Tamara was asked to write an example of a linear functional relationship. She wrote this example: My babysitting service charges

an initial $5.00 fee plus an additional $6.50 per hour. Complete the table below to show the babysitting rate for different numbers of total hours. Then write a linear equation in the form y=mx+b that represents this relationship where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Use the on-screen keyboard to type your answers in the boxes below. Total Hours 1 $
2 $
3 $
4 $

Answer:

Hours Charge

1 y = 6.5(1) + 5 = $11.5

2 y = 6.5(2) + 5 = $18

3 y = 6.5(3) + 5 = $24.5

4 y = 6.5(4) + 5 = $31

Step-by-step explanation:

In an equation y=mx+b, we can interpret the intercept b as the value of the initial charge and the slope m as the additional charge per hour. So, we can formulate the following equation:

y = 6.5x + 5

Where x is the hours and y are the charges for the babysitting, so, we can fill the table as:

Hours Charge

1 y = 6.5(1) + 5 = $11.5

2 y = 6.5(2) + 5 = $18

3 y = 6.5(3) + 5 = $24.5

4 y = 6.5(4) + 5 = $31

Please please help me!!!!!

N76 [4]

The 4 marked x is 10 times greater than the 4 marked y. That is because it is one place in front of the other 4, making it 10 times greater. If you need any help with understand this, please let me know and I will further assist you on this question! Hope I was able to help.

Kelly hiked in the woods it took her 1/14 hour to walk 1/4 mile after she snacked she walked another 1/6 mile in 1/16 hour

mariarad [96]

General Idea:

The relationship between rate(R), distance(D) and time(T) given below:

$R= \frac{D}{T}$

Applying the concept:

We need to make use of the formula to find Kelly's walking rate before and after her snack

$Kelly \; Walking \; Rate \; before \; Snack:\\Distance \div Time = \frac{1}{4} \div \frac{1}{14} = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{14}{1} = \frac{14}{4} = \frac{7}{2} = 3 \frac{1}{2} \; miles \; per \; hour\\\\Kelly \; Walking \; Rate \; after \; Snack:\\Distance \div Time = \frac{1}{6} \div \frac{1}{16} = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{16}{1} = \frac{16}{6} = \frac{8}{3} = 2 \frac{2}{3} \; miles \; per \; hour\\\\$

Option A isn't correct because before snack Kelly walking rate is not 4/14 miles per hour.

Option B is <u>Correct,</u> Kelly walking rate after snack is 2 2/3 miles per hour.

Option C isn't correct because it doesn't took Kelly 2 hours longer to walk 1/6 mile than it did for her to walk 1/4 mile. It took 1/112 hour longer.

$\frac{1}{14} - \frac{1}{16} = \frac{1 \cdot 8}{14 \cdot 8} - \frac{1 \cdot 7}{16 \cdot 7} = \frac{8}{112} - \frac{7}{112} = \frac{1}{112}$

Option D isn't correct because 2 2/3 miles per hour is slower than 3 1/2 miles per hour.

Conclusion:

Option B is <u>Correct,</u> Kelly walking rate after snack is 2 2/3 miles per hour.

A car travels 180 miles in 4 hours. Find the car’s speed in feet per minute. (There are 5,280 ft in 1 mile)

FinnZ [79.3K]

Given :

Distance travelled , d = 180 miles.

Time taken , t = 4 hours.

To Find :

Speed in feet per minutes.

Solution :

Distance in feet is , d = 180×5280 = 950400 feet.

Time taken , t = 4×60 = 240 minutes.

Speed is given by , $s=\dfrac{Distance}{Time \ Taken}$

$S=\dfrac{950400}{240}\ ft/min\\\\S=3960\ ft/min$

Hence, this is the required solution.
