Mrs. Bailey gives a test, and her students’ scores range from 30 to 70. She decides to curve the scores, so that they range from

65 to 95. Let "x" be an original score, and "y" be a curved score. Using the ordered pairs (30,65) and (70,95), write the equation in slope/intercept form that she should use to curve the test scores.

Answer:

f(x) = x*3/4 + 42.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The original difference between the pair is 70 - 30 = 40

The new difference between the pair is 95 - 65 = 30

Since the differences are not the same, Mrs Bailey must first perform a (slope) multiplication by a factor of 30/40 or 3/4

Then 30 * 3/4 = 22.5

Then she can shift the scores up by 65 - 22.5 = 42.5 in order to get the range from 65 to 95

Therefore, f(x) = x*3/4 + 42.5. We can test that

f(30) = 30*3/4 + 42.5 = 65

f(70) = 70*3/4 + 42.5 = 95

marta [7]

Answer:

Let x be the number of silver medals.

As there were two more gold medals than silver ones, gold medals are x+2

We also know that the number of bronze medals was 4 less than the sum of gold and silver, so if there are x + 2 of gold and x of silver, there are x+x+2-4 of bronze.

Now, we can do an equation, as we know there were a total of 28 medals:

x + x + 2 + x + x + 2 - 4 = 28

And we isolate x:

4x = 28

x = 28/4 = 7

There were 7 silver medals, so there were 9 gold ones (7-2) and 12 of bronze (9+7-4).

Sylvia, John, and Peter invested their savings in a bank. The ratio of the investment of Sylvia's to John's is 1: 3 and that of
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

4 : 12 : 15

Step-by-step explanation:

S : J = 1 : 3

J : P= 4 : 5

Using John's ratio to find a common ratio for all

S : J

(1 : 3)4 = 4 : 12

J : P

(4 : 5)3 = 12 : 15

Therefore our ratio is

S : J : P

4 : 12 : 15

Mr. Thornton's class visited five freshwater lakes to learn more about the crocodiles and alligators living in them to class cou
Yuliya22 [10]

Given table is given below

The relationship between the number of crocodiles and the number of alligators is not proportional across all lakes. Only two of the lakes have crocodiles and alligators in the same proportion. Which two lakes are they?

lake A and lake B

lake B and lake C

lake A and lake E

lake C and lake D

Answer : lake A and lake E

Lake ---> Crocodiles ---> Alligators ---> Ratio

A ---> 4 ----> 5

B ---> 21 ---> 35

C ---> 3 ---> 9

D ---> 6 ---> 16

E ---> 24 ---> 30

The ratio of A is 4: 5

B is 21: 35 = 3 : 5

C is 3 : 9 = 1 : 3

D is 6 : 16 = 3 : 8

E is 24: 30 = 4 : 5

Lake A and E has the same ratio 4: 5
