Answer:

Sharon spent a total of 49 minutes yesterday reading the book

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the rate at which she reads

The total number of pages she reads at any given time interval can be expressed as;

T=P×m

where;

T=Total number of pages she reads

P=the rate at which she reads in number of pages per minute

m=total number of minutes she takes reading a book

In our case;

T=10 pages

P=p

m=35 minutes

replacing;

10=p×35

p=10/35

p=(10/35)

The rate at which she reads=(10/35) pages per minute

Step 2: Calculate the time she spent reading the book yesterday

Yesterdays variables are as follows;

T=14 pages

p=(10/35) pages per minute

m=unknown

replacing;

14=(10/35)×m

m=14×(35/10)

m=49

Sharon spent a total of 49 minutes yesterday reading the book

To find slope between two given points:
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Find the difference between the first two points
12-9.5/2-1 = 2.5/1 = 2.5
14.5-12/3-2 = 2.5/1 = 2.5
17-14.5/4-3 = 2.5/1 = 2.5
The rate of change between each point is 2.5

OMG PLS HELP WITH THIS IM PANICKING OMG I GOT A F IN MATH MY MOM JUST YELLED AT ME IM CRYING PLS HELP WITH THS-
andre [41]

Answer:

4. 50,000 square miles

5. The office would round to $800,000 instead of $700,000 because they would lose that needed $35,495. If they rounded down, their budget would be cut short, and they won’t have enough money for the office.

6. Five numbers that could also be the population: 577,777; 575,555; 578,999: 578,787; 581,545.

7. 600,000

8.584,000

9. 260,000

Step-by-step explanation:

4. In this question, we’re rounding the number, “54,555” go the nearest ten thousand. When rounding numbers you look at the number next to the digit your rounding. In this case, since the second number is not 5 or higher, we round it to 50,000 as that’s closer than 60,000.

5. Like I stated above: if they round to the lowest amount, they won’t have enough money to but what they need. Therefore, even if according to rounding it needs to be lower, it will not be beneficial to the company.

6. This are all possible numbers cause they can all by round to 580,000 AND 600,000

7. Since the number next to six is not five or higher, we round it to the closest number which is 600,000.

8. Since the number next to 3 is 5, we round it to the higher number. So it’s 584,000

9. Since the number next to the underlined nunber is 6, we round it to the closest number which is 260,000

If you have any more questions, you can ask me :)

Jared has some quarters and dimes that total $5.50. If he has 8 more quarters that dimes, how much dimes does Jared have?
MAXImum [283]
Answer: 10 dimes

Solve using system of equations.
q=number of quarters and d=number of dimes
.25q+.10d=5.50 because the total of dimes and quarters is $5.50
8+d=q because there are 8 more quarters than dimes
substitute 8+d for q into the first equation to get .25(8+d)+.10d=5.50
then simplify
2+.35d=5.50
.35d=3.50
d=10 he has 10 dimes
