0.25 inches represents 1 mile
----------------------------------------------
Find 1 inch:
----------------------------------------------
1 inch represents 1 ÷ 0.25 miles
1 inch represents 4 miles
----------------------------------------------
Find 3.75 inches:
----------------------------------------------
1 inch represents 4 miles
3.75 inches represent 4 x 3.75 miles
3.75 inches represent 15 miles
----------------------------------------------
Find 2.25 inches:
----------------------------------------------
1 inch represents 4 miles
2.25 inches represent 4 x 2.25 miles
2.25 inches represent 9 miles
----------------------------------------------
Find Area:
----------------------------------------------
Area = Length x Width
Area = 15 x 9
Area = 135 miles²
----------------------------------------------
Answer: 135 miles²

Answer:
The constraints are
and 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> represent the number of male birds
y ----> represent the number of female birds
we know that
The flock needs to have exactly three times more females than males to thrive
so
----> equation A
The zoo only has room for a maximum of 20 male birds
so
----> inequality B
we know that
The maximum number of male birds is 20
For x=20
substitute in the equation A

so
The maximum number of female birds is 60
so
----> inequality C
therefore
The constraints are
and 
Answer:
The total number of bugs in the collection is 36
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> the number of bugs that you find out
y ----> the number of bugs that the classmate find out
we know that
-----> equation A
----> equation B
Solve the system by graphing
Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs
The solution is the point (20,16)
The total number of bugs in the collection is

Answer: 2 markers.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. You know that she gives 12 markers to Mr. Cooke, then the rest among is:
29 markers-12 markers=17 markers
2. She divides the rest among 5 other teachers and each one of them get the same number of markers. So, you need to divide 17 markers by 5 teachers as following:
17 markers/5=3.4 markers
3. But the number of marker each one teacher has can't be a decimal number, so this number must be: 3 markers for each teacher.
3. The number of markers that will be left over is:
17 markers-(5*3 markers)=2 markers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for <u>exponential growth</u> is y = ab^x.
To write this equation, we know it has to start with 48 (which is the variable a). We need to add the rate of growth. This is 11/6 (which is variable b). But we also need to account for the "every 3.5 years" part, so divide the x as an exponent by 3.5.
N(t) = 48 * 11/6^(t/3.5)
This equation is easy to test, and it's a good idea to test it after you write it. For example, after 3.5 years we know that it should have 48*11/6 branches. Does our equation work? Yes.
