First let's reduce the feet to miles

there are 5280 feet in a mile therefore

26400 feet=5 miles

31680 feet=6 miles

Jet A(the first jet) descends 5 miles in 96 miles

Jet B(the second jet) descends 6 miles in 120 miles

We can compare these as fractions to see which is steeper. This can be viewed as slope and the origin (0,0) is the airport.

slope: 6/120=?=5/96

1/20=?=5/96

Now we know that 5/100 =1/20 so 5/96 must be bigger than 5/100 because you are dividing by a smaller number.

so 1/20<5/96

So Jet B is descending steeper than Jet A.

As for linear model, I don't exactly know what your teacher means but I think I actually used the linear model when I'm thinking of steepness as slope in the coordinate plane, I will include a picture.

In this extremely zoomed out graph, you can see the blue line is just slighly higher than the red line(slope as in explanation is way easier to tell) this could be seen as the linear model) :) Hope it helped!

If EF=9x+14, FG=56, and EG=250, find the value of x.
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Value of x =20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: EF = 9x+14 units , FG = 56 units and EG = 250 units.

Segment Addition Postulates states the following for 3 points that are collinear.

i.e, Let three points A, B and C are collinear and B is between A and C.

i,e AC = AB + BC

By Segment addition postulates; solve for x;

EG = EF + FG

Substitute the given values we get;

250 = 9x + 14 + 56

or

250 = 9x + 70

Subtract 70 on both sides we get;

250 -70 = 9x + 70 -70

Simplify:

180 = 9x

Divide both sides by 9 we get;

\frac{180}{9} = \frac{9x}{9}

Simplify:

x = 20

Therefore, the value of x =20

Mr. Tragrr has $500.00 to spend at a bicycle store. All the prices listed down below include tax.
fgiga [73]

To answer the question, you need to determine the amount Mr. Traeger has left to spend, then find the maximum number of outfits that will cost less than that remaining amount.

Spent so far:

... 273.98 + 3×7.23 +42.36 = 338.03

Remaining available funds:

... 500.00 -338.03 = 161.97

The cycling outfits are about $80 (slightly less), and this amount is about $160 (slightly more), which is 2 × $80.

Mr. Traeger can buy two (2) cycling outfits with the remaining money.

_____

The remaining money is 161.97/78.12 = 2.0733 times the cost of a cycling outfit. We're sure he has no interest in purchasing a fraction of an outfit, so he can afford to buy 2 outfits.

Maria in on the school softball team. Her team has won 3 out of 12 games. She is having an excellent season hitting the softball
GarryVolchara [31]

Ignore the part about her batting attempts, it is extra. Her winning ratio is 3/12 which is 1/4 simplified and if you do 1/4 or 3/12 you get 0.25 which is the decimal of how many games she won / how many total. To convert 0.25 to percentage multiply it by 100 to get 25% D
