Answer: $\dfrac{1}{3}$ km per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The winner of the New York marathon ran the 8 kilometer event in 24 mins.

Then, the runners unit rate is given by :_

$\text{Runner's unit rate}=\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$

i.e. $\text{Runner's unit rate}=\dfrac{8}{24}=\dfrac{1}{3}$

Hence, the runners unit rate = $\dfrac{1}{3}$ km per minute.

A unit rate is when a rate is expressed by having 1 as the second number...

So for your problem you would want to find out how many minutes it took the runner to run 1 kilometer

To obtain the unit rate for your problem you will need to divide the numerator (24) by the denominator (8)

when you divide 24 by 8 the final answer is 3

so the unit rate is.....

the runner will run 1 kilometer in 3 minutes

also expressed as 1:3

i'm guessing this is what you wanted?
I hope this helps!

Answer:

$log_372 = 3.8928$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$log_38 = 1.8928$

Required

Evaluate $log_372$

We have:

$log_372 = log_3(8 *9)$

Apply law of logarithm

$log_372 = log_38 +log_39$

Express 9 as 3^2

$log_372 = log_38 +log_33^2$

Evaluate the exponents

$log_372 = log_38 +2log_33$

$log_33 = 1$ .

So:

$log_372 = log_38 + 2 * 1$

$log_372 = log_38 + 2$

Substitute $log_38 = 1.8928$

$log_372 = 1.8928 + 2$

$log_372 = 3.8928$

Answer:

a = 8 ÷ 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

All I really did was put another variable similar to the x in the original problem, then I changed the numbers to be a bit lower while still keep the original work-- In a short term, I lowered the 9s to 8s.

Please help explanation if possible

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

The given equation is:

y = -2x + 5………………(i)

Comparing the equation with y = mx+c, we get;

m1 = -2

Also another equation of the line which passes through point (-4,2), we get;

(y-2) = m2(X+4)............(ii) { using the formula (y-y1) = m2(x-x2)}

According to the question, they are perpendicular to eachother, So according to the condition of perpendicular lines;

m1*m2 = -1

-2*m2 = -1

or, m2 = 1/2.

Therefore, m2= 1/2.

Now, keeping the value of m2 in equation (ii).

(y-2) = 1/2(x+4)

y = (1/2)x + 4

Therefore, the required equation is: y = (1/2)x + 4.

Hope it helps!

Answer:

Mochi

Step-by-step explanation:

Mochi

Each week theres a increase of 4 in Mochi's weight. So you will add 4 twice to get to the 5th week.

4th week : 17

5th week : 21

Kappa

In 4 weeks Kappa weighed 14, which is less that Mochi at the pace Kappa is going at.

on the 3rd week Kappa weighed 11

and 2nd week Kappa weighed 5

and 1st week Kappa weighed 3

Looking at the graph, we can give a rough estimate on the 5th week it's going to be 16 or 17 either way making Mochi heavier.
