Answer: 720

Step-by-step explanation:

480 : 16 marked

480-16 = 464

They saw 464 unmarked squirrels and 16 marked squirrels

464/16 = 29

They saw 29 unmarked squirrels for every 1 makes squirrel

29 * 24 = 696

They would have seen 696 unmarked squirrels for the 24 marked squirrels.

696 + 24 = 720

Mabel spends 4 hours editing a 3 minute video. she edits at a constant rate. how long does mabel spend to edit a 9 minute video?

she spends 4 hours on a 3 minute video
so there are 60 minutes in an hour
4 hours with 60 minutes- 4x60=240
so she spent 240 minutes on a 3 minute video
3 divided by 240
3/240= 0.0125
so her constant rate is 0.0125 minutes an hour
so divide 9 minutes by her constant rate
9/0.0125 = 720
so she spends 720 minutes on a 9 minute video.
divide 720 by 60 since there are 60 minutes in an hour
720/60 = 12
so she spends 12 hours on a 9minute video

What is the equation for the values in the table
devlian [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking any two points through which the line passes;(-10,-3) and (-5,-1)

The equation of the line is given by

\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}  =  \frac{y - y1}{x - x1}

=>  \frac{ - 1 - ( - 3)}{ - 5 - ( - 10)}  =  \frac{y - ( - 3)}{x -  ( - 10)}  =  \frac{y + 3}{x + 10}

=>  \frac{ - 1 + 3}{ - 5 + 10}  =  \frac{y + 3}{x + 10}

=>  \frac{2}{5}  =  \frac{y + 3}{x + 10}

=> 5(y + 3) = 2(x + 10)

=> 5y+15 = 2x+20

=> 5y =2x+5

=> y= \frac{2}{5} x + 1

option C
