Answer:
1) B. $12
2) B. Rich burns 1 more calorie per minute than Katie
3) C. Jeffery walks 5 meters per minute slower than Fumi.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) earnings / hours = salary
salary = 24/2 = 60/5 = 96/8 = 12
salary = $12
2) The question describes Rich's graph to have the function of "y=8x." The graph shown that represents Katie's number of burned calories has the function of "y=7x." From that we can conclude Rich burns one more calorie per minute. See attached file for graph.
3) The question describes Fumi's graph to have the function of "y=85x." In order to find the function of Jeffrey's graph, we must use the two points provided from the graph. The point (10, 800) tells us that the point (1,80) would also fall on the line. From that, we can determine Jeffery's function to be "y=80x." 80 is 5 less than 85, so Fumi walks 5 meters per minute faster than Jeffery.
