Answer:
I won't stop the line for a half hour break.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Proportions</u>
One quantity A is said to be proportional to other B if A can always be obtained by multiplying or dividing B by any constant number. Numbers {4,8,12} are proportional to {2,4,6} because they can be computed as twice their value
.
There is a situation described in the problem where we need to know if there will be enough time to produce the 900 toasters (the goal for the day) when the assembly line is stopped by half an hour.
Actual time: 2:00 pm
Final time: 5:00 pm
Rate of production: 2 toasters/minute
Actual production: 560 toasters
Updated goal: 900-560 = 340 toasters
Those 340 toasters must be produced in the remaining 3 hours (180 minutes) of work. If the assembly line stops for half an hour (30 minutes), there will be only 150 minutes to finish the goal production. At a rate of 2 toasters/minute, there will be 2*150 = 300 toasters produced. But we need to produce 340 more toasters, so that break cannot be granted or we'll be 40 toasters under goal.
It the line keeps producing for 180 minutes, it would produce 2*180 = 360 toasters, 20 more than the goal.
Note: The maximum break time that can be granted is 20/2 = 10 minutes
Answer: a, c, e explanation: I did that test and got 100%
Answer: C) 5
--------------
x = independent variable, y = dependent variable
Assuming this is a linear function, each increase of x by 2 leads to y going up by 10. So 10/2 = 5 is the unit increase each time x bumps up by 1.
-------------------
An alternative is to use the slope formula to get
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (25 - 15)/(4 - 2)
m = 10/2 <--- this expression shows up again
m = 5 <---- leading to the same answer as before
So we see that the slope formula is a more drawn out method to finding the answer.
Answer:
- B. Quadrilateral FLAG is a parallelogram because opposite sides are parallel.
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Refer to attached.</em>
Plot the point and connect in order FLAG.
<u>We see </u>
- FL ║ GA
- GF ║ AL
- FA and GL are not perpendicular
<u>All the above can be confirmed by calculating the slopes:</u>
- m(FL) = (3 - 5)/(6 - 1) = -2/5
- m(GA) = (1 + 1)/(-2-3) = -2/5
- These are same.
- m(GF) = (5 - 1)/(1 + 2) = 4/3
- m(AL) = (3 + 1)/(6 - 3) = 4/3
- These are same
- m(FA) = (-1 - 5)/(3 - 1) = -3
- m(GL) = (3 - 1)/(6 +2) = -1/4
- These are negative but not reciprocal
The quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
Correct choice is B
