Answer:

Her error was multiplying numerator by numerator ( that is Quantity of Bone-shaped treats)

Step-by-step explanation:

Sarah's calculation

Let

x = cost of 12 Bone-shaped treats

Quantity of Bone-shaped treats : price

5 : 3.5 = 12 : x

(5/3.5) = (12/x)

Cross product

3.5x=60 (Here is her error)

x=17.14

Correct calculation

Quantity of Bone-shaped treats : price

5 : 3.5 = 12 : x

5 / 3.5 = 12 / x

Cross product

5 * x = 3.5 * 12

5x = 42

x = 42 / 5

= 8.4

x = $8.4

Her error was multiplying numerator by numerator ( that is Quantity of Bone-shaped treats)

Instead of multiplying Quantity of Bone-shaped treats by cost

Answer:

Sarah multiplied the denominator by the denominator and the numerator by the numerator instead of finding the cross products. The equation should be 5x = 42, so the cost should be $8.40.

Identify a transformation of the function f(x) = x by observing the equation of the function g(x) = x − 16.
navik [9.2K]

The transformations are

  • (b) A vertical shift 16 units downward.
  • (d) A horizontal shift 16 units to the right

<h3>How to determine the transformation?</h3>

The functions are given as:

f(x) = x

g(x)= x - 16

When a function is shifted right, the transformation rule is:

(x, y) = (x - h, y)

This means that the transformation is (d) A horizontal shift 16 units to the right

Since the parent function is a base linear function.

The transformation can also be represented as:

(x, y) = (x, k - h)

This gives

g(x)= x - 16

This means that the transformation is (b) A vertical shift 16 units downward.

Hence, the transformations are (b) and (d)

She walks 2 minutes for every 5 she runs. If she walks for 12 minutes how many minutes does she spend running?
ehidna [41]
Answer:

I believe it is, 30 minutes of running.

Explanation:

If she spends 12 minutes walking, that means she’s done 6 ‘sets’ of two minutes.

Then, you just have to multiply 6 by 5 and then you get 30.
