To answer this problem, one way is to use the calculator and add directly the two numbers and get the average between the two. The answer is 25/77. We can also get this number by getting the LCM of the denominators which is 77. 2/7 is equal to 22/77 while 4/11 is equal to 28/77. 0.5*(22 +28) is equal to 25. Hence the answer is 25/77.
Answer:
32.8 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Amy is driving to Seattle. Suppose that the remaining distance to drive (in miles) is a linear function of her driving time (in minutes). When graphed, the function gives a line with a slope of -0.95. See the figure below. Amy has 48 miles remaining after 31 minutes of driving. How many miles will be remaining after 47 minutes of driving?
Answer: The general equation of a line is given as y = mx + c, where m is the slope of the line and c is the intercept on the y axis. Given that the slope is -0.95, substituting in the general equation :
y = -0.95x + c
Amy has 48 miles remaining after 31 minutes of driving, to find c, we substitute y = 48 and x = 31. Therefore:
48 = -0.95(31) + c
c = 48 + 0.95(31)
c = 48 + 29.45
c = 77.45
The equation of the line is
y = -0.95x + 77.45
After 47 minutes of driving, the miles remaining can be gotten by substituting x = 47 and finding y.
y = -0.95(47) + 77.45
y = -44.65 + 77.45
y = 32.8 miles
Answer:
x int(-7.5, 0)
y int (0, 5.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
12.25=2.5+13x
12.25-2.5=9.75
9.75/13=.75
