3 0

Answer:

219.15% (2DP)

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between 0.94 and 3 is 2.06

Percentage change = (change in value/ original amount) X100.

(2.06/0.94) X 100

Which equals 219.15%

The price of gas has increased by 219.15%

The burges are moving across the country .Mr burges leaves 3 hours before mrs.burges. If he averages 50 mph and she averages 70
kirill [66]

10.5 hours

let t be time then distance travelled by both is

Mr Burges ⇔ d = 50t ( distance = speed × time )

Mrs Burges ⇒ d = 70(t - 3)

At the point of overtaking both will have travelled the same distance

equating their distance and solving for t

70(t - 3) = 50t

70t - 210 = 50t ( subtract 50t from both sides )

20t - 210 = 0 ( add 210 to both sides )

20t = 210 ( divide both sides by 20 )

t = 10.5 hours

snail travels at a rate of 2.37 feet per minute. write a route to describe the function how far will the snail travel in six min
Alex
F(x)=2.37ft*(X)
if x=6
then you multiply the amount of feet per minute which is 2.37 by 6
2.37*6=14.22 
so your answer would be 14.22

Write the slope-intercept equation of the line parallel to 5y = 2x + 20 that goes through (-1, 3).
poizon [28]

The first thing I'll do is solve "5y = 2x + 20" for "<span>y=</span>", so that I can find my reference slope:

y = (2/5)x + 4;

So the reference slope from the reference line is <span>m = 2/5;</span>.

Now I need to find two new slopes, and use them with the point they've given me; namely, with the point (-1, 3). They want me to find the line through (4, –1) that is parallel to 5y = 2x + 20; that is, through the given point, they want me to find a line that has the same slope as the reference line. 

Since a parallel line has an identical slope, then the parallel line through (-1, 3) will have slope <span>m = 2/5</span>. Now I have a point and a slope! So I'll use the point-slope form to find the line: y - 3 = (2/5)( x + 1);

Finally, y = (2/5)x + 17/5;
