Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
- t = time (in hours) → this is the independent variable
- s = total area cleaned (in square feet) → this is the dependent variable (as the number of square feet cleaned depends on the number of hours worked)
Therefore, if the rate of cleaning is 8 1/4 square feet per hour, the relationship between s and t is:

If these four line segments are connected (kind of like a square) then only 4 endpoints are needed, but if they are all separate line segments, then you would need a maximum of 8 endpoints because any line segment has 2 endpoints and 4 line segments with 2 endpoints a piece equals 8 endpoints in total.
I hope this helped! :)
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we are decreasing the number so it has to be a decrease.
Next, we divide 7/31 and get around 0.23, which also represents 23 percent.
This only shows that 7 is 23 percent of 31, so we need to find the decrease by seeing the difference of 100 and 23.
We get 100 - 23 = 77, and because it is a decrease we get B.
Answer: 3
Step-by-step explanation: Half of 5 is 2.5 so 3 2/5 will be estimated to a 3 1/2 and 5/8 is very close to 4 which is half of 8. so 5/8 will be estimated to 1/2! Both of them subtracted is gonna be 3 because 1/2 - 1/2 is 0!
Have a great day!
