Answer:

<em>Orlando travels 1500 feet when he walks around the block</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions</u>

We can solve many problems using the concept of proportions which means that two variables can be related by multiplying one of them by a constant value.

The questions provides us some information about how Orlando walks around the block.

We know he takes about 600 steps from start to finish of his walk around the block. We also know he goes 15 feet in 6 steps.

That information is quite enough to calculate the number of feet Orlando travels. If he travels 15 feet in 6 steps, then it's logical to assume (by proportions) he travels 1500 feet in 600 steps. Note we multiplied both quantities by 100 because they are proportional.

We calculated Orlando travels 1500 feet in 600 steps, but we didn't multiply by 100 only just because of nothing since he walks 600 steps in the whole walk, we can assure:

Orlando travels 1500 feet when he walks around the block

Stella graphed y = 100 - 25/3 * x to represent the percentage of battery life remaining on her phone after x hours. What is a re
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

from 0 to 12 hours, that is 0\leq x\leq 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the x represents the number of phone hours used, therefore it has to be a number larger or equal zero, but NOT a negative number.

So on one end we have that the number of phone hours used (x) must be larger or equal zero: x\geq 0

On the other hand, when the battery goes to zero, there are no more phone hours to use. We can find what is that other limit by making the battery percent (y variable) equal to zero, and solve the equation for x, thus giving us the upper limit of usable phone hours:

y=0=100-\frac{25}{3} x\\\frac{25}{3} x=100\\25 x = 100*3 = 300\\x = \frac{300}{25} = 12

Therefore, the upper limit for the number of usable phone hours is 12 hours.

Then we write:

0\leq x\leq 12 hours
