Answer:
Part a) 
Part b) 
Step-by-step explanation:
Part a) Write an equation for T (d)
Let
d ----> the number of days
T ---> the time in minutes of the treadmill
we know that
The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

where
m is the slope or unit rate
b is the y-intercept or initial value
In this problem we have
The slope or unit rate is

The y-intercept or initial value is

substitute

Part b) Find T (6), the minutes he will spend on the treadmill on day 6
For d=6
substitute in the equation and solve for T


72 is the length d of how deep end in feet}
Answer:
1/4, or 4 times smaller
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the surface area of a cube is just the combination of the area of all of the square sides, and the formula for those is s^2, if the side length was decreased by 1/2 then the surface area would decrease by (1/2)^2=1/4. Hope this helps!
