Answer:
B. The rate at which the balloon is rising.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mathematically speaking, the slope of the line represents the change in dependent variable (Height) divided by the change in independent variable (Time). According to the graph, a postive change in time leads to a positive change in height, meaning that slope is positive. Physically speaking, the slope represents the rate of change at which the height of the ballon is rising.
Hence, correct answer is B.
You would need to multiply one or both equations by a number that would give the the same number but opposite signs so that they cancel out.
The answer to this question would be D.
Answer: D
Step-by-step explanation:
To find how much time she need on each project divide the time by 3 because there are 3 projects and to get to 1 project you will need to divide by 3.
16 3/4 = 67/4
÷
=
= 5 7/12
Answer:
279 silvery minnow
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of Silvery Minnows initially tagged = 54
Number of minnows captured = 62
Number of tagged minnows in captured ones = 12
Remember that in the very beginning there were no tagged minnows. 54 minnows were captured, tagged and released. This means, there are total 54 tagged minnows in the entire population. Lets say there are x number of minnows in total.
So, in x minnows, 54 are tagged ones.
When 62 minnows are captured, only 12 are tagged ones and remaining are un-tagged. Since, the minnows were randomly captured, we can develop a proportion from this case to estimate the total population of minnows in the Rio Grande River.
Ratio of tagged minnows to total population must be equal to the ratio of captured tagged minnows in total captured minnows.
i.e.

This means, there were 279 silvery minnows in the Rio Grande River.
