Answer:

a. No (see below)

b. (see below)

c. Johnny

d. Johnny = $12.50 / hour Doug = $9.16... / hour

e. Doug: extend the table to show how much he gets paid for 1 hour of work (the unit rate)

Johnny: already on the graph

Step-by-step explanation:

a. No. This is because a proportional relationship would have a certain ratio between payment and the amount of time spent working, which would not change. However, if Doug's neighbour pays him $55 for 6 hours, it's likely that this is not a proportional relationship, or we would be able to divide $55 by the 6 hours Doug spent working.

b. Even though above I said that it's probably not a proportional relationship, if it were, we would have to divide everything equally. I'm guessing the table should look like this:

Doug

Time (hr) Earnings ($)

4 $36.66...

5 $45.8333...

6 $55

7 $64.4666....

8 $73.333...

To work out how much Doug would get for working 4 hours:

4/6 x $55 = 2/3 x $55 = $36.66... (so definitely not a proportional relationship)

To work out how much Doug would get for working 5 hours:

5/6 x $55 = $45.8333.... (more evidence that this is not a proportional relationship)

To work out how much Doug would get for working 7 hours (we already got 6 hours):

7/6 x $55 = $64.4666...

To work out how much Doug would get for working 8 hours:

8/6 x $55 = $73.33... (we could double the 4 hour payment, but this is probably more accurate)

c. Johnny is getting paid more. If we look at how much Doug gets for 6 hours, it's $55. If we look out at how much Johnny gets for 6 hours, it's $75. (If we do the same with the other amounts of time, it's the same.

4 hours: D = $36.67 vs J = $50

5 hours: D = $45.83 VS J = $60

etc...

d. Johnny gets $75 per 6 hours --> 75/6 = $12.50 per hour

Doug gets $55 per 6 hours --> 55/6 = $9.1666... per hour

e. Carry on the table for Doug all the way to 1, so you can see the how much Doug gets paid for 1 hour of work (i.e. the minimum).

The unit rate is already on the graph for Johnny.

HOPE THIS HELPED :)

P.S. Mate cld you please give me Brainliest? That table took so much dam work

Find the total area the regular pyramid.<br><br> T.A. =

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

20 +4√2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the total area the regular pyramid = A + 1/2ps

A is the Base area

p is the perimeter of the base

s is slant height

A = 1/2 * 4 * 4

A = 16/2

A = 8

p = 4 + 4 + (√4^2+4^2)

p = 8 + √32

p = 8 + 4√2

s = 4

Substitute

TSA = 8 + 8 + 4√2 + 4

TSA = 20 +4√2

Hence the total surface area is 20 +4√2

A box contains 5 blue balls, 2 white balls and 3 black balls. A ball is chosen randomly. Find the probability that the chosen ba

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

7/10 or 70%

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the number of each color of balls together to get the total

5 + 2 + 3 = 10

Add the number of all the balls that aren't black

5 + 2 = 7

Then divide how many balls that aren't black by the total. This gives us the probability the ball you choose is not black

7/10 = 0.7 or 70%

The area of a rectangular piece of cardboard is represented by

Liula [17]

This question is solved applying the formula of the area of the rectangle, and finding it's width. To do this, we solve a quadratic equation, and we get that the cardboard has a width of 1.5 feet.

Area of a rectangle:

The area of rectangle of length l and width w is given by:

$A = wl$

w(2w + 3) = 9

From this, we get that:

$l = 2w + 3, A = 9$

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

$ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0$ .

This polynomial has roots $x_{1}, x_{2}$ such that $ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})$ , given by the following formulas:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}$

$x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}$

$\Delta = b^{2} - 4ac$

In this question:

$w(2w+3) = 9$

$2w^2 + 3w - 9 = 0$

Thus a quadratic equation with $a = 2, b = 3, c = -9$

Then

$\Delta = 3^2 - 4(2)(-9) = 81$

$w_{1} = \frac{-3 + \sqrt{81}}{2*2} = 1.5$

$w_{2} = \frac{-3 - \sqrt{81}}{2*2} = -3$

Width is a positive measure, thus, the width of the cardboard is of 1.5 feet.

A company has two large computers. The slower computer can send all the company's email in 35 minutes. The faster computer can c

Naddik [55]

The rate for the first is 1 job / 35 minutes and for the second is 1 job / 15 minutes. So combined we get

r = 1/35 + 1/15

3×5×7r = 3 + 7 = 10

r = 10/(105) jobs per minute

We're interested in 1/r

1/r = 105/10 = 10.5 minutes per job

Answer: 10.5 minutes

For breakfast, Clarissa can choose from oatmeal, cereal, French toast, or scrambled eggs. She thinks that if she selects a break

Leona [35]

No. If she selects a breakfast at random there is an equal chance she will select each item. 25% chance she will select oatmeal, 25% chance she will select cereal, 25% she will select french toast, and a 25% chance she will select scrambled eggs.
