A distance of 30 miles on a map is represented by a 2-inch line. If the map is enlarged to 3 times its size, what will be the sc

vichka [17]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{5}\frac{in}{miles}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The original scale of the map is

$\frac{2}{30}\frac{in}{miles}=\frac{1}{15}\frac{in}{miles}$

If the map is enlarged to 3 times its size

then

the new scale will be

$\frac{2*3}{30}\frac{in}{miles}=\frac{6}{30}=\frac{1}{5}\frac{in}{miles}$

The cost for two different companies to make x candles is shown on the graph.

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

D) Quick Wick will make more candles when the cost is $600.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the initial value (b) and the cost per candle (m), to write the equation of each line in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b. This will help for easy comparison.

✔️Wax Art:

m = change in y/change in x

Using (10, 140) and (20, 180),

m = (180 - 140)/(20 - 10) = 40/10

m = 4

Cost per candle = $4

To find b, substitute (x, y) = (10, 140) and m = 4 into y = mx + b

140 = 4(10) + b

140 = 40 + b

140 - 40 = b

100 = b

b = 100

Initial value = $100

To get the equation, substitute m = 4 and b = 100 into y = mx + b

y = 4x + 100

✔️Quick Wick:

m = change in y/change in x

Using (10, 120) and (30, 180),

m = (180 - 120)/(30 - 10) = 60/20

m = 3

Cost per candle = $3

To find b, substitute (x, y) = (10, 120) and m = 3 into y = mx + b

120 = 3(10) + b

140 = 30 + b

120 - 30 = b

90 = b

b = 90

Initial value = $90

To get the equation, substitute m = 3 and b = 90 into y = mx + b

y = 3x + 90

Let's analyse each option given using the information we now have:

✔️Option A: INCORRECT

Cost per candle for made is $1 less for Quick Wick. I.e. cost per candle for Quick wick is $3. Cost per candle for Wax Art is $4.

✔️Option B: INCORRECT

Difference between the initial value sof the two companies = $100 - $90 = $10

✔️Option C:

Find the cost of making 50 candles for each company by substituting x = 50 into each of their equations. Thus:

Wax Art => y = 4x + 100

y = 4(50) + 100

y = $300

Wax Art will make 50 candles for $300

Quick Wick => y = 3x + 90

y = 3(50) + 90

y = $240

Quick Wick makes 50 candles for $240

As we can see, Quick wick is making 50 candles at a lower cost than Wax Art.

Therefore, option C is INCORRECT.

✔️Option D: find out how many candles (x) each company will make when the cost is $600.

Substitute y = 600 in each equation of both companies

Wax Art => y = 4x + 100

600 = 4x + 100

600 - 100 = 4x

500 = 4x

500/4 = x

x = 125 candles

Quick Wick => y = 3x + 90

600 = 3x + 90

600 - 90 = 3x

510 = 3x

510/3 = x

x = 170 candles

Quick Wick will make more candles when he cost is $600.

Therefore, option D is the only CORRECT statement of comparison.

Which box plot correctly displays the data set with a maximum of 48, a minimum of 27, a median of 36, an upper quartile of 45, a

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Image 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, we need to know how to use a box plot.

I've attached an image that demonstrates this well and can teach you what each part of the box plot means.

Specifically, the 2 farthest dots at the end are the minimum and maximum. The two sides where the box starts are the lower and upper quartiles. Finally, the line in the middle of the box is the median.

With this, we can analyze each box plot and determine which one is correct.

Box Plot 1: Everything is plotted correctly- Maximum and minimum plotted correctly, median plotted correctly, upper and lower quartile plotted correctly.

Box Plot 2: Everything plotted correctly EXCEPT maximum of 48 is represented at 46.

Box Plot 3: Everything plotted correctly EXCEPT the upper quartile of 45 is at 39.

Box Plot 4: Upper quartile represented at 39 and maximum represented at 46 are both incorrect.
