 pepper

\frac{5\ peppers}{5} = \frac{\$2.25}{5}

1\ pepper = \frac{\$2.25}{5}

1\ pepper = \$0.45

Multiply both sides by n to get the cost of n pepper

n*1\ pepper = \$0.45*n

n\ pepper = \$0.45n

So, we have:

C = 0.45n
