The rate at which a professional tennis player used carbohydrates during a strenuous workout was found to be 1.7 grams per minut
e. If a line were graphed showing time (in minutes) on the horizontal axis and carbohydrates used (in grams) on the vertical axis, what would be the slope of the line?
How many carbohydrates (in grams) would the athlete use in 40 minutes?
How many carbohydrates (in grams) would the athlete use in 40 minutes?
1 answer:
Answer:
<em>m=1.7</em>
<em>C=68 gr</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Function Modeling</u>
We are given a relationship between the carbohydrates used by a professional tennis player during a strenuous workout and the time in minutes as 1.7 grams per minute. Being C the carbohydrates in grams and t the time in minutes, the model is
The slope m of the line is the coefficient of the independent variable, thus m=1.7
The graph of C vs t is shown in the image below.
To find how many carbohydrates the athlete would use in t=40 min, we plug in the value into the equation

Answer:
A. 1:8
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that several students were asked to name the kinds of animals they saw in the past week at the park.
Dogs: 8
Cat: 2
Fish: 4
Lizard: 2
We are asked to find the ratio that compares the number of cats seen to the total number of animals seen.
Let us find total number of animal by adding each type of animals as:
We can see that the students saw 2 cats, so ratio of cats to total animals would be .
Dividing 2 and 16 by 2, we will get:
Therefore, the ratio 1:8 compares the number of cats seen to the total number of animals seen and option A is the correct choice.
