Hello! So, we could set up a proportion to solve this, because the price and CPI increased at the same rate. Let's set it up like this: 34.6/82.4 = 0.75/x. This is because we know the prices from the 1960's, but we don't know the gallon of milk price in 1980, and we line them up like that to make sure we get the proper answer. Cross multiply the values in order to get 34.6x = 61.8. Now, divide each side by 34.6 to isolate the variable. x ≈ 1.7861 and other numbers behind it or 1.79 when rounded to the nearest hundredth. The price for a gallon of milk in 1980 was about $1.79.

A student solved this problem and said the answer was hour. cindy rode her bike for hour and ran for hour. what was the total le
saw5 [17]

The answer would be a. Yes, the student’s answer is reasonable.

In the problem, it states that Cindy rode her bike for an hour and ran for an hour.  Without the presence of the comma between rode her bike for an hour, and ran for an hour, this just means that Cindy only rode her bike and ran it for an hour.

The sentence can be written as Cindy rode her bike and ran for an hour.  So, this gives an answer that Cindy only exercise for an hour.

Check all of the functions that are odd.
Elan Coil [88]

For a function to be odd f(-x)=-f(x).

1) putting x as -x

f(-x)= -x^3+x^2 = -f(x)

Thus, this is an odd function.

2) Following the same procedure,

f(-x)= -x^5+3x^3-2x =-f(x)

Thus, this is an odd function.

3) Again,

f(-x)= -4x-9 = -f(x)

This also is an odd function.

Hope this helps :)
