Answer: $70 per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that x is the number of years that has passed and y is how much the stamp is worth.

So we know that in zero years the stamp was worth $420 because that is the time Sheri gave her brother Sam the stamp. That could bring up the coordinates (0,420) .

Now we know that in 8 years it was worth $980 and that could be the coordinates (8,980)

To find the rate of change we need to find the different between the y value and divide it by the difference in the x values.

420 - 980 = -560

0-8 = -8

-560/-8 = 70

The rate of change is 70 which means that it grew by $70 every year.

On one day a pet store sells 2 birds 6 gerbils 3 fish and 3 hamsters whats the data and relative frequency as a percent?

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Birds $F_b=14.3\%$

Gerbils $F_g=42.9\%$

Fish $F_f=21.4\%$

Hamsters $F_h=21.4\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Sales

Number of birds $n_b=2$

Number of gerbils $n_g=6$

Number of fish $n_f=3$

Number of hamsters $n_h=3$

Generally the frequency for birds $F_b$ is mathematically given b

$F_b=\frac{n_b}{n}*100$

$F_b=\frac{2}{14}*100$

$F_b=14.3\%$

Generally the frequency for Gerbils $F_g$ is mathematically given b

$F_g=\frac{n_g}{n}*100$

$F_g=\frac{6}{14}*100$

$F_g=42.9\%$

Generally the frequency for fish $F_f$ is mathematically given b

$F_f=\frac{n_f}{n}*100$

$F_f=\frac{3}{14}*100$

$F_f=21.4\%$

Generally the frequency for fish $F_h$ is mathematically given b

$F_h=\frac{n_h}{n}*100$

$F_h=\frac{3}{14}*100$

$F_h=21.4\%$

What is the estimate of 1/7 x 20 and 1/9 of 82?

devlian [24]

I believe the answer to 1/7 times 20 would be 2.9 that is rounded to the nearest tenth but if your rounding to the nearest whole number it would be 3
As for 1/9 of 82 it would be 9.1 rounded to the nearest tenth and it would be 9 rounded to the nearest whole number.
