the new recycling plan. p = 12w The variable w represents the number of weeks the office has been on the new recycling plan, and the variable p represents the total kilograms of paper recycled. How many weeks will it take Scott's office to recycle a total of 12 kilograms of paper?

Answer:

1 week

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

p = 12w

Where,

w = number of weeks the office has been on the new recycling plan

p = total kilograms of paper recycled.

How many weeks will it take Scott's office to recycle a total of 12 kilograms of paper?

Find w when p = 12

p = 12w

12 = 12w

Divide both sides by 12

w = 12/12

= 1

w = 1 week

I geologist note is that the land alone at fault line moved 24.8 cm over the past 175 years on average how much did the land mor
zmey [24]
First, let's establish a ratio between these two values. We'll use that as a starting point. I personally find it easiest to work with ratios as fractions, so we'll set that up:

\frac{24.8\ cm}{175\ years}

To find the distance <em>per year</em>, we'll need to find the <em>unit rate</em> of this ratio in terms of years. The word <em>unit</em> refers to the number 1 (coming from the Latin root <em>uni-</em> ); a <em>unit rate</em> involves bringing the number we're interested in down to 1 while preserving the ratio. Since we're looking for the distance the fault line moves every one year, we'll have to bring that 175 down to one, which we can do by dividing it by 175. To preserve our ratio, we also have to divide the top by 175:

\frac{24.8\ cm}{175\ years}\div  \frac{175}{175}  \approx  &#10;\frac{0.14\ cm}{1\ year}

We have our answer: approximately 0.14 cm or 1.4 mm per year
