1 answer:
Answer:
~ 92.31 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Length of essay = 1000
Essay already written = of the total essay
OR
Essay already written =
Essay remaining = Length of essay - Essay already written
Essay remaining = 1000 - 400 = 600 words
i.e. of the total essay is remaining which is actually equal to 600 words.
6.5 words are written in = 1 minute
1 word is written in = minutes
600 words are written in =

Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, we need to find the linear function. We know that the constant rate of change is -0.5° Celsius per minute. Also, after 60 minutes the temperature was 10° Celsius. So, we have a one point and the slope of the linear function, let's use the point-slope formula
Where the y-intercept is at (0, 40).
Now, we have two points to graph the relation between minutes and Celsius degrees.
Therefore, the room's temperature as a function of time is
Its graph is attached.
We have to write an equation that uses this info so we can find the cost to ship that package. However, the package weight is given to us in grams and we need it in ounces. So first thing we are going to do is convert that 224 g to ounces. Use the fact that 1 g = .035274 ounces to convert. . Do the multiplication and cancel out the label of grams and we have 7.901376 ounces. Ok. We know that it costs .57 to mail the package for the first ounce. We have almost 8 ounces. So no matter what, we are paying .57. For each additional ounce we are paying .32. The number of .32's we have to spend depends upon how much the package goes over the first ounce. For the first ounce we pay .57, then for the remaining 6.901376 ounces we pay .32 per ounce. Our equation looks like this: C(x) = .32(6.901376) + .57 and we need to solve for the cost, C(x). Doing the multiplication we find that it would cost $2.78 to ship that package.
