The number of hours walked varies inversely with the speed of the walker. if it takes sam 12 hours to complete his walking goal

at 5 miles per hour, how long would it take him at 3 miles per hour?

We let k be the proportionality constant for the relationship between number of hours, h and speed of the walker, s. 

                        h = k/s
Substituting the known values,
                        12 = k/5
                          k = 60

For the second scenario,
                          h = k/s
Substituting the calculated value for k and the given value for speed,
                          h = (60)(3 miles/hour)
                         h = 20 hours
                         h = 20 hours

Therefore, it will take 20 hours to walk with a speed of 3 miles per hour.

Emily is a songwriter who collects royalties on her songs whenever they are played in a commercial or a movie. Emily will earn $
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

(6,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable Definitions:

​x= the number of commercials

y= the number of movies

Each commercial earns Emily $50, so x commercials would earn her 50x dollars in royalties. Each movie earns Emily $150, so y movies would earn her 150y dollars in royalties. Therefore, the total royalties 50x+150y equals $600:

50x+150y=600

Since Emily's songs were played on 3 times as many commercials as movies, if we multiply 3 by the number of movies, we will get the number of commercials, meaning x equals 3y.

x=3y

Write System of Equations:

​50x+150y=600

x=3y

Solve for y in each equation:

1)  50x+150y=600

   150y=−50x+600

   y=-1/3x+4

2)  x=3y

    y=1/3x

The x variable represents the number of commercials and the yy variable represents the number of movies. Since the lines intersect at the point (6,2) we can say:

Emily's songs were played on 6 commercials and 2 movies.

A parallelogram has a length of 6 centimeters and a width of 4.5 centimeters. This parallelogram is dilated by a scale factor of
Arada [10]
Scale factor is given by:
(length of larger figure)/(length of smaller figure)=(width of larger figure)/(width of the smaller figure)=3.4
The length of the larger figure will be given by:
length=(scale factor)*(length of smaller figure)
=3.4*6=20.4 cm
width of the larger figure will be given by:
width=(scale factor)*(width of smaller figure)
=3.4*4.5
=15.3 cm
Therefore the dimension of the new parallelogram will be 20.4 cm by 15.3 cm

According to a 2014 research study of national student engagement in the U.S., the average college student spends 17 hours per w
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would set up the hypothesis test. This is a test of a single population mean since we are dealing with mean

For the null hypothesis,

µ = 17

For the alternative hypothesis,

µ < 17

This is a left tailed test.

Since the population standard deviation is not given, the distribution is a student's t.

Since n = 80,

Degrees of freedom, df = n - 1 = 80 - 1 = 79

t = (x - µ)/(s/√n)

Where

x = sample mean = 15.6

µ = population mean = 17

s = samples standard deviation = 4.5

t = (15.6 - 17)/(4.5/√80) = - 2.78

We would determine the p value using the t test calculator. It becomes

p = 0.0034

Since alpha, 0.05 > than the p value, 0.0043, then we would reject the null hypothesis.

The data supports the professor’s claim. The average number of hours per week spent studying for students at her college is less than 17 hours per week.
