Answer:

135 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

Reading the book takes Xanthia

$\frac{225}{100}=2.25$ hours.

It takes Molly

$\frac{225}{50}=4.5$ hours.

The difference is $2.25$ hours, or $2.25(60)=\boxed{135}$ minutes.

Answer:

135 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y -----> the number of pages to finish reading the book

x ----> the number of hours

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the unit rate or slope of the linear equation

b is the y-intercept or initial value

In this problem we have

<em>Xanthia</em>

m=100\ pages/hour

b=225\ pages

y=-100x+225 ----> the slope is negative because is a decreasing function

For y=0

substitute and solve for x

0=-100x+225

100x=225

x=2.25\ hours ---> Xanthia's time to finish reading the book

<em>Molly</em>

m=50\ pages/hour

b=225\ pages

y=-50x+225 ----> the slope is negative because is a decreasing function

For y=0

0=-50x+225

50x=225

x=4.5\ hours --- Molly's time to finish reading the book

To find out how many more minutes than Xanthia would it take for Molly to finish reading the book, subtract Xanthia's time from Molly's time

4.5\ h-2.25\ h=2.25\ h

Convert to minutes

Multiply by 60

2.25\ h=2.25(60)=135\ minutes

gina pasted 3 stickers in a book. if she added one sticker to her collection every day, what equation represents the relationshi
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The answer to your question is

                       Number of stickers = number of days + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

- To find the equation of the line that represents the situation, first, find the slope.

Slope = m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

             m = \frac{4 - 3}{1 - 0} = \frac{1}{1} = 1

- Find the equation of the line

                      y - y1 = m(x - x1)

                      y - 4 = 1(x - 1)

                      y - 4 = x - 1

                           y = x - 1 + 4

                           y = x + 3

y = number of stickers

x = days

                     Number of stickers = number of days + 3
