Answer:
a. 3/4 inches per minute
b. -1 1/8 inches per minute
c. B is fastest; 1 1/8 is more than 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
A <em>change</em> is a <em>difference</em>. A <em>rate of change</em> is <em>one difference divided by another</em>, usually the change in y-value divided by the change in x-value.
__
<h3>a.</h3>
The change in elevation is the difference between the elevation at the end of the period (6 inches) and the elevation at the beginning of the period (3 inches). The change in time period is the difference between the end time (8 min) and the beginning time (4 min).
change in elevation per minute = (6 -3 inches)/(8 -4 min)
= (3 inches)/(4 min) = 3/4 inches/minute
__
<h3>b.</h3>
Similarly, ...
change in elevation per minute = (3 -7 1/2 inches)/(18 -14 min)
= (-4 1/2 inches)/(4 min) = -1 1/8 inches/minute
__
<h3>c.</h3>
We know that 3/4 is more than -1 1/8, but when we talk about the "fastest rate of change", we're generally interested in the magnitude--the value without the sign. That means we understand a rate of change of -1 1/8 inches per minute to be "faster" than a rate of change of 3/4 inches per minute.
The rate of change from Part B is fastest. 1 1/8 inches per minute is more than 3/4 inches per minute.
Answer:
1. City A: 150 violent crimes per 100,000 residents.
City B: 161 violent crimes per 100,000 residents.
2. City A
Step-by-step explanation:
City A:
Population = 123,000
Violent crimes = 185
Violent crimes per 100,000 people:
City B:
Population = 84,000
Violent crimes = 135
Violent crimes per 100,000 people:
1. City A: 150 violent crimes per 100,000 residents.
City B: 161 violent crimes per 100,000 residents.
2. Even though it has a bigger number of crimes, City A has the lowest crime rate since its population is larger.
Answer:
$15.28 for 6 issues cost more
Step-by-step explanation:
$29.88 divided by 12 is $2.49
$15.28 divided by6 is $2.546
The answer would be C (P=T/2). This can be explained by examining the ratio. If you were to put in the answer of T = 12, then you would be looking for T/2 or 6, assuming we're giving them each half of the amount original held by grandmother.
40% are boys. divide 2 by 5 and then multiply by 100
