A mouse traveled a total distance of 3/24 of a mile in a maze over the past three hours the mouse travel the same distance each

hour to determine the distance that the mouse traveled age our map reformed the calculations below he concluded that the mouse travel 3/8 of a mile each hour what is Matt’s error

Answer:

Total distance mouse traveled in 3 hours = \frac{3}{24} of a mile

The mouse traveled the same distance in each hour. So in order to find the distance covered in 1 hour we have to divide the distance covered in 3 hours by 3. This will give us the distance that the mouse traveled in one hour.

So, the distance traveled in one hour will be = \frac{3}{24} \div 3 = \frac{3}{24} \times \frac{1}{3} =\frac{1}{24} of a mile

The error which Matt made was that he divided only the denominator of the expression by 3, this probably was a calculation error.

Correct conclusion will be: Mouse travel 1/24 of a mile each hour

The equation r = 6t gives the number of albums released, r, by a record label over time in years, t. If you graph this relations
GalinKa [24]
R = 6t.....subbing in (8,48).....t = 8 and r = 48
48 = 6(8)
48 = 48 (correct)

r = 6t...subbing in (13,78)...t = 13 and r = 78
78 = 6(13)
78 = 78 (correct)

so u have 2 sets of points on this line and they are (8,48) and (13,78)

a car travels 30 1/2 miles in 2/3 of an hour. what is the average speed, in miles per hour, of the car ?
Contact [7]

Answer:

speed=225.75 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

s=301/2

t=2/3

we have,

v=s/t

v=(301/2)/(2/3)

=(301/2)×3/2

=903/4

v=225.75

therefore, speed of car will be 225.75 miles per hour

Jacinta buys 4 pounds of turkey and 2 pounds of ham. She pays a total of $30, and the turkey costs $1.50 less per pound than the
marissa [1.9K]

Given

jacinta buys 4 pounds of turkey and 2 pounds of ham & pays a total of $30, turkey costs $1.50 less per pound than the ham.

find out the combined cost of 1 pound of turkey and 1 pound of ham

To proof

As given in the question

jacinta buys 4 pounds of turkey and 2 pounds of ham

total pay by jacinta = $30

let us assume that the price of the ham = x

as given in the question

turkey costs $1.50 less per pound than the ham

turkey costs becomes = x - 1.50

then the equation becomes

30 = 4 (x - 1.50) + 2x

30 = 4x + 2x - 6

36 = 6x

x = 6

thus

ham cost per pound = $6

turkey cost per pound = 6 - 1.50

                                    = $ 4.5

Now find out

cost of 1 pound of turkey + 1 pound of ham = $ 6 + $ 4.5

                                                                       = $ 10.5

Hence proved

Which statement is true about a trend line? A regression line and a trend line are opposite terms. A regression line and trend l
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

A is incorrect!  <u>B. should be the correct answer</u>

Step-by-step explanation

After some research, i found that the correct answer is most likely <u><em>B.  a regression line and trend line are equivalent terms</em></u>

<em />

<em>A trendline and a regression can be the same. </em>

<em> A regression line is based upon the best fitting curve Y= a + bX Most often it’s a least-squares fit (where the squared distances from the points to the line (along the Y-axis) is minimized). </em>

<em> It can be quadratic or logistic or otherwise, but most often it is linear. </em>

<em> A trendline is often constructed by smoothing of the results, making it less peaked. (often by using a moving average); but can also come from ARIMA projections or curve fitting techniques (such as regression).</em>

<em />

Let me know if i helped you!

Which table can be created using the equation below? –2 + 4x = y A 2-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 is labeled x with entrie
Pachacha [2.7K]

The correct answer is C. A 2-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 is labeled x with entries negative 5, 0, 3. Column 2 is labeled y with entries negative 18, negative 2, 10.

Explanation:

The purpose of an equation is to show the equivalence between two mathematical expressions. This implies in the equation "–2 + 4x = y" the value of y should always be the same that -2 + 4x. Additionally, if a table is created with different values of x and y the equivalence should always be true. This occurs only in the third option.

   x                 y

   5                -18    

   0                -2

   3                 10

First row:

-2 + 4 (5) = y  (5 is the value of x which is first multyply by 4)

-2 + 20 = -18 (value of y in the table)

Second row:

-2 + 4 (0) y

-2 + 0 = -2

Third row:

-2 + 4 (3) = y

-2 + 12 = 10
