Answer:

I agree with Elena

Step-by-step explanation:

Ants have 6 legs. Elena and Andre write equations showing the proportional relationship between the number of ants, a, to the number of ant legs, v.

Elena writes a = 6 times v

Andre writes v =1/6 times a.

Mathematically

The number of ants a is directly proportional to the number of legs

=a ∝ v

Because if

1 ant = 6 legs

2 ants = x legs

x = 6 legs × 2

x = 12 legs

The number of ants is directly proportional to the number of legs

Therefore, Elena is correct and Andre is wrong.

A brick layer is able to set 2.5 breaks in one minute how many bricks can you set an eight hours
frozen [14]

Answer:

<h2> In 8 hours he will set 1200 bricks</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we are expected to estimate the number of bricks he can set in 8 hours.

let us convert hours to minutes we have

60 min make 1 hour

x min make 8 hours

cross multiply

x= 60*8

x= 480 min

We are assuming the same rate with which he sets 2.5 brick is the same as the rate with which he will set bricks for the 8 hours windows

so if the bricklayer sets

2.5 bricks in 1min

y bricks in 480 min

Cross multiply we have

y=2.5*480

y= 1200  bricks

hence in 8 hours, he will set 1200 bricks

You work at the front desk of a luxury hotel. Guests staying at the hotel have two options for accessing the hotel's wireless in
nadya68 [22]
For 3 days....

option 1 : 25(3) + 0.10m = 75 + 0.10m
option 2 : 60(3) = 180

180 < 75 + 0.10m
180 - 75 < 0.10m
105 < 0.10m
105 / 0.10 < m
1050 < m.....this is minutes, we need hrs
1050/60  < m
17.5 < m.......the guest would have to spend more then 17.5 hrs

Graph the function f(x)=3/2x−4. Use the line tool and select two points to graph.
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Two points on the graph would be (2,-1) and (4,2).

Step-by-step explanation:

You can choose two random x variables such as how i selected 2 and 4. if you change the variable x to those values you can solve for y or in this case f(x).

EX:

3/2*2-4

6/2-4

3-4

f(x)= -1
