A straight line parallel to another is one that has the same slope. The generic equation of a line can be written as y-yo = m (x-xo). If we look for a parallel line that passes through the point (8.0). We should look for a line with the values m = -0.75, xo = 8, yo = 0. Substituting in the generic equation, we have that the line sought is y = -0.75 (x-8)
Answer:
The heights are the same after 4 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
The red candle burns at a rate of 7/10 inches per hour. In t hours, (7/10)t inches have burned. The height of the candle after t hours is 8 - (7/10)t.
The blue candle burns at a rate of 1/5 inch per hour. In t hours, (1/5)t inches have burned. The height of the candle after t hours is 6 - (1/5)t.
You need to find the time, t, when their heights are equal.
8 - (7/10)t = 6 - (1/5)t
Multiply both sides by 10 (the LCD).
80 - 7t = 60 - 2t
-5t = -20
t = 4
The heights are the same after 4 hours.
59 is a number
59 can be written as 59/1
First of 30% of 2500kcal is 750kcal
if a male consumes 2.5 kcal then 750kcal / 2.5kcal = 300
but then we would need to know how many wheat are on one hectare of land.
