We have been given that a rectangular yard is fenced in using 319 feet of custom fence Your friends really like the fence and decide to fence in their yard using the same fence.  Their yard is similar but has a scale factor of 8/5 times the size of  yours.

We are asked to find the length of fence that your friends should purchase.

Since the size of your friend's yard is \frac{8}{5} times your yard, so your friend should purchase \frac{8}{5} times the 319 feet.

\text{Length of fence your friend should purchase}=\frac{8}{5}\times 319\text{ ft}

\text{Length of fence your friend should purchase}=8\times 63.8\text{ ft}

\text{Length of fence your friend should purchase}=510.4\text{ ft}

Upon rounding our answer to nearest foot, we will get:

\text{Length of fence your friend should purchase}\approx 510\text{ ft}

Therefore, your friends should purchase 510 feet of fence and option C is the correct choice.

A weight loss program advertises a person can attain an average weight loss of 4 pounds per week.
Julli [10]

Answer:

a)  Avg rate of change = 4 pounds per week

b)  160 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The average rate of change is also called the slope. It is advertised that a person can loose 4 pounds in a week in the program. So, the average rate of change is 4 pounds per week.

Avg rate of change = 4 pounds per week

b)

In 5 weeks, a person can loose:

4 * 5 = 20 pounds (in 5 weeks)

Initially the person weighed 180 pounds, now after the program, he lost 20 pounds, so his weight will be:

180 - 20 = <u>160 pounds</u>

Fantom [35]
0.9(x + 1.4) - 2.3 + 0.1x = 1.6
0.9x + 1.26 - 2.3 + 0.1x = 1.6
x - 1.04 = 1.6
x = 1.6 + 1.04 = 2.64
x = 2.64
