It takes four workers six hours and 45 minutes to plant 24 trees. If the time it takes to plant trees varies directly with the n

umber of trees and inversely with the number of workers, how many trees could 9 workers plant in four and a half hours?​

Answer:

36 trees

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that It takes four workers six hours and 45 minutes to plant 24 trees. Also that the time it takes to plant trees varies directly with the number of trees and inversely with the number of workers.

Thus,

t ∝ x/n

Where;

x is number of trees

n is number of workers

Now, opening the proportion symbol, we have;

t = kx/n

Where k is the constant of proportionality.

t = 6 hours 45 minutes = 6¾ hours = 6.75 hours

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

6.75 = 24k/4

k = 4 × 6.75/24

k = 1.125

Now, we want to know how many trees could 9 workers plant in four and a half hours (4.5 hours)

Applying the same as above and Plugging in k = 1.125, we have;

4.5 = 1.125x/9

x = 9 × 4.5/1.125

x = 36 trees

frank rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of 14.95, and there was an additional charge of 78 cents for each mile dr
Gemiola [76]
Answer : 153 miles

Explanation : first take 134.29 & subtract the 14.95 base fee which give you 119.34 . now divide 119.34 by 78 which gives you 1.53. so he drove 153 miles.
equation : 14.95+ 0.78x = 134.29 . to double check just multiply 153 x 0.78 and add $14.95 which gives us the total of $134.29

Which of these is a point-slope equation of the line that is perpendicular to y-25=2(x-10) and passes through (-3,7)
OLEGan [10]
Y = 2x +13

We know the slope to be 2 because lines that are parallel have the same slope. Then we can solve using slope-intercept form and  the known point. 

y = mx + b ----> Input known values
7 = (2)(-3) + b ---> Multiple
7 = -6 + b ----> Subtract 3 from both sides
13 = b

Now we can use the y-intercept found and the slope to write the equation above.

A researcher measures daily driving distance from college and weekly cost of gas for a group of commuting college students. What
juin [17]

Answer:

There is a positive correlation between these two variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

Positive correlation is an association amid two variables in which both variables change in the same direction.  

A positive correlation occurs when one variable declines as the other variable declines, or one variable escalates while the other escalates.

As the distance covered by the vehicle increases the amount of gas consumed also increases. Thus, the weekly cost of gas will also increase.

Thus, there is a positive correlation between these two variables.

How to subtract radians?
Dafna1 [17]
You first need to make sure the denominators are equal, then when they are, you can add/subtract the numerators. Then you can place the result over the common denominator.

I hope this helps! :)
