Answer:
8h + 15 = 39
Step-by-step explanation:
The base fee is 15 so you shouldn't multiply the hours by it.
The question states 8 per hour which means that you should multiply the 8 by hours and add on the base fee which is 15.
the assumption being that "x" is a plain variable whilst "y" is a function, that matters because the chain rule would be needed for a function, not so for a plain variable.

now, we know that y(5) = -23, which is another way of saying that when x = 5, y = -23, but we already knew that, we can get that by simply plugging it into the equation hmmm y'(5), well

Answer:
1) 8 : 343
2) 42.875 or 42 ⅞
3) 4 : 49
4) 16ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of cube: s³
Surface area of cube: 6s²
_____________________
32ft^3 and 1372ft^3 →
32 : 1372 = 8 : 343
343 / 8 = 42 ⅞ = 42.875
s³ → 6s²
s³ = 8, s = 2, s² = 4.
s³ = 343, s = 7, s² = 49.
These are proportional so it is already in the simplest ratio so it is not necessary to multiply by 6.
s³ → 8 : 343
6s² → 4 : 49
(4 / 49) × 196ft² = 16ft²
