Answer:

600 minutes total

Step-by-step explanation:

Inch = 100

1/100 every minute

100/100 = 1 inch and 100 minutes

600/100 = 6 inch and 600 minutes

Answer:

y=-1/100x+6 or y=-1x+600

Step-by-step explanation:

6 inches is the Y intercept (600,0) if measuring by 1/100 or (6,0)

Since the wax is melting, the slope  is going to be negative

y=mx+6 or y=mx+600 either is fine and would yield the same results

y=-.01x+6, y=1/100x+6 or y=-1x+600

To explainn why 6 and 600 are both fine, 6 is measuring with full inches while the 600 is measuring with .01 inches. One graph will be full numbers while the other will be decimals.

the figure is made of up of a cone and a cylinder, to the nearest whole number what is the approximate volume of this figure. PL
Deffense [45]
The total volume is the sum of volume of cone and volume of cylinder.

Volume of cylinder = πr²h
π = 3.14
r = 4/2 = 2 mm
h = 2 mm

So, volume of cylinder equals:

3.14 *(2)^{2}*2 =25.12 mm³

Volume of cone = \frac{1}{3} \pi  r^{2}h
π = 3.14
r = 2 mm
h = 3 mm

So, volume of cylinder equals:

\frac{1}{3}*3.14* (2)^{2}*3=18.84mm³

Thus, total volume of the figure = 25.12 + 18.84 = 43.96 mm³

Answer:

They are both proportional.

Tank A = .00375 minutes/gallon

Tank B = 2/600 or ~0.003 minutes/gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

They are both proportional because as time increases, the amount of gallons increases.

Tank A unit rate

Tank B unit rate

Rate = rise / run

Choose points on the graph that has definite points.

Tank A = (1.5 mins - 0.75 mins) / 200 gallons

Tank A = .00375 minutes/gallon

Tank B = (2 mins - 0 mins) / 600 gallons

Tank B = 2/600 or .003 minutes/gallon

Staci has seven more cats than Taylor. Write an expression that illustrates how many cats Staci has. Use X to represent the numb
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

If the amount of cats Taylor has is x and Staci has 7 more cats you are basically adding 7

so since The amount of Taylor's cats are x and you are adding 7 it would be written as

x+7
