To get the *percent increase* from week 1 to week 2, we calculate the change in distance from week 1 to week 2 (13.5 - 12.5 = 1 mile) over the week 1 distance (12.5 miles). Doing that, we find that Matthew increased his distance by
1/12.5 = 0.08, or 8%
We’re given that he’ll increase his distance by the same percentage from week 2 to 3, so to find his week 3 distance, we can find 8% of the week 2 distance and add that on. 8% of 13.5 miles is 0.08 x 13.5 = 1.08 miles, so by week 3, he’ll be running 13.5 + 1.08 = 14.58 miles.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
N = st
Number of toothpicks = (number of students) x (toothpicks)
Probability of heads or tails is .5
so you do (.5)^3 and you get D = 0.125
Answer:
y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is written in the form y=mx+b. Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
When there isn't a slope, as in the line is flat and it isn't moving up or down, you wouldn't write anything for it. You would just write y equals the y-intercept (y = b).
Likewise, if the y-intercept is at (0,0), then you'd only write y equals the slope (y = mx).
Hopefully this makes sense :)
Btw, I also answered in the main comments earlier, so you can check that out as well.
