Answer:

<em>At 8:00 am on next day, Beth's watch was one hour ahead of Ann's watch</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions</u>

When two magnitudes have a linear dependency where one of them is the other by a constant quantity, we can say they are proportional. Like distance and time when moving at a constant speed, double time means double distance, triple time means triple distance and so on.

The problem explains how two watches run too slow or too fast in such a way that every hour they are 3 more minutes apart. If Ann and Beth set their watches to the correct time at noon on Sunday, by 1 pm their watches are 3 minutes apart. By 2 pm their watches are 6 minutes apart and so on.

When will their watches be 1 hour (60 minutes) apart? We'll use proportions to find it out.

If every hour they get 3 minutes apart, we need 60/3 = 20 hours to have their watches 1 hour apart.

Answer: At 8:00 am on next day, Beth's watch was one hour ahead of Ann's watch

Answer: The answer is the first bubble

Step-by-step explanation:

1. When you identify the pairs you get: { ( -5,-4), (-1,5), ( -5,3) , (7,8) }

2. When figuring out whether or not it is a function, you have to see if there are any same y values. If there is no y values that are the same, then the relation is a function.

3. This relation is a function.

* Also, if you have a relation that has the two or more of the same x values, the relation is still a function no matter what.
