Answer:
1. the y-intercept is 9.5 and it means the starting length of the candle
2. the slope is -1/2 and it means that the candle burns 1/2 an inch every hour
3. it burns an inch every 2 hours, it is 9.5 inches long, so 19 hours it'll take to burn.
Ricky jogged 6 miles on tuesday and 6 miles on friday
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
Rick jogged the same distance on tuesday and friday
Let "x" be the distance jooged on each tuesday and friday
He also jogged for 8 miles on sunday
Total of 20 miles for the week
Therefore, we frame a equation as,
total distance jogged = miles jogged on tuesday + miles jogged on friday + miles jogged on sunday
20 = x + x + 8
20 = 2x + 8
2x = 20 - 8
2x = 12
x = 6
Thus Ricky jogged 6 miles on tuesday and 6 miles on friday
Kelly: 4y Lou: y Tiffany: 6y
4y + y + 6y = 11y
682/11 =62
Kelly: 4x62 = 248 songs
Lou: 1x63 = 62 songs
Tiffany: 6x62 = 373 songs
The estimate for the total population size is 1600.
Setting up a proportion for this, we know that 150 out of our 300 turtle sample is marked; this is the first ratio for the proportion. We also know that we marked 800 of our total population, which we will call x:
150/300 = 800/x
Cross multiply:
150*x = 300*800
150x = 240000
Divide both sides by 150:
150x/150 = 240000/150
x = 1600
