The distance is increasing at a rate that is the speed of the plane multiplied by the cosine of the angle between its flight path and the direct line to the radar station. That cosine is 4/√(3²+4²) = 4/5, so the distance is increasing at
  440 mi/h × 4/5 = 352 mi/h

Which graph models the equation 4x + 2y = 8?
yan [13]
The graph slanted from left to right.

4x + 2y = 8
-4x
2y=8-4x

divide the equation by 2 since you only need on y. -2x+8 =y

it's a negative x so the graph would be from upper left to lower right.

Sapphire and Abe are shelving books at a public library. Sapphire shelves 12 books at a time, whereas Abe shelves 18 at a time.
valkas [14]

Answer: 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  Sapphire shelves 12 books at a time, whereas Abe shelves 18 at a time.

If they end up shelving the same number of books, what is the smallest number of books each could have shelved = LCM (12,18)

12 = 2 x 2 x 3

18 = 2 x 3 x 3

LCM (12, 18) = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 36

Hence, the smallest number of books each could have shelved = 36

For the first question, the answer is A. You take 90 and multiply it by 3, then you get the time that it takes for one worker to mow the large park. 

For the second question, you take 50 = k/0.25. To find k, you would want to multiply both sides with 0.25 to cancel the 0.25 on k's side. 50 times 0.25 is 12.5. I think C is your answer although I'm not really confident.
