Answer:

  not enough information

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing altitude by hours, we find the ratios to be 400/2 = 200 ft/h and 700/6 = 116 2/3 ft/h.

These are not the same ratio, so altitude is not proportional to time.

___

However, that's not what the question asks. It ask about rate of change. We only have enough information to determine the rate of change between hour 2 and hour 6 is 300 ft in 4 hours, or 75 ft/hour. Since we don't have any other rate of change information, we cannot determine if the rate of change is proportional to anything.

_____

<em>Comment on the question</em>

We suspect the question is simply worded poorly, and that we're supposed to determine if altitude is proportional to hours. (It is not). If that is actually the question, "rate of change" needs to be left out of the question.

Find the answer pleaseeee...<br><br>-15/9 + 9/4 = ? <br><br>Please find what the question mark is​
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

-15/9+9/4

We need to make them have the same denominator:

9x4= 36 so that is our new denominator

-15x4= -60

9x9=81

(Sorry if i dont make sense)

Now we have -60/36+81/36 which is equal to 21/36.

Now we simplify:

21/36=7/12

3(c-4)=4(c-6)<br> i don't know how to solve it, either
STatiana [176]

Answer:

c = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

3(c - 4) = 4(c - 6)

Use the distributive property on each side.

3c - 12 = 4c - 24

Now you need the terms with c on the left side and the numbers on the right side. Subtract 4c from both sides. Add 12 to both sides.

3c - 4c - 12 + 12 = 4c - 4c - 24 + 12

Combine like terms on each side.

-c = -12

Multiply both sides by -1.

c = 12
