Answer: Option 'd' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Distance traveled by Jesse's car = d

Number of gallons used = g

The relation between distance and number of gallons used is given by

$d=15g$

We need to find the constant of proportionality in terms of distance traveled per gallon of gas.

So, Constant of proportionality = $\dfrac{Distance\ traveled}{Gallon\ of\ gas}=\dfrac{d}{g}$

Since we have

$d=15g\\\\\dfrac{d}{g}=\dfrac{1}{15}=Constant\ of\ proportionality$

Hence, Option 'd' is correct.

The expression is:

$speed(minutes)=3\frac{km}{h} ^{minutes} \\\\speed(15minutes)=(3^{15})\frac{km}{4} =14348907\frac{km}{g}$

Why?

From the statement we know that the spaceship travels 3 times faster each minute that it traveled during the minute before, it can be expressed using an exponential function, its base will be the starting speed (during the first minute).

The expression will be:

$speed(minutes)=(3^{minutes})\frac{km}{h} \\\\speed(15minutes)=(3^{15})\frac{km}{h}=14348907\frac{km}{h}$

James knows that when h walks, he takes about 120 steps per minute and that each step is 2.75 feet long. Which calculation is mo

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

120*2.75*60/5280

= 3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

So James is walking at 120 steps a minute, there are 60 minutes in one hour, and 5,280 feet in a mile. So, to find how quickly James is walking, we multiply how many steps he is taking a minute by how much distance each step is (120 * 2.75) that gives us how much distance in one minute, so we then multiply by 60 because there are 60 minutes in one hour. Then divide the entire equation by how many feet are in one mile (5,280) giving us the answer 3.75 miles per hour. And the equation 120*2.75*60/5280

How do you use a number line to solve 235+123

Novosadov [1.4K]

Number line refers to a mathematical process of solving the equation with the use of lines.
=> 235 + 123
Starting from 0 you count 1 up to 235. Then starting from 235 you additionally count another 123.
Then from zero start counting the total number to the line you stopped when adding 123 to 235.

This simply equals to
=> 235 + 123
=> 358.
