Mathematics

Tamiku [17]2 years ago

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 8 miles</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original trail be x

From the question 150% of the trail is

12 mile

That's

150% of x = 12

So we have

\frac{150}{100} x = 12 \\  \\  \frac{3}{2} x = 12

Multiply through by 2

That's

2 \times  \frac{3}{2} x = 12 \times 2

We have

3x = 24

Divide both sides by 3

We have the final answer as

x = 8

Therefore the length of the original trail is

<h3>8 miles</h3>

Hope this helps you

The function y=40x describes how far from home Shu Ling is as she drives from Dallas to Miami. Graph the function. Use the graph
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

You can see the graph below.

To answer the question, you need to draw a vertical line from x = 12h up, until the line meets with the line.

Once the line meets with the line, draw a horizontal line from that point, and the value where this line intersects with the y-axis will be the distance from home after 12 hours.

The graph is kinda hard to read because the line is really steep, the green line is the equation y = 40*x

the red line is a line at x = 12

The black dashed line is the horizontal line that intersects with the y-axis.

In the graph, you can see that the dashed line intersects the y-axis at around y = 475.

Then a good estimate is that the distance after 12 hours is 475 (miles).

Now, we can compare this with the direct calculation, just replace x by 12 in the given line:

y = 40*12 = 480.

So our estimation is really accurate.
