I believe, if I'm not correct but I think the answer would be 8 minutes or less.. Considering the fact that the Harris Family left 12 minutes ahead and the Arlen family is Averaging 55 MPH.. Too the speed that the Arlen's are going make the time for them to catch up to the harris's shorter. The Arlen's are going 15 mph faster sooo.. Yeah.. Tell em if this helps! :D

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

40(t+12/60) = 55t  

40t +8 = 55t  

8 = 15t  

t = .533333 hr  

=0.533333 X 60 = 32 min

For every 3 wrapped packages Mary uses 1/2 roll of wrapping paper how many packages can she wrap with 2 1/2 rolls of wrapping pa
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

15 packages

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion, where x is the number of packages she can wrap with 2.5 rolls of wrapping paper:

\frac{3}{0.5} = \frac{x}{2.5}

Cross multiply and solve for x:

0.5x = 7.5

x = 15

So, with 2.5 rolls of wrapping paper, she can wrap 15 packages

I need help with these questions for Quadratic functions
STALIN [3.7K]

9514 1404 393

Explanation:

1. The general form of a quadratic in standard form* is ...

  f(x)=ax^2+bx+c

An example is ...

  f(x)=2x^2+3x-5

The constant c is the y-intercept, so is the easiest bit of information to obtain in this form.

__

2. The general form of a quadratic in vertex form can be written as ...

  f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k

An example is ...

  f(x)=2(x -3)^2 -5

The ordered pair (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola, so is easy to obtain in this form. Arguably, it may be easier to identify the line of symmetry, x=h, since that requires looking at only one constant, instead of two.

_____

* In the UK, "standard form" is vertex form.
