The slope is 4.

To find the perpendicular slope, you use the negative reciprocal of the slope you already have. Since the original slope is -1/4, you flip -1/4 to get -4. You then find the negative of -4 to get 4

A population of beetles are growing according to a linear growth model. The initial population (week 0) is p0=6 and the populati

wel

Answer:

P(n)= p0 + 11(n)

Where p0= population of week 0

P(n) = population of n weeks

n= number of weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Population of beetles in Week 0= 6

Population of beetles in Week 7= 83

From week 0 to week 7 there are 8 weeks.

But subtracting population of week 0 from population of week 7 gives

= 83-6

= 77

After the subtraction, we have 7 weeks remaining.

Dividing the remaining population by the number of weeks remaining

=77/7

= 11

For n number of weeks, population p of beetles

P(n)= p0 + 11(n)

Where p0= population of week 0

P(n) = population of n weeks

n= number of weeks

Several trays of danishes are ordered for a breakfast about 35% or cream filled there are four trays of 18 danishes on each tray

zvonat [6]

There are <em><u>25 danishes </u></em>contain cream filling

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The percent is a number that shows a comparison of the number 100 or can be called per hundred (symbol%)

Formula used:

$\large{\boxed{\bold{Percentage\:=\:\frac{Total\:Section}{Total\:Amount}\:\times\:100\percent}}}$

Fractions either proper or mixed (consisting of numerators and denominators) or decimal forms

The percentage can be expressed as a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left

One way to convert proper fractions to percent forms is by multiplying the fraction by 100% or By changing the denominator to 100 because percent is the percent. Multiply the numerator and denominator with the same number

35% from Several trays of danishes are filled with cream

There are four (4) trays

18 danishes on each tray

Total danishes :

$\displaystyle =18\times 4\\\\=72\:danishes$

35% are filled with cream

$\displaystyle = \frac{35}{100}\times 72\\\\=\boxed{\bold{25.2}}$

Round up to<em><u> </u></em><em><u>25 danishes</u></em>

The speed of the boat going with a current is 20 mph. When the boat goes against the current, the speed is 16 mph. Find the spee

adoni [48]

Answer:

The speed of the boat in still water is 18 mph.

The speed of the current is 2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the boat in still water.

Let y represent the speed of the current.

When the boat goes against the current, the speed is 16 mph. Assuming it traveled against the current while going upstream, its total speed would be (x - y) mph. It means that

x - y = 16 (equation 1)

Going downstream, the boat averages 20 mph. Assuming it traveled with the current, its total speed would be (x + y) mph. It means that

x + y = 20 (equation 2)

Adding both equations, it becomes

2x = 36

x = 36/2

x = 18 mph

Substituting x = 18 into equation 1, it becomes

18 - y = 16

y = 18 - 16

y = 2 mph
