<u>Answer</u>


Incorrect


<u>Explanation</u>

Unpack the problem:

Let the distance round the track to be X.

Speed is the ratio of distance to time.

Robert run a distance of (1/2)x

Elaine run a distance of (3/4)x


Make a plan:

Finding the speed of each.

Compare their speeds to determine who ran faster than who.


Solution:

Robert's speed =(1/2)x/(5/6)

=1/2×6/5x

= (3/5)x

= 0.6x

Elaine's speed = (3/4)x/(9/10)

= (3/4)×(10/9)x

= (5/6)x

= 0.83333x



<em>Elaine ran faster than Robert. </em>


<u>Look back and explain:</u>

0.83333x > 0.6x

Elaine's speed is higher than Robert's speed.

This shows that Elaine ran faster than Robert.

Explain in a minimum of 2 sentences how to graph the equation of the absolute value function given a vertex of (-1,3) and a valu
liraira [26]
First, we put a point at the vertex. Then, we extend a line upwards of slope 1/2 to the right of the vertex. Then extend a line upwards of slope -1/2 to the left of the vertex. This will give the graph of the equation.

the volume v of a tank varies directly with its height h a tank 12 ft High holds 300 cubic feet write an equation relating v &am
Liula [17]

v varies directly with height means

v/h=k were k is a constant

or also h/v=k where k is a constant (this is a different k than previous)

so if h=12 and v=300 then

h/v=12/300=1/25=k

so the relationhip could be h/v=1/25


if you di v/h, then

v/h=300/12=25/1=25=k

so the relationship could be v/h=25

Create a ratio table for making lemonade with a lemon juice to water of ratio of 1:3 show how much lemon juice would be needed i
Ganezh [65]

There is 1 serving of lemon juice to 3 cups water. Hence why it's 1:3 ratio.

Since it's 1:3, then 2 servings to 6 cups of water, so on and so forth.

Multiply your lemon juice servings by 3 to find out how many cups of water for the table.

To find how much lemon juice for 36 cups of water, just divide 36 by 3 to get 12. 12 servings of lemon juice is just right for your 36 cups of water.
