By moving the signs he actually changed the number itself. He changed -6 from a negative to a positive and 5 from a positive to a negative. Both equations give different answers.
Hopefully this helps :)
We are using a line regression tool to solve the parameters asked in the problem. We can use online tools or that of Excel. According to the tool, the best fit values are
<span><span> </span><span>Slope0.3848 ± 0.03956
</span><span>Y-intercept0.6053 ± 0.6370
</span><span>X-intercept-1.573
</span><span>1/Slope<span>2.598
Best fit lines make sure that the standard deviation at each point is minimum from the best fit line.</span></span></span>
<h2>Answer :</h2>
- He need 111.75 minutes to cook the meal
- He need to start at 2.08.15 P.M. in order to complete the cooking at 4 P.M.
<h2>Step-by-step explanation :</h2><h3>
Known :</h3>
- George can only cook one thing at a time
- Turkey takes 90 minutes to cook
- Pumpkin pie takes 20 minutes to cook
- Rolls take 60 seconds to cook
- A cup of coffee takes 45 seconds to heat
<h3>Asked :</h3>
- Time needed to cook the meal
- Time he need to start in order to complete the cooking at 4 P.M.
<h3>Completion :</h3>
Let's convert all the seconds to minutes. We know that 60 seconds is equal to one minute. So,
60 seconds = 1 minutes
45 seconds = 45/60 minutes = 0.75 minutes
Time needed = Turkey + Pumpkin pie + Rolls + Coffee
Time needed = 90 + 20 + 1 + 0.75
Time needed = 111.75 minutes
Then, we'll calculate the time he need to start in order to complete the cooking at 4 P.M. First, let's convert the minutes to clock format.
111.75 minutes = 1 hour and 51.75 minutes
111.75 minutes = 1 hour and 51 minutes and 45 seconds
Lastly, calculate the time he need to start in order to complete the cooking at 4 P.M.
4h 0m 0s - 1h 51m 45s = 2h 8m 15s
<h3>Conclusion :</h3>
- He need 111.75 minutes to cook the meal
- He need to start at 2.08.15 P.M. in order to complete the cooking at 4 P.M.
