Using linear functions, it is found that Rowan and Kennedy will have read the same number of pages in 10 minutes.

What is a linear function?

  • A linear function is modeled by:

y = ax + b

In which:

  • a is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.

For Rowan, we have that:

  • He has already read 20 pages, hence the y-intercept is b = 20.
  • He reads 1.5 pages per minute, hence the slope is a = 1.5

Then:

y_R = 1.5x + 20

For Kennedy, we have that:

  • He has already read 25 pages, hence the y-intercept is b = 25.
  • He reads 1 page per minute, hence the slope is a = 1

Then:

y_K = x + 25

They will have read the same number of pages after x minutes, for which:

y_R = y_K

Then:

1.5x + 20 = x + 25

0.5x = 5

x = \frac{5}{0.5}

x = 10

Sharon paid $78 sales tax on a new camera. If the sales tax is 6.5%, what was the cost of the camera?
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

$1200

Step-by-step explanation:

$1200

Step-by-step explanation:

78 = 6.5%

This means that if you divide 78 by 6.5, you get the equivalent of 1% of the price:

78 ÷ 6.5 = 12

So 1% = 12

Now simply multiply this by 100 to get the full answer:

12 x 100 = 1200

So the camera cost $1200!

The cost of a babysitting on a cruise is 10 for the first hour, and 12 for each additional hour. If the total cost of baby Aaron
Sliva [168]

<u>Answer:</u>

5 hours  was Aaron at the sitter

<u>Explanation: </u>

Cost of baby sitting for the first hour: 10

Cost of baby sitting for additional hour= 12

Total cost of babysitting= 58

Since the cost of first hour is 10

Hence  the remaining cost after first hour

= 54-10

=48

Which means 1 hour  is consumed in the first hour

Now to calculate the remaining hours for every additional hour

= \frac{48}{12}

=4 hours

Hence the total hour Aaron was with the sitter

= 1 hour + 4 hours

= 5 hours

Use your knowledge of similar triangles to explain why the construction in the image divides the line segment into equal parts.
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

This image show how to divide a given line segment into a number of equal parts by using a compass and  ruler. First, draw the line AB. Secondly, draw a line above and divide into 5 equal distances to make a line AC. Third, using a compass by getting the distance of point C and B to be equal in the distance of point A and D, also getting the distance of point C to A to be equal to point B and D, then to make the Line DB. Finally divide into 5 equal parts by compass.
