The way you should go about solving this really depends on how your teacher taught you...However, here's what I would recommend...
You know that 1/2 an hour is equal to 30 minutes, and 3/4 of an hour is equal to 45 minutes.
Using this you can  then solve for how many pages she read per minute by dividing the number of pages read by the number of minutes read:11 pages/ 30 minutes to give you Monday's reading speed,and18 pages/ 45 minutes to give you Tuesday's reading speed.

Next, to calculate a percentage increase you need to do the following:
1. Determine the difference between the speeds (this means you will subtract Monday's reading speed from Tuesday's reading speed.)
2. Next you take that number and divide it by Monday's reading speed.
3. Multiply that answer by 100 to get the percentage.

I'm not going to tell you the speeds, as you should try to attempt to solve it by yourself, and I'm sure you need to show your work. I will however tell you that you should find there was a 3.3% increase from Monday to Tuesday.

If you need more help, let me know!

Answer:

Okay so I’m gonna do a few and list a few examples

In slope intercept form its

y=mx+b

Y= Random Y coordinate (Not that important for now while writing)

m= Slope

X= random x coordinate (not that important for now while writing)

b= Y intercept

SO basically plug it in like that so for the first one

the slope is 1/3  and y-intercept is -1

so

y=1/3x-1

And thats how you do it

leave the y and x

Graphing

So for graphing or fining the equation, first identify the y-intercept

The y-intercept is on the y axis (obviously), and its the number where the line first hits, so for the first one, the y intercept is 3 becuase thats where the first line meets on the Y axis. When identified start doing rise over run, lik just go up and right, if there is no space, dot he opposite, go down and go left or right (depends if the line is rising or falling, you can tell if rising (positive) if the line goes from down to up form left to right , if falling (negative) vice versa, up to down from left to right). And just write the equation after identifying the slope And y-intercept, the x and y don’t matter.

4) y= -1/3x+3 (watch your signs, if falling the slope is automatically negative)

5) y=1/2x+1

6) y=4x-5 (negative y-intercept due to the part where the y meets up with the line, its in the negative side)

(remember to write these equations on the top side of the line

Find the amount and and compound interest on 20000 compound annually for 3 years the Tate of interest being 5%,10%and12%respecti
Setler79 [48]

The formula is principal x ( 1+ interest rate)^ number of years

5%:

20,000 x 1.05^3 = $23152.50 total

Interest = 23152.50-20000= $3,152.50

10%

20000 x 1.10^3 = $26,620.00

Interest = 26620-20000 = $6,620

12%

20000 x 1.12^3 = $28,098.56

Interest = 28098.56-20000 = $8.098.56

Using the variable x for unknown number what is five more than the quotient of a number and 6 equals 7
Kitty [74]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

"Using the variable x for unknown number what is five more than the quotient of a number and 6 equals 7" translates into  5 + x/6 = 7.

To solve use inverse operations.

5 + \frac{x}{6} = 7\\\\\frac{x}{6} = 2 \\\\ x = 12

Rita bought 4 rulers for $4.00. If r represents the number of rulers purchased, which equation represents this situation?
Wittaler [7]

Answer: 4r = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Ruth bought 4 rulers and each ruler is to be represented by r. She therefore bought:

= 4r

She bought these for a total of $4.00 so the equation then becomes:

4r = 4.00

Equation representing situation is: 4r = 4
