Answer: B

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

the average rate of change is the same as slope (m). Calculate the slope between the beginning and ending coordinates for each stage.

A = (0, 1) → (4, 2.5)

           B = (4, 2.5) → (6, 4)

                           C = (6, 4) → (8, 6)

                                        D = (8, 6) → (10, 9)

                                                      E = (10, 9) → (12, 14)

\frac{y _{2} - y_{1}} {x _{2} - x_{1}}

<u>Stage A</u>

  \frac{2.5 - 1}{4 - 0}

= \frac{1.5}{4}

= 0.375

<u>Stage B</u>

  \frac{4 - 2.5}{6 - 4}

= \frac{1.5}{2}

= 0.75

<u>Stage C</u>

  \frac{6 - 4}{8 - 6}

= \frac{2}{2}

= 1.00

<u>Stage D</u>

  \frac{9 - 6}{10 - 8}

= \frac{3}{2}

= 1.5

<u>Stage E</u>

  \frac{14 - 9}{12 - 10}

= \frac{5}{2}

= 2.5

(A) Stage B = Stage C            False

(B) Stage A is the slowest      TRUE

(C) Stage D > Stage E             False

(D) Stage D is the fastest        False

Y=6 because if you multiply 2/3 by 6 you get 12/3 and reducing it, that becomes 4. If you did 4 then the answer would be 8/3 and reducing that is 2 2/3

4x1 1\5 please help
givi [52]
If you would like to calculate 4 * 1 1/5, you can do this using the following steps:

1 1/5 = 6/5
4 * 1 1/5 = 4 * 6/5 = 24/5 = 4 4/5

The correct result would be 4 4/5.

If that was not your question, please ask differently and I will try and answer your question. :)
