Answer:

The width of rectangle is $W=\frac{108}{13}\ cm$ or $8\frac{4}{13}\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The perimeter of rectangle is equal to

$P=2(L+W)$

where

L is the length of rectangle

W is the width of rectangle

we have

$P=26\ cm\\L=(x+4)\ cm\\W=12x\ cm$

substitute

$26=2(x+4+12x)$

solve for x

$26=2(13x+4)$

$26=26x+8$

$26x=26-8$

$26x=18$

$x=\frac{18}{26}$

simplify

$x=\frac{9}{13}$

<em>Find the width of rectangle</em>

$W=12x\ cm$

substitute the value of x

$W=12(\frac{9}{13})=\frac{108}{13}\ cm$

Convert to mixed number

$\frac{108}{13}\ cm=\frac{104}{13}+\frac{4}{13}=8\frac{4}{13}\ cm$

Help it’s slope idk how to do it

Over [174]

a. $\boxed{y-602=\frac{2}{3}(x-3)}$

b. For every month the pine tree grows about 0.67 inches.

c. <em> </em>It represents the height of the tree at the moment Ariel started to record the heights.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

<h3>PART A.</h3>

In this exercise we have that in July Ariel recorded the height of a pine tree and how quickly it was expected to grow in next several months. From the Table, we can get the following points:

$P_{1}(3,602) \\ \\ P_{2}(6,604) \\ \\ P_{3}(q,606) \\ \\ P_{4}(12,608)$

It is obvious that this problem follows a linear equation, so our goal is to find the equation that matches the Table.

The point slope form of the equation of a line is:

$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1}) \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ m:Slope \\ \\ (x_{1}, y_{1}):A \ point \ on \ the \ line$

Finding (m):

$Using: \\ \\ P_{1}(x_{1},y_{1}) \rightarrow P_{1}(3,602) \\ \\ P_{2}(x_{2}, y_{2}) \rightarrow P_{2}(6,604) \\ \\ m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{604-602}{6-3} \\ \\ m=\frac{2}{3}$

Finally, the equation of the line is:

$(x_{1}, y_{1}) \rightarrow (3,602) \\ \\ \boxed{y-602=\frac{2}{3}(x-3)}$

<h3>PART B.</h3>

In this case, we have that:

The x-axis represents the <em>Number of Months </em>the pine tree was expected to grow.
The y-axis represents the <em>Height of the Tree </em>in inches.

Since the slope o a line is:

$Slope=\frac{Change \ in \ y}{Change \ in \ x}=\frac{2}{3}$

Then, this means that<em> every three months the pine tree grows two inches, </em><em>or </em><em>for every month the pine tree grows about 0.67 inches.</em>

<h3>PART C.</h3>

The y-intercept can be found setting $x=0$ . So, from our equation:

$y-602=\frac{2}{3}(x-3)} \\ \\ \\ If \ x=0: \\ \\ y-602=\frac{2}{3}(0-3) \\ \\ y-602=-2 \\ \\ Solving \ for \ y: \\ \\ y=602-2 \\ \\ y=600$

So the y-intercept is $y=600$ and<em> represents the height of the tree at the moment Ariel started to record the heights.</em>

There are 9 classes of 25 students each 4 teachers in two times as many chaperones as teachers each bus hold a total of 45 peopl

Tanya [424]

Answer:

Least number of bus require for trip = 5 buses (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of classes = 9

Number of student in each class = 25

Number of teacher = 4

Number of chaperones = Double of teacher

Bus hold = 45 people

Find:

Least number of bus require for trip

Computation:

Total number of student = 9 × 25

Total number of student = 225

Number of chaperones = 4 × 2

Number of chaperones = 8

Total people = 225 + 8 + 4

Total people = 237

Least number of bus require for trip = Total people / Bus hold

Least number of bus require for trip = 237 / 45

Least number of bus require for trip = 5.266

Least number of bus require for trip = 5 buses (Approx)
