The best way to solve this problem is to graph all variables, velocity being the dependent variable (y-axis) and time being the independent variable (x-axis) . Since we are given two points for the two variables, we use the point-slope formula to get the slope which happens to be -1. We then use the standard form y = mx + b and substitute m with -1. Next we want to find b, we will again use the point slope formula now knowing m to be -1. we chose point 0 for time(x-axis) and at zero, we obtain a value of your b which happens to be +19. A line graph would better visualize my point. Cheers!
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
8 is the gcf of 64 and 72
They need to have common denomenators so change the fractions to 12/15 - 5/15 which is 7/15.
There are 1760 yards in one mile and the rink is 250 yard in perimeter.
This means 3 miles is 5280 yards.
If Sam has already gone around the whole rink 6 times, that means he was traveled a total of 1500 yards.
Sam has 3780 more yards to travel 3 miles.
This means he needs to do 15.12 more laps around the rink. Or 16 if you are rounding.
Hope this helps! :)
