Sam Snail is at the bottom of a pipe 30 feet deep. He can crawl three feet up each day, but each night he slides back two feet.

How long will it take Sam to get to the surface?

Answer:

It will take 30 days to reach the top of the 30-foot deep pipe.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's track Sam Snail's movement each day:

Day 1 -

0 + 3 - 2 = 1

Day 2 -

1 + 3 - 2 = 2

Day 3 -

2 + 3 - 2 = 3

Day 4 -

3 + 3 - 2 = 4

Day ...

We can see that the day always matches up with the height on the pipe. This means for the snail to have traveled 30 feet, he needs to have spent 30 days with a constant rate of movement.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

-The probability of choosing a meat dish is equal to the probability of choosing a pasta dish or a soup(P(meat)\neq P(pasta)+P(soup))

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the number of events is 25 and 13 are meat dishes, 8 are pasta dishes, and 4 are soups.

-Probability is defined as the number of successful event divide by the total number of events.

#find probability of each event:

P(meat)=\frac{13}{25}=0.52\\\\P(pasta)=\frac{8}{25}=0.32\\\\P(soup)=\frac{4}{25}=0.16

P(meat)\neq P(pasta)\neq P(soup)

Hence, the FALSE choice is:The probability of choosing a meat dish is equal to the probability of choosing a pasta dish or a soup.

X^2 - 7x + 12 = 0
x^2 - 4x - 3x + 12 = 0
x (x - 4) -3 ( x - 4) = 0
(x - 4) (x - 3) = 0
x = 3 , 4

Check the answer by plugging in 3 and 4 for x, if the equation equals zero then you have your answer.

. He rowed 3 1/2 miles in 1/2 hour.What is the average speed in miles per hour.
Rudiy27

Answer:

7 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

3 1/2 miles = 7/2 miles

1/2 hours= 30 minutes

So,

In 30 mins, travelled 7/2 miles

In 1 min, travelled 7/2 ÷ 30= 7/2× 1/30 = (7×1)/(2×30) = 7/60 miles

In 60 mins, travelled (7×60)/60 miles = 420/60 miles = 7 miles.

Hence, the speed is 7 miles per hour.

Hope this helps :)

Find the coordinates of the point where the line <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3D5x%2B7%5C%5C" id="TexFormula1" title="y=5
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

(0, 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point that crosses the y-axis is called the y-intercept of the line.

We are given an equation of the line and we need to determine the y-intercept. This can be done by determining the constant in the equation.

What are constants?

Constants are such terms that include only numbers. There should be no variables in constants.

<u>We know that:</u>

     \bullet \ \text{Given equation of line: y = 5x + 7}

The constant we can see in the equation is "7". Therefore, the y-intercept is 7.

Note: The y-intercept of the line must have an x-coordinate of 0.

<u>Therefore,</u>

⇒ Coordinates of y-intercept: (x, y) ==> (0, 7).

Determine the intercepts of the line. y = 5 x − 1 3 y=5x−13
sweet-ann [11.9K]
Y-intercept = -13
x-intercept = 2.6 or 2 3/5
-13 is the y-intercept. In the equation, y=mx+b, b is the y-intercept. Looking at the equation, y=5x-13, we can see that -13 is in the place of b, therefore -13 is the y-intercept.
() is the x-intercept. To find the x-intercept, you need to replace values into the equation. Since the coordinates for the x-intercept consist of y being 0, you must replace y in the equation. with 0.
0=5x-13
Get rid of the -13 by adding it onto both sides. -13 is negative and the opposite of a negative is positive, thus making you add to get rid of -13.
0=5x-13
+13 +13
13=5x
Now you divide 5 from both sides to get rid of 5. The opposite of multiplication is division, so you must divide the 5 from 5x to isolate the x.
13/5=5x/5
2.6 or 2 3/5=x
Therefore the coordinates (2.6,0) represent the x-intercept, or just 2.6.

I hope this helped.
