Answer: Carlton's cabs is the cheaper option if she wants to travel 15 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear relationship can be written as:

c = a*n + b

where a is the slope (in this case, the rate per mile), n is the number of miles driven by the taxi, and b is the y-axis (in this case, the initial cost) intercept.

For a line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the slope can be written as:

a = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1).

Then for each table we only need to take two points and construct the linear equation:

Treveon's Taxis:

We can use the two points (1, $5.25) and (3, $9.75)

Then the rate per mile, or the slope, will be:

a = ($9.75 - $5.25)/(3 - 1) = $2.25

This means that each mile costs $2.25

Then the equation will be written as:

c = $2.25*n + b

To find the value of b, we can just replace one of the points in the equation. For example, I will se the point (1, $5.25) this means that we need to replace n  by 1, and c by $5.25

Then:

$5.25 = $2.25*1 + b

$5.25 - $2.25 = b

$3 = b

Then the initial cost here is $3.

And the equation will be:

c = $2.25*n + $3.

Carlton's Cabs:

Same approach as before, here I will use the points (1, $7.00) and (3, $10.50)

Then the rate per mile will be:

a = ($10.50 - $7.00)/(3 - 1) = $1.75

The rate per mile is $1.75 (is cheaper than in the previous case)

Then at the moment, the equation is:

c = $1.75*n + b

To find the initial cost, we do the same as before, here i will use the point (1, $7.00)

$7.00 = $1.75*1 + b

$7.00 - $1.75 = b

$5.25 = b

The initial cost here is $5.25

And the equation will be:

c = $1.75*n + $5.25

Now, which one is cheaper for 15 miles?

We only need to replace n by 15 in both equations, and see in which one the cost is lower:

Treveon's Taxis:

c(15) = $2.25*15 + $3 = $36.75

Carlton's Cabs:

c(15) = $1.75*15 + $5.25 = $31.5

Then Carlton's Cabs is a better option if you want to travel 15 miles.

1st set = 4 letters

2nd set = 4x 4 = 16 letters

3rd set = 16 x 4 = 64 letters

4th set = 64 x 4 = 256 letters

5th set = 256 x 4 = 1,024 letters

6th set =1024 x 4 = 4,096 letters

7th set = 4096 x 4 = 16,384 letters

8th set = 16,384 x 4 = 65,536 letters

Each letter cost 2

Total cost = 65,536 x 2 = 131,072

Instructions for a blanket call for 36 yards of yarn. A skein of yarn has 6 feet in in. How many skeins of yarn do you need?
Aloiza [94]
For this case the first thing you should know is the following unit conversion:
 1 yard = 3 feet
 Applying the conversion we have:
 6 * (1/3) = 2 yards
 Therefore the number of skeins of yarn is:
 N = (36) / (2)
 N = 18
 Answer:
 
You need 18 skeins of yarn
