A bus travels 36 miles in 45 minutes. How many miles will the bus travel in 60 minutes at this rate. Show a ratio.

1 answer:

3 0

A rate is a special ratio in which the two terms are in different units. A rate is a little bit different than the ratio, it is a special ratio. For this case, the rate would have units of miles per minutes. We calculate as follows:

rate = 36 miles / 45 min = 0.8 miles per min
distance traveled = 0.8 miles per min ( 60 min ) = 48 miles

Write an equation of the line with the given slope that contains the given point.

Alchen [17]

Answer:

$y=-2x+12$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the point-slope form given by:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Where <em>m</em> is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is a point.

So, we will substitute -2 for <em>m</em> and (5, 2) for (x₁, y₁). This gives us:

$y-(2)=-2(x-(5))$

Simplify:

$y-2=-2(x-5)$

Distribute:

$y-2=-2x+10$

Add 2 to both sides. Hence, our equation is:

$y=-2x+12$

Answer:

There are 364 ways of filling the offices.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, the order of filling of the offices does not matter, so, we can figure out the different ways of filling the offices by using the combination formula:

$C^{n} _{r}=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}$

where n=14 (number of members)

r=3 number of offices

n!=n·(n-1)·(n-2)·...·3·2·1

$C^{14} _{3}=\frac{14!}{(14-3)!3!}=\frac{14*13*12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{(11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1)*(3*2*1)}=\frac{14*13*12}{3*2*1} =364$
