Jessica solved for the correct value of a, but Sally's review was incorrect.
Equation is y=kx. We have four chance to figure out k; hopefully they all give the same result
x=9, y=63, y=kx becomes 63=k(9) so k=63/9=7
x=4, y=28, 28=k(4), k=7
The constant of proportionality is 7; we check 2×7=14, 11×7=77
Answer: k=7, y=7x
Multiply the number in the tens place of the bottom
number by the number in ones place of the top number. So
multiply the 1 by the 5, which makes 5. Multiply the number in
the tens place of the bottom number by the number in tens
place of the top number. Multiply 1 by 2, which equals 2.
Answer:
1.6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
If you use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for x, you get:
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the answer is 1.6
S(t) = 3.82 - 0.2t
Step-by-step explanation:
After 7 weeks, the ice is 2.42 meters thick. The ice loses 0.2 meters of thickness per week; this means on the 7th week, it has lost 7(0.2) = 1.4 meters of thickness.
This means the ice started at 2.42+1.4 = 3.82 meters thick.
Our function will start at the original thickness of the ice, 3.82 meters.
Since the ice is losing thickness, we will subtract; it loses at a rate of 0.2 meters per week (t), which gives us 0.2t. This is subtracted from the original, 3.82 meters, giving us
S(t) = 3.82 - 0.2t
