Understand that a decimal is any number written in the base-10 system. In common usage, the term "decimal" refers to a number that uses a decimal point to separate the ones place from tenths, hundredths, etc. Represent decimals using area models. State the fraction (tenths or hundredths) that is equivalent to a given decimal. Compare the values of decimals (tenths or hundredths) using area models and/or a number line. For example, compare the value of 0.8 and 0.21.Find a decimal that has a value between two other decimals. For example, find a decimal with a value between 0.3 and 0.4.

An air traffic controller is tracking two planes. To start, Plane A is at an altitude of 4385 feet and Plane B is at an altitude

Fantom [35]

Answer:

60 seconds, 7715 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Plane A and B start out 615 feet apart, and we find this by subtracting the height of plane A from plane B, getting 5000-4385=615. Now we have to find how many more feet of altitude plane A is gaining per second over plane B.

To find this we subtract 45.25 from 55.5 and get 10.25 feet per second. Now to find out how many seconds until they'll be at the same altitude we simply divide 615 by 10.25, getting 60 seconds.

For the second part, to find the altitude at this point, we simply multiply the altitude gain of one of the planes per second by the time of 60 seconds to get how much altitude they gained over that time, and add it to the starting altitude. Doing this with plane B we get 45.25*60=2715, and we add that to 5000 to get the final answer of 7715.

Line A has an equation of y=-2/5x + 3. What is the slope of a line perpendicular

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

$\frac{5}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - $\frac{2}{5}$ x + 3 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - $\frac{2}{5}$

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{-\frac{2}{5} }$ = $\frac{5}{2}$

On Naomi's cell phone plan, the amount she pays each month for international text messages is proportional to the number of inte

Lostsunrise [7]

A) The constant of proportionality in this proportional relationship is $k = \frac{y}{x}$

B) The equation to represent this proportional relationship is y = 0.2x

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that,

The amount Naomi pays each month for international text messages is proportional to the number of international texts she sends that month

Therefore,

This is a direct variation proportion

$\text{ amount Naomi pays each month } \propto \text{ number of international texts she sends that month}$

Let "y" be the amount that Naomi pays each month

Let "x" be the number of international texts she sends that month

Therefore,

$y \propto x$

y = kx -------- eqn 1

Where, "k" is the constant of proportionality

Thus the constant of proportionality in this proportional relationship is:

$k = \frac{y}{x}$

<em><u>Last month, she paid $3.20 for 16 international texts</u></em>

Therefore,

y = 3.20

x = 16

Thus from eqn 1,

$3.20 = k \times 16\\\\k = \frac{3.20}{16}\\\\k = 0.2$

Substitute k = 0.2 in eqn 1

y = 0.2x

The equation would then be y = 0.2x

Michael can type 4 pages of his term paper in 30 minutes. How long will it take him to type the paper if it has 14 pages?

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

105 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Michael can type 4 pages of his term paper in 30 minutes

so

using proportion

Find out how long will it take him to type the paper if it has 14 pages

$\frac{30}{4}\frac{min}{pages}=\frac{x}{14}\frac{min}{pages}\\\\x=30*14/4\\ \\x=105\ min$
