Not really sure whats up with that inequality but she can't, if she has to spend 1.5 hours in a lab that leaves her with 5 hours. 5/4 is 1.25, so no, she can only spend 1.25 hours with each student.
7x-1+5x-23= 180
12x-24=180
12x=204
X=17
Remember that if lines are parallel, they will have the same slope. Also, the number added or subtracted in the equation is the y intercept, or the y value when the x=0. They gave you the point (0,-7) so really, they just gave you the y intercept. How nice!! That means you just use the same slope as the original and then add -7 to it to get your equation. With that knowledge, you can now easily identify the correct answer!!
each part of the box and whisker is 25% (meaning each quartile) There are 4 quartiles so this makes 100%
So, the first being 25% and this is where the below 15 falls.
So, 25%
