Answer:   53.1441%

==========================================================

Explanation:

Assuming each event is independent of one another, the probability of catching the tennis ball three times in a row is

(0.81)^3 = (0.81)*(0.81)*(0.81) = 0.531441

This converts to 53.1441%

Answer:

Part 1) see the explanation

Part 2) see the explanation

Part 3) see the explanation

Part 4) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question in English is</em></u>

Read the situations and do the following with each one:

Write down the magnitudes involved

Write which magnitude is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable

It represents the function that describes the situation

SITUATIONS:

1) A machine prints 840 pages every 30 minutes.

2) An elevator takes 6 seconds to go up two floors.

3) A company rents a car at S/ 480 for 12 days.

4) 10 kilograms of papaya cost S/ 35

Part 1) we have

A machine prints 840 pages every 30 minutes

Let

x ----> the time in minutes (represent the variable independent or input value)

y ---> the number of pages that the machine print (represent the dependent variable or output value)

Remember that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form k=\frac{y}{x} or y=kx

In this problem

we have a a proportional variation

so

The value of the constant of proportionality is equal to

 k=\frac{y}{x}

we have

y=840\ pages\\x=30\ minutes

substitute

 k=\frac{840}{30}=28\ pages/minute

The linear equation is

y=28x

Part 2) we have

An elevator takes 6 seconds to go up two floors.

Let

x ----> the time in seconds (represent the variable independent or input value)

y ---> the number of floors (represent the dependent variable or output value)

Remember that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form k=\frac{y}{x} or y=kx

In this problem

we have a a proportional variation

so

The value of the constant of proportionality is equal to

 k=\frac{y}{x}

we have

y=2\ floors\\x=6\ seconds

substitute

 k=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}\ floors/second

The linear equation is

y=\frac{1}{3}x

Part 3) we have

A company rents a car at S/ 480 for 12 days.

Let

x ----> the number of days (represent the variable independent or input value)

y ---> the cost of rent a car (represent the dependent variable or output value)

Remember that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form k=\frac{y}{x} or y=kx

In this problem

we have a a proportional variation

so

The value of the constant of proportionality is equal to

 k=\frac{y}{x}

we have

y=\$480\\x=12\ days

substitute

 k=\frac{480}{12}=\$40\ per\ day

The linear equation is

y=40x

Part 4) we have

10 kilograms of papaya cost S/ 35

Let

x ----> the kilograms of papaya (represent the variable independent or input value)

y ---> the cost  (represent the dependent variable or output value)

Remember that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form k=\frac{y}{x} or y=kx

In this problem

we have a a proportional variation

so

The value of the constant of proportionality is equal to

 k=\frac{y}{x}

we have

y=\$35\\x=10\ kg

substitute

 k=\frac{35}{10}=\$3.5\ per\ kg

The linear equation is

y=3.5x

#14 write the given sentence as an equation. Tim'S age in 7 years will be three times what it was 19 years ago
kobusy [5.1K]
The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables.
 We have then:
 x = Tim's age
 Now we write the equation:
 x + 7 = 3 (x-19)
 Answer:
 
Tim's age in 7 years will be three times what it was 19 years ago:
 
x + 7 = 3 (x-19)
