Biologists have found that the number of chirps some types of cricket make per minute depends upon the temperature this relation

ship can be represented by a linear function when the temperature is 60° Fahrenheit to crickets chirp 92 times per minute if it is 75 Fahrenheit they will chirp 152 times per minute what will the number of chirps be per minute if the temperature is 80 degrees Fahrenheit

Answer: Crickets make 172 chirps/min at 80 degrees Fahrenheit

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Using the point slope formulae for Linear functions , we have that

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where x  and y are two points  representing the  temperature and chirps /min respectively

And  

m= slope

Step 2 : Finding the slope , m

where x1=60

           y1=92

           x2= 75

           y2=152

m= (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

= (152- 92)/(75-60)

=60/15 =4

Bringing down the point/slope formula and imputing the known values to find our equation to show the relationship cricket make per minute and  the temperature

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 92= 4(x - 60)

y - 92 = 4x -240

y = 4x - 240 + 92

y = 4x - 148

Step 3

To find the number of chirps be per minute (y) if the temperature is 80 degrees Fahrenheit( x)

y = 4(80) - 160

y = 320 - 148

y = 172 chirps/min at 80 degrees Fahrenheit

Cal is measuring temperature changes in four substances over different time periods as part of a school project. Which data show
djyliett [7]

Answer:

C) The third table. K= 5

C)\frac{10}{2}=\frac{15}{3}=\frac{25}{5}=\frac{40}{8}=k= 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Below there are the missing data:

A proportional relationship through a constant k. It is obtained when we divide:

k=\frac{y}{x}

2)In this case, when we divide the temperature (T) by the time (h).

k=\frac{T}{h}

3)So, examining the table below we are searching for a ratio k common to all measures (temperatures over hour).

A) \frac{12}{3}\neq\frac{25}{5}\neq\frac{36}{6}\neq\frac{81}{9}\\B) \frac{22.5}{3}\neq\frac{30}{4}\neq\frac{52.5}{7}\neq\frac{67.5}{8}\\C)\frac{10}{2}=\frac{15}{3}=\frac{25}{5}=\frac{40}{8}=k= 5\\D)\frac{8.5}{2}\neq\frac{22.5}{5}\neq\frac{28.5}{7}\neq\frac{36}{8}

A store sold 2.5 times as many footballs as basketballs last year. What is the number of footballs sold for every basketball sol
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You aren't able to figure out an exact number of either footballs or basketballs because you don't have enough information for that, but you do have enough to get an expression for one in terms of the other, which I imagine is the point here.  We know that for every 1 basketball sold, we sold 2.5 footballs, so the algebraic expression for that is

1 bball = 2.5 fballs

This gives us the number of bballs in terms of fballs but we want the number of fballs in terms of bballs, so solve that expression for fballs:

1 fball = 1/2.5 bballs

or, in words, for every single football sold, 2/5 of a basketball was sold.  Sounds silly, but I think your teacher is trying to get you to figure out how to express one thing in terms of another so you can use the expressions in solving story problems.

Could someone help? :)

The value missed is 1 min / 60 seconds

<h3>What is unit conversion?</h3>

Units is the conversion between different units of measurement for the same quantity, typically through multiplicative conversion factors.

To convert 720 seconds to hour,

First convert second to minutes divide by 60 and then again convert minutes to hour again divide by 60.

So,

720 seconds * ( 1 minutes /  60 seconds) * ( 1 hour / 60 minutes)

= 12 hours.
