Answer:
k-4.7
Step-by-step explanation:
It is k minus 4.7 because when it says less than it means the number that is stated before the phrase is being subtracted :)
Use proportions.
30/100=x/260 cross multiply
260*30=7,800
7,800=100x
Then divide
Our "y-intercept" (where x = 0) acts as the foundation of our function here.
We can extrapolate from what we have here...if x is 0, y is going to be 2.
So, we start at 2 for y, and every time we decrease x by 2, y increases by 1.
If we decrease x by just 1, y increases by ½.
This also goes in the opposite direction. Increase x by 1, decrease y by ½.
We can write the change in y as -½x.
That change is being added to our original value of 4, of course.
The equation of this line is

.
Multiply tops, multiply bottoms, so (1x2)/(3x3)
= 2/9
First we'll consider the floor size.
In a 10 by 12 room the longest pipe that will fit lying on the floor equals the hypotenuse of a 10 by 12 triangle:
hypotenuse² = 10² + 12²
hypotenuse² = 100 + 144
hypotenuse² = 244
hypotenuse =
<span>
<span>
<span>
15.62 feet
Now we have to consider the third dimension (height = 8 feet).
The two sides would be 15.62 and 8
</span></span></span>hypotenuse² =
15.62² + 8²
hypotenuse² =
244 + 64 = 308
hypotenuse = 17.55
So, the longest pipe that would fit in that room would be 17.55 feet long.
