Answer: 2 13/16 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a car travels 5/16 of a mile in 1/4 of a minute. The number of miles that the car will travel in 2 1/4 minute will be calculated as:

= 5/16 ÷ ( 1/4 / 2 1/4)

= 5/16 × 2 1/4 / 1/4

= 5/16 × (9/4 ÷ 1/4)

= 5/16 × 9

= 45/16

= 2 13/16 miles

The car will travel 2 13/16 miles in 2 1/4 minutes.

What is the standard form of the linear function that passes

babunello [35]

standard form for a linear equation means

• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions

• only the constant on the right-hand-side

• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted

• "x" must not have a negative coefficient

$(\stackrel{x_1}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-2}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-2}-\stackrel{y1}{1}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{2}-\underset{x_1}{4}}}\implies \cfrac{-3}{-2}\implies \cfrac{3}{2} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{1}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{3}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{4})$

$\stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{2}}{2(y-1)=2\left( \cfrac{3}{2}(x-4) \right)}\implies 2y-2 = 3(x-4)\implies 2y-2=3x-12 \\\\\\ -3x+2y-2=-12\implies -3x+2y=-10\implies \stackrel{\times -1\textit{ to both sides}}{3x-2y=10}$

A number increases by 10%, and then decreases by 10%. Will the result be greater than, less than, or equal to the original numbe

elena-s [515]

Given that the number is x,
10% increase will give us a new number of:
110/100*x
=1.1x
10% decrease will give us a new number of:
90/100*1.1x
=0.99x
This implies the new number is less than the original number
