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.

Lilian says that 25% of a number will always be less than 75% of any other number. Complete one inequality to support Lillian's
rjkz [21]
She is incorrect cause if we take the number 20 and take 25% of it it equals 5 so now 20 is only 15. They if we take 75% away from 20 is equals 15 so then we only have 5 from 20 left. Therefore she’s incorrect because 75% leaves 5/20 and 25% leaves 15/20. Hope that makes sense.

deff fn [24]

Answer:

4.5 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Selma uses a jogging trail that runs through a park near her home. The trail is a loop that is 3/4 of a mile long. On Monday, Selma ran the loop in 1/6 of an hour. What is Selma's unit rate in miles per hour for Monday's run?

Distance = 3/4 of a mile

Time taken on Monday = 1/6 of an hour.

What is Selma's unit rate in miles per hour for Monday's run?

Unit rate in miles per hour for Monday's run = distance ÷ time taken

= 3/4 ÷ 1/6

= 3/4 × 6/1

= (3 * 6) / (4 * 1)

= 18/4

= 4.5 miles per hour

Unit rate in miles per hour for Monday's run = 4.5 miles per hour
