Al oeste de Albuquerque, Nuevo México, la carretera 40 con rumbo al este es recta y tiene una fuerte pendiente hacia la ciudad.
alexgriva [62]

Usando el concepto de pendiente, se encuentra que el cambio en la distancia horizontal es de 10 pies.

La pendiente de una reta es la <u>razón entre el cambio vertical y el cambio horizontal,</u> o sea, cual el cambio vertical cuando el cambio horizontal es de 1.

En este problema, hay que:

  • La pendiente es -100, o sea, cuando hay un desplazamiento de un pie por adelante, hay una queda de 100 pies.
  • Bajado 1000 pies, entonces, aplicando la proporción:

1 pie H -> -100 pies V

x pie H -> -1000 pies V

Aplicando la multiplicación cruzada:

-100x = -1000

100x = 1000

x = \frac{1000}{100}

x = 10

El cambio en la distancia horizontal es de 10 pies.

In a rock-paper-scissors game, a winner gets 5 points and a loser gets 2 points. After a man played this game 20 times, his tota
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The man wins 9 times and looses 11 times in the rock - paper-scissor game.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that in the game:

Number of times  man wins the games = x times

Number of times  man loses the games = y times

Total number of attempts = 20

Points after winning = 5

Points after loosing = 2

Now, according to the question:

       x  + y =20

and 5 x + 2 y = 67

Now, from (1) y = 20-x,     put in (2)

5x + 2y = 67       ⇒           5x + 2(20 -x)  = 67

or, 5x -2x = 67 - 40

or, 3x = 27

⇒ x = 27/3 = 9

then y = 20 - x = 20 - 9 = 11

⇒ x = 9 and y = 11 is the solution of the given system.

Hence, the man wins 9 times and looses 11 times in the rock - paper-scissor game.

Rectangle A measures 9inches by 3 inches, rectangle B is a scaled copy of rectangle A . What are all the measurements pairs that
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Dimensions of Rectangle B will be 9x inches by 3x inches where x is a scaling factor.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scaled Copy: It means that the rectangle A is related to rectangle B by some scaling (multiplying) factor x.

As we are given Dimensions of rectangle A =  9 inches by 3 inches

Then for any scaling factor x the dimensions of rectangle B will be:

Dimensions of Rectangle B = x * ( Dimensions of rectangle A)

Dimension of rectangle B = x * (9 inches by 3 inches)

Dimensions of rectangle B = 9x inches by 3x inches

For more understanding let we assume that rectangle B is scaled copy of rectangle A by scaling factor x=3; then we will have the dimensions of rectangle B as under:

For scaling factor (x) = 3;

Dimensions of Rectangle B = x * ( Dimensions of rectangle A)

Dimensions of rectangle B = 3 (9 inches by 3 inches)

Dimensions of rectangle B = 27 inches by 9 inches

On the other hand for scaling factor x=0.75, the dimensions of rectangle B will become as under;

Dimensions of Rectangle B = x * ( Dimensions of rectangle A)

Dimensions of rectangle B = 0.75 (9 inches by 3 inches)

Dimensions of rectangle B = 6.75 inches by 2.25 inches
