Hector is training for a race that is 10 kilometers long. On Saturday he ran 2.5 km. He plans to add 0.5 km to his distance ever

y Saturday.
Hector's Calculations:

2.5 + 0.5 = 3.0 6.5 + 0.5 = 7.0
3.0 + 0.5 = 3.5 7.0 + 0.5 = 7.5
3.5 + 0.5 = 4.0 7.5 + 0.5 = 8.0
4.0 + 0.5 = 4.5 8.0 + 0.5 = 8.5
4.5 + 0.5 = 5.0 8.5 + 0.5 = 9.0
5.0 + 0.5 = 6.0 9.0 + 0.5 = 9.5
6.0 + 0.5 = 6.5 9.5 + 0.5 = 10.0
The equation equivalent to Hector’s calculations is 2.5 + 0.5x = 10. Use either of these methods to determine how many weeks it will take Hector to reach his goal of a 10 kilometer run.

It will take Hector______ to reach 10 kilometers.

A membership to the gym costs $23 per person in 1995. The membership cost has increased by an average of $6 per person for each
notsponge [240]
A) The membership cost starts at $23 and it adds $6 every year. The 23 would be your b and the 6 would be your slope, m, in the form y=mx+b.
y=6x+23
This equation means that you're starting at 23 dollars and adding 6 dollars with every x you add.

B) 2009-1995=14 This means that there's 14 years that the cost increased. 14*6=$84 The membership cost increased by anther $84 over the 14 years. You have to add 84 to 23 to find your total=$107. 

C) Set $85 equal to 6x+23
85=6x+23
6x=62
x≈10
10 years later the cost will be $85. 
1995+10=2005

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-2,5) and (3/2, 2).
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>-  \frac{6}{7}</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line passing through two points can be found by using the formula

<h3>m =   \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}</h3>

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question

The points are (-2,5) and (3/2, 2)

The slope is

<h3>m =  \frac{2 - 5}{ \frac{3}{2}  + 2}    \\  =   -  \frac{3}{ \frac{7}{2} }  \\  = -  3 \div  \frac{7}{2}  \\  =  - 3 \times  \frac{2}{7}</h3>

We have the final answer as

<h3>-  \frac{6}{7}</h3>

Hope this helps you

Ari said there are three possible outcomes when you spin this spinner twice: two reds, a yellow and a red, or two yellows.
EastWind [94]

Answer:

From inspection of the diagram, we can see that the spinner is divided into <u>4 equal parts</u>, where 3 parts are red and 1 part is yellow.

\sf Probability\:of\:an\:event\:occurring = \dfrac{Number\:of\:ways\:it\:can\:occur}{Total\:number\:of\:possible\:outcomes}

Therefore,

\implies \textsf{Probability of getting a red} = \sf \dfrac{3}{4}

\implies \textsf{Probability of getting a yellow} = \sf \dfrac{1}{4}

<u>Multiplication Rule for Independent Events</u>

For independent events A and B:

  • \sf P(A\:and\:B)=P(A) \times P(B)

Therefore,

\begin{aligned}\implies \sf P(yellow\:and\:yellow) & = \sf P(yellow) \times P(yellow)\\\\ & = \sf \dfrac{1}{4} \times \dfrac{1}{4}\\\\ & = \sf \dfrac{1}{16}\end{aligned}

<h3><u>Conclusion</u></h3>

Ari is incorrect.  The spinner is divided into 4 parts, where only one part is yellow.  Therefore, the probability of spinning a yellow is 1/4.  As the events are independent, the Multiplication Rule should be used to calculate the probability of spinning 2 yellows.  So the probability of spinning 2 yellows is 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/16.

Write the repeating decimal as a fraction 0.75<br>the 75 is repeating ​
kogti [31]

Let x = 0.757575... . Then

100x = 75.757575...

and so

100x - x = 75.757575... - 0.757575...

99x = 75

x = 75/99 = 25/33
