<h3>
Answer: B. 62 degrees fahrenheit</h3>
====================================================
Explanation:
x = elevation in feet
y = temperature in fahrenheit
The temperature goes up 1/10 = 0.1 degrees for every 100-foot increase of elevation. So the slope is 0.1/100 = 0.001, which tells us how fast the temperature is increasing. In other words, the temperature goes up 0.001 degrees each time the elevation goes up by 1 foot.
The ground temperature is 60 degrees, which is our starting temperature. It's the value of y when x = 0. Therefore, 60 is the y intercept.
We have a slope of m = 0.001 and a y intercept of b = 60. The equation y = mx+b becomes y = 0.1x+60
Now plug in x = 2000 to find the temperature at this elevation
y = 0.001x+60
y = 0.001*2000+60
y = 2+60
y = 62
We can solve this problem by the rule of three.
A complete pie chart has 360º.
45º----------------------6 people
360º-------------------- x
x=(360º*6 people) / 45º=48 people.
Answer; 48 people.
Answer: C
It’s going down by the same rate of change, 2.
The easiest way to solve this comparison without any unusual comparisons is to find a common denominator for the two fractions.
2/5 = 18/45
4/9 = 20/45
Since 20/45 is bigger than 18/45, we know that 4/9 is greater than 2/5
