Answer:

  C.  4,100

Step-by-step explanation:

"60% more" is represented by a multiplier of 1 + 0.60 = 1.60.

"60% fewer" is represented by a multiplier of 1 - 0.60 = 0.40.

__

Let b represent the number of booklets distributed by Team B. Then the number distributed by Team A is ...

  1.60 × (0.40b) . . . . 60% more boxes, each with 60% fewer booklets

  = 0.64b

Then the total distributed by both teams is ...

  b + 0.64b = 1.64b = (164/100)b = (41/25)b

The only answer choice that is a multiple of 41 is ...

  4,100 . . . choice C

__

For 4100 to be the number of booklets distributed by both teams, Team B will have distributed 2500 booklets, and Team A will have distributed 1600 booklets. Team A might have distributed 160 boxes of 100 booklets, while Team B might have distributed 100 boxes of 250 booklets.

In 1980, the median age of the U.S. population was 30.0; in 2000, the median age was 35.3.
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

y = 0.265x - 494.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let median age be represent by 'a' and time be represent by 't'

In 1980, median age is given 30

which means that

a₁ = 30

t₁ = 1980

In 2000, the median age is given 35.3

which means that.

a₂ = 35.3

t₂ = 2000

The slope 'm' of the linear equation can be found by:

m = (a₂ - a₁) /(t₂ - t₁)

m = (35.3 - 30)/(2000-1980)

m = 0.265

General form of linear equation is given by:

y = mx + c

y = 0.265x +c

Substitute point (1980,30) in the equation.

30 = 0.265(1980) + c

c = -494.7

Hence the the linear equation can be written as:

y = mx + c

y = 0.265x - 494.7

A printer prints 36 photos in 8 minutes. How many minutes does it take to print 45 photos? You can use a ratio table to help you
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

10 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, you want to figure out how many photos it prints in one minute. 36 divided by 8 is 4.5. So you should add 4.5 to 36, which makes 40.5 in 9 minutes. Add another 4.5 and you get 45 which you should add another minute. That gives you 10 minutes.

Another way is to find how many per minute which would again be 4.5. 45 divided by 4.5 is 10. So once again, 10 minutes.

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

y/x

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is proportional to y, then:

y = kx, where k is a constant

This can be rearranged to give:

k = y/x

As mentioned, k is a constant, therefore, the answer is y/x

Mark and Robyn used base- ten blocks to show that 200 is 100 times as much as 2. Whose model makes sense? Whose model is nonsens
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Robyn model makes more sense and Marks is nonsense.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question ,calculations not required .All we have to do is consider each model logically .

Marks

Marks model shows 20 rather than 2 which means 200 is 10 times as much as 20. It does not make any sense.

Robyn

Robyn model shows 2 which means 200 is 100 times as much as 2 and this is not only correct but also makes sense because 100 *2=200
