Distance traveled by Garrett = $\frac{2}{3}$ mile

Time taken to travel the distance = $\frac{1}{6}$ hour

We have to find how fast was he traveling in miles per hour, means we have to calculate the speed.

Speed is a measure of how quickly an object moves from one place to another. It is equal to the distance traveled divided by the time.

Speed = Distance traveled $\div$ Time taken

= $\frac{2}{3} \div \frac{1}{6}$

= $\frac{2}{3} \times {6}$

= 4 miles per hour

Therefore, Garrett traveled at the speed of 4 miles per hour.

You have to multiply by six to see how fast he is riding in mph. He is going 4 mph.

Answer:

It is the last graph: solid line, shaded area over the line x = 2 - x/2

Explanation:

1) Set the algebraigic expression that represents the combinations of sofa and pillow orders:

Number of sofas: x (given)
Number of pillows: 2y (given, since they come in pairs)
Number of items = number of sofas + number of pillows = x + 2y
Minimum of 4 items in each order (given) ⇒ x + 2y ≥ 4

2) Predict the graph of the inequality x + 2y ≥ 4

The border line is the equation x + 2y = 4
You can choose two points to draw a line
Choose the axis-intercepst:

x = 0 ⇒ 2y = 4 ⇒ y =4/2 ⇒ y = 2 ⇒ point (0,2)

y = 0 ⇒ x = 4 ⇒ point (4,0)

Then the lines goes through (0,2) and (4,0) ... [the four graphs meet this]

The shading area is above the line because when you solve for y you get y ≥ 2 - x/2, and the line is included because the "equal to" part of the symbol (≥ means greater than or equal to).

To state that the line is included the graph uses a continous line instead of a dotted one.

3) Conclusion:

That means that the correct graph is the last one: solid line, shaded area over the line y = 2 - x/2.

Note: a more detailed graph would include the fact that the items cannot be negative, i.e. x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0, which would result in that the shaded area would be on the first quadrant.

A dog chases a squirrel. The dog is originally 200 feet away from the squirrel. The dog's speed is 150 feet per minute. The squi

Answer:

15 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

If you make a table of values for the dog and the squirrel using d = rt, then the rates are easy: the dog's rate is 150 and the squirrel's is 100. The t is what we are looking for, so that's our unknown, and the distance is a bit tricky, but let's look at what we know: the dog is 200 feet behind the squirrel, so when the dog catches up to the squirrel, he has run some distance d plus the 200 feet to catch up. Since we don't know what d is, we will just call it d! Now it seems as though we have 2 unknowns which is a problem. However, if we solve both equations (the one for the dog and the one for the squirrel) for t, we can set them equal to each other. Here's the dog's equation:

d = rt

d+200 = 150t

And the squirrel's:

d = 100t

If we solve both for t and set them equal to each other we have:

$\frac{150}{d+200} =\frac{100}{d}$

Now we can cross multiply to solve for d:

150d = 100d + 20,000 and

50d = 20,000

d = 400

But we're not looking for the distance the squirrel traveled before the dog caught it, we are looking for how long it took. So sub that d value back into one of the equations we have solved for t and do the math:

$t=\frac{100}{d}=\frac{100}{400} =\frac{1}{4}$

That's 1/4 of a minute which is 15 seconds.
