The problem tells us that in 5 seconds, the person descended 65 feet.

Therefore, we can calculate how many feet the person descended in one second:
x = 65 \div 5 \\ x = 13

They descended 13 feet per second.
Because their altitude is decreasing, The unit rate would be negative: -13 feet per second

A parachutist descends 65 feet in 5 seconds.

To find the unit rate, you need to find how many feet the parachutist descends <u>per second(for 1 second)</u>


You can divide 65 by 5 to get the # of feet per second.

65/5 = 13


13 feet per second

Andre and Elena are each saving money. Andre starts with $100 in his savings account and adds $5 per week. Elena starts with $10
stira [4]

Answer:

6 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to write an equation for each.

For Andre, he has 100 dollars, and every week gets 5 dollars more. You add the 5 dollars, and Since you don't know how many weeks it has been, use a variable.

For Elena, she has 10 dollars, and gets 20 each week.

Now that you know that it has been 4 weeks, you can plug in 4 for the variable for weeks.

Andrew:100+5(4)=100+20+120

Elena: 10+20(4)=10+80=90

Andrew has more money in this time.

To find when they have the same amount, equal their expressions to each other. This means that they will have the same amount (because they are equalled) and you can solve to find the variable, which means the weeks that they are equal at.

Bring the like terms to each side by canceling them out. Since you have positive 10, then subtract 10 to each side. You have 5w, so subtract 5w to each side.

100+5w=10+20w

90+5w=20w

90=15w

90 divided by 15=6

w=6

How do i reduce a shape by using the scale factor 2:1
bearhunter [10]

Answer: i think you're talking about dilations and there are specific formulas depending on the situation.

for example: the dilation of (x,y) is (-1/2x, -1/2y).

you'd probably need to subtract 2 from whatever measurements of the shape you're working with. i'm not completely sure though
