Answer:
around 5 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
To find a percent from a decimal, you multiply the decimal by 100. So, the answer would be A.
A: Speed is Independent as it can be anything with no restrictions. Gas mileage is dependent as it relies on the value of speed for its value to be decided.
B: The first letter of speed is "S" so it can represent the variable. The first letter of mileage is "M" so the variable can be represented by that letter. It really can be any letter.
C: no context
D: no context
180 is the degrees a straight line segment is. This means that
4x + 3x + 2x = 180.
Since these all have the same variable (x), then you can add the coefficients. (4,3,2)
9x = 180
180/9 = x
X = 20
The initial height of the balloon is 10 feet which then increases by 70% to (10 ×1.7) = 17 feet, then to (17 × 1.7) =28.9 feet, and so fourth if the rate of increase is kept constant. Therefore, forming a geometric sequence such that to get any term in the sequence we use the formula ar∧(n-1), where a is the first term, r is the common ratio, and n is the term in the sequence. In this case a is 10 and r= 1.7 , to get the height in the fourth minute it means n =5 (for the first term there is 0 minutes, such that for 0 minutes n= 1)
Thus, 10 × 1.7 ∧ 4 = 83.521 feet.
Therefore, the answer is 83.521 feet
