Answer: 5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 1760 yards are in a mile. We can convert the given info into a proportion. 440/75 = 1760/x, where x is the number of seconds it takes to run a mile. Cross-multiply to get 440x = 75*1760. Divide both sides by 440 to get x = 75*4 = 300 seconds. The problem asks for how many minutes so you have to convert 300 seconds to minutes. To do this, we have to divide 300 by 60 to get 5 minutes.

The graph of a proportional relationship contains the point (8, 4).

Softa [21]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{direct proportional variation}\\\\
\textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad y=kx\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
k=constant\ of\\
\qquad variation
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
(\stackrel{x}{8}~~,~~\stackrel{y}{4})\implies 
\begin{cases}
x=8\\
y=4
\end{cases}\implies 4=k8\implies \cfrac{4}{8}=k\implies \cfrac{1}{2}=k
\\\\\\
\boxed{y=\cfrac{1}{2}x}$

Rectangle ABCD with length 24 feet and width 20 feet is dilated by a scale factor of 4/3. What is the area of rectangle A'B'C'D'

Natasha_Volkova [10]

multiply the length and with by the scale factor:

24 x 4/3 = 32 feet

20 x 4/3 = 26 2/3 feet

Area is length x width:

32 x 26 2/3 = 853 1/3 square feet.

The distance formula can be derived from the Pythagorean theorem.<br> True<br> False

netineya [11]

Correct answer is A.

d(A,B) - distance between points $A(x_1,y_1),B(x_2,y_2)$

$d^2=(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2$

a dog eats 5 cups of food a day. a pound of food contains 10.5 cups. how much does it cost to feed the dog each day if a 50 lb b

Stells [14]

So, the dog eats 5 cups a day and 1 pound of dog food is 10.5 cups.

A 50 lb bag is<span> $22.50.

Since you're asking how much it would cost to feed it a day we need to find out how much 1 pound of food costs.

</span>22.50 / 50 = 0.45

So, it's 0.45 for 1 lb. But 1 lb is 10.5 cups, not 5.

0.45 / 5 = 0.09

So, I believe it would cost 0.09 each day to feed the dog.
