<h3>Answer:  40 inches</h3>

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

Explanation:

  • x = first piece
  • 2x = second piece, since its twice as long as the first
  • 5x = third piece, since its five time as long as the first

x is some positive real number, and the units of each are in inches.

Add up the smaller pieces and we should get 64 inches back again

x+2x+5x = 64

8x = 64

x = 64/8

x = 8

The first piece is 8 inches long.

2x = 2*8 = 16 is the length of the second piece (in inches)

The third piece is 40 inches because 5x = 5*8 = 40

--------

Summary:

first = 8 inches

second = 16 inches

third = 40 inches

Check: 8+16+40 = 64, which confirms the answer

Choose the answer that validates that the rate of change is constant by showing that the ratios of the two quantities are propor
docker41 [41]

Given:

The table of values is

Number of Students   :  7    14   21    28

Number of Textbooks : 35  70  105  140

To find:

The rate of change and showing that the ratios of the two quantities are proportional and equivalent to the unit rate.

Solution:

The ratio of number of textbooks to number of students are

\dfrac{35}{7}=5

\dfrac{70}{14}=5

\dfrac{105}{21}=5

\dfrac{140}{28}=5

All the ratios of the two quantities are proportional and equivalent to the unit rate.

Let y be the number of textbooks and x be the number of students, then

\dfrac{y}{x}=k

Here, k=5.

\dfrac{y}{x}=5

y=5x

Hence the rate of change is constant that is 5.
