Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 250 \ people}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a proportion using the following setup.

\frac {buses}{people}=\frac {buses}{people}

We know 30 buses can carry 1,500 people.

\frac {30 \ buses}{1500 \ people}=\frac {buses}{people}

We don't know how many people 5 buses can carry, so we say 5 buses carry x people.

\frac {30 \ buses}{1500 \ people}=\frac {5 \ buses}{x \ people}

\frac {30 }{1500 }=\frac {5 }{x }

Cross multiply. Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the second fraction's denominator. Then, multiply the first denominator by the second numerator.

30*x=1500*5\\30x=7500

Solve for x. It is being multiplied by 30. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 30.

30x/30=7500\\x=250

5 buses can carry 250 people.

(2, 4) and (6, 12) find slope
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula: change of y over change of x.

When you do that, your systems should look like this:

x1 = 2

y1 = 4

x2 = 6

y2 = 12

After that you plug these number into the corresponding variable.

(12 - 4) / (6 - 2) = 8/4 which equals 2.

Warm up. help please
vampirchik [111]
Exponents are similar in concept to multipication. Multiplication is repeated addition and exponents are repeated multiplication.
So x^3 = x*x*x
f(-2) = (-2)(-2)(-2) = -8
Try the others For yourself!
