wrote the equation y= 3t - 6 to model the depth, y, in inches, of the snow on Tuesday morning, t hours after midnight. Does Kevin's equation correctly predict the total snowfall of 12 inches at 7:00 am on Tuesday morning?

Answer:

what is expected at 7am is 15 inches deep snow but what we have is 12 inches deep snow. The equation has failed in its prediction.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate if the prediction made by an equation modeled is correct.

Firstly let’s look at the equation in question;

y = 3t - 6

where y is the snow depth and t is the number of hours after midnight.

now we are looking at 7am, that’s 7 hours past 12am, meaning 7 hours after midnight.

let’s plug the value of t as 7 into the equation

y = 3(7) - 6

y = 21-6

y = 15 inches

according to the equation by Kevin, what is expected is 15 inches deep snow but what we have is 12 inches deep snow. The equation has failed in its prediction.

Create a ratio table for making lemonade with a lemon juice to water of ratio of 1:3 show how much lemon juice would be needed i
Ganezh [65]

There is 1 serving of lemon juice to 3 cups water. Hence why it's 1:3 ratio.

Since it's 1:3, then 2 servings to 6 cups of water, so on and so forth.

Multiply your lemon juice servings by 3 to find out how many cups of water for the table.

To find how much lemon juice for 36 cups of water, just divide 36 by 3 to get 12. 12 servings of lemon juice is just right for your 36 cups of water.
