The reciprocal of a number x is 1/x.
Let x = 1000
The reciprocal is 1/1000.
Answer:
C. 2.0 < t < 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
time = distance / speed
The circumference of the lake is given by ...
C = πd = 2π miles ≈ 6.28 miles
Then Johanna's time is ...
(6.28 mi)/(3 mi/h) ≈ 2.09 h
This time is in the interval (2, 2.5), so matches choice C.
___
<em>Alternate solution</em>
If we take pi to be 3, then this boils down to ...
2×3/3 = 2 . . . hours
Pi is on the order of 5% more than 3, so her time will be on the order of 5% more than 2 hours, or just above 2, but not as great as 2.5 hours. This sort of estimating can get you to the correct answer without a calculator.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:To find the x intercept using the equation of the line, plug in 0 for the y variable and solve for x. You can also use the graph of the line to find the x intercept. Just look on the graph for the point where the line crosses the x-axis, which is the horizontal axis. That point is the x intercept.
