Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is attached herewith.

Also the options for the same are as follows -

What is the meaning of the slope of the trend line shown on the scatterplot?

A A plant grows about 3 inches for every 2 hours of sunlight it receives.

B A plant grows about 2 inches for every 3 hours of sunlight it receives.

C A plant grows about 3 inches for every 1 hour of sunlight it receives.

D A plant grows about 1 inch for every 3 hours of sunlight it receives.

Solution

If we look at the graph, we can see that in 6 hours the tomato plant grew by 2 inches.

At the X axis, when x = 6 hours, the y co-ordinate at X = 6 hours is 2 inches.

Hence, It can be interpreted that 1 inch of the tomato plant grows in 3 hours.

Hence, option D is correct

Find the percent of decrease from 340 to 260. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent if necessary.

Marina CMI [18]

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 340 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.

2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.

3. If 100% equals 340, so we can write it down as 100%=340.

4. We know, that x% equals 260 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=260.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 100%=340

2) x%=260

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

100%/x%=340/260

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 260 is what percent of 340

100%/x%=340/260

(100/x)*x=(340/260)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100=1.30769230769*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.30769230769) to get x

100/1.30769230769=x

76.4705882353=x

x=76.4705882353

now we have:

260 is 76.4705882353% of 340

The sum of two numbers is 90 and the greater number exceeds twice the smaller by 15. Find the smaller number.

ASHA 777 [7]

Let smaller number is x

Greater number =2x+15

According to the question

Greater number + smaller number =90

2x+15+x=90

3x=75

x=25

And 2x+15=65

Hence, numbers are 25 and 65
