Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The answer will be A because you start at 4 and in between 4 and 5 you will go up to 7 and that will be your answer
This can be solve by first solving the proportionality constant
Number electic outlets rewired is directly proportional to
time spent
4 = (1 ½)a
Let be the proportionality constant
A = 8/3
O = (8/3)(7.5)
o = 20 outlets will jamal rewired if he works for 7.5 hrs
Answer:
750 < p < 1500
Step-by-step explanation:
The total cost of the affair for p attendees is ...
750 +2.25p
The average cost is that number divided by p. The answer choices suggest that "between" means that the cost per person cannot be 2.75 or 3.25. Applying the limits to the average cost, we get ...
2.75 < (750 +2.25p)/p < 3.25
2.75 < 750/p + 2.25 < 3.25 . . . . . . . . separating the fraction parts
0.50 < 750/p < 1.00 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2.25
2 > p/750 > 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . take the reciprocal*
1500 > p > 750 . . . . . . . . matches choice 4
_____
* Taking the reciprocals of numbers with the same sign reverses their order:
2 < 3 but 1/2 > 1/3
__
An alternate approach to the solution would be to multiply by p:
0.50p < 750 < 1.00p
To solve this requires it be made into two inequalities:
0.50p < 750 ⇒ p < 1500
and
750 < 1.00p ⇒ 750 < p
Then these would need to be recombined to form the answer:
750 < p < 1500

Subtract, not add, -0.72 from both sides.
