A lake near the Arctic Circle is covered by a 2-meter-thick sheet of ice during the cold winter months. When spring arrives, the warm air gradually melts the ice, causing its thickness to decrease at a constant rate. After 3 weeks, the sheet is only 1.25 meters thick. Let y represent the ice sheet's thickness ( in meters) after x weeks. Complete the equation for the relationship between the thickness and number of weeks.
Answer:
y = 2 - 0.25x
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, the initial thickness of the ice sheet = 2 meters,
After 3 weeks, the thickness of ice sheet reduced to 1.25 meters
Hence, the difference in the thickness in 3 weeks is calculated as:
2m - 1.25m = 0.75m
The amount of changes that occurred in 3 weeks is given as:
= 0.75/3 = 0.25 meters,
We are told that, the ice is melting with the constant rate.
Therefore, the equation for the relationship between the thickness and number of weeks is given as:
y = 2 - 0.25x
Answer:
Density is usually expressed as grams per cubic centimeter.
Volume = 55 * 25 * 20 = 27,500 cc
Density = Mass / Volume = 4,000 grams / 27,500 cc
= 0.1454545455 grams/cc
which is an extremely low density
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>the answer will have to be the second choice cause it seems more correct</span>
D. is the correct answer because vertical angles are always equal.
Answer:
okay I'll try my best but I'm I just suppose to explain the equation?
