Answer:
Ben's rate is
greater than Kate's rate.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. If it takes Ben 2 days to write reports, then his rate is
of reports per day.
2. If it takes Kate 3 days to write reports, then her rate is
of reports per day.
3. Ben's rate is

greater than Kate's rate.
Answer:
height = 20.5068 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data in the question;
First, lets calculate the amplitude, midline and period of 8minutes
Amplitude = 35 / 2 = 17.5
|A| = 17.5
A = - 17.5 { since the wheel starts at 6 o clock }
midline C = (35/2) + 3
C = 17.5 + 3
C = 20.5
And period is 8 minutes
⇒ 2π/B = 8
8B = 2π
B = 2π/8 = π/4
So our equation will be in the form of;
y = h(t) = Acos(B×t) + C
∴ h(t) = -17.5cos( π/4×t) + 20.5
Now, How high are you off the ground after 6 minutes
⇒ height = -17.5cos( π/4 × 6) + 20.5
height = -17.5cos( π/4 × 6) + 20.5
height = -17.5cos( 4.71238898) + 20.5
height = -17.5 × cos( 4.712) + 20.5
height = -17.5 × -0.00038898 + 20.5
height = 0.0068 + 20.5
height = 20.5068 m
Ok , with that information we can write the equations
x + y = 6
5x + 4y = 28
Where x = how many people ordered chicken
and y = how many people ordered egg salad
Through elimination , we can set one of the variables in both equations equal so we can eliminate it :
(4)x + (4)y = (4)6
5x + 4y = 28
4x + 4y = 24. equation 1
5x + 4y = 28. equation 2
Now we can subtract the second equation by the first equation and isolate one variable:
equation 2 - equation 1
5x - 4x + 4y - 4y = 28 - 24
x = 4
Now that we discovered our x value ( How many people ordered chicken salad ) , we can apply it to one of the equations and discover y ( how many people ordered egg salad)
x + y = 6
x= 4
4 + y = 6
We can shift 4 to the other side of the equation by subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation:
4 - 4 + y = 6 - 4
y = 2
x=4 and y=2
So the awnser is :
4 people ordered chicken salad and 2 people ordered egg salad!
I hope you understood my brief explanation!!
