Each dive goes further down, so it represents -50 ft (not positive which would represnt going up).
y= -125-50x
We know that there are 3 dives so plug that in for x
y= -125-50(3)
y= -125-150
y= -275
Final answer: -275 ft
Using the formula for the area of a triangle we can solve for the base.
The formula for area of a triangle is : Area = 1/2 x base x height
We are given the area and the height:
33.6 = 1/2 x 4 x base
Multiply both sides by 2 to remove the 1/2:
67.2 = 4 x base
Divide both sides by 4 to solve for the base:
67.2 /4 = 16.8
Check: Area = 1/2 x 4 x 16.8 = 33.6
The base is 16.8 inches.
The answer is 2 candies per person per month
(1) Find the amount of candy consumed <span>per person per year:
6 700 000 000 </span>÷ 305 000 000 = 21.97 candies per person per year
(2) Find the amount of candy consumed per person per month:
1 year has 12 months.
21.97 candy per person per year ÷ 12 = 1.83 ≈ 2 candies per person per month
