Answer:

<h2>                first piece:    5 in</h2><h2>           second piece:   10 in</h2><h2>               third piece:   32 in  </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

x   - the length of the <u>first piec</u>e

2x    - twice the length of the first piece (the length of the <u>second piece</u>)

6x   - six times the  length of the first piece

two inches more:

6x+2    - the length of the <u>third piec</u>e

first + second + third = 47 in  {total length of the pieces of steel}

x + 2x + 6x + 2 = 47

9x + 2 = 47

9x = 45

x = 45:9

x = 5 in

first piece:   5 in

second piece: 2×5 = 10 in

third piece:   6×5 + 2 = 30 + 2 = 32 in

The graph represents a person's heart rate in beats per minute during 30 minutes of exercise.
Andrej [43]

Looking at the graph closely we can see that the heart rate increases from 0 to 6 min then became steady from 6 to 25 min then finally decreases from 25 to 30 min. Therefore the correct answer is:

“The heart rate increases for 6 minutes, remains constant for 19 minutes, and then gradually decreases for 5 minutes.”

 

In real life cardiac exercises, we can interpret that the period from 0 to 6 min is the period where the person is still warming up thus leading to an increase in heart rate. At 6 min, the person is fully warmed up hence reaching a stable heart rate. Then at 25 min, the person starts cooling down which means that the exercise is ending soon.
