First we have to figure out how many hours have passed. Since 1PM also means 1300 hours, we'll subtract 9 from 13. 13-9=4. therefore, 4 hours have passed. if it gains 4 minutes every hour, we'll multiply the amount of hours that have passed by the amount the clock gains every hour. 4x4=16. now we subtract 16 from 1300 because the clock is ahead of the real time, but remember and hour only has 60 minutes! 1300-16=1244. Therefore, the correct time is 12:44PM.

Which statement correctly describes the slope of the linear function that is represented by the data in the table? x y 8 –8 8 –4
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

slope=change in y/change in x

one way is t pick 2 points, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

the slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

pick some points

(8,4) and (8,0)

slope=(0-4)/(8-8)=-4/0=undefined

the slope is undefined

there is no slope.

A science test, which is worth 100 points, consists of 24 questions. Each question is worth either 3 points or 5 points. If x is
anzhelika [568]
You need to solve for one variable in equation 1 and substitute it in equation 2 to solve.

Equation 1: x+y=24
x= number of 3 pt questions
y= number of 5 pt questions
24= Total number of questions

Equation 2: 3x+5y=100
100= Total point value possible on test
3x= point value of 3 pt questions
5y= point value of 5 pt questions

x+y=24
Subtract y from both sides
x=24-y

Substitute in equation 2:
3x+5y=100
3(24-y) +5y=100
72-3y+5y=100
72+2y=100
Subtract 72 from both sides
2y=28
Divide both sides by 2
y=14

Substitute y=14 back in to solve for x:
3x+5y=100
3x+5(14)=100
3x+70=100
Subtract 70 from both sides
3x=30
Divide both sides by 3
x=10

So there are 10 three point questions
There are 14 five point questions.

Hope this helped! :)

Helen [10]

Based on the given above, we can use the following:

Taxable income in 2005 = $500,000

Corporate income tax rate = 5%

To solve for the state income tax of RedBall Production, we can simply get the product:

$500,000 * 5% = $25,000

A triathlon includes a .5 km swim, 40 km bike, and a 10 km run. Mr. B completed the swim in 25 minutes and 10 seconds, and the b
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

3.33 meters per second

Step-by-step explanation:

you must find the total time that Mr. B spent to complete the swim and bike.

Information:

0h 25' 10'' ---------> Swim

1h 30' 50'' ---------> Bike

hours = 0 + 1 = 1\\minutes = 25+30 = 55\\seconds = 10+50=60\\

he spent 1h 55' 60'', this is 1h 56'.

now you must substract this time from the record time to find the time alloted to run:

first you convert both times into minutes:

record \ time = 2(60) + 46 = 166 \ minutes \ \ \ \ multiply \ hours \ by \ 60 \ minutes\\time\ swim \ and \ bike = 1(60) + 56 = 116 \ minutes\\

now substracting:

time \ to \ run \ = record \ time \ - \ time \ swim \ and \ bike\\time \ to \ run \ = 166 - 116 = 50 \ minutes

so he must travel 10 km in 50 minutes, that is:

speed = distance/time

speed = \frac{10}{50} \frac{km}{min}

1 km is equal to 1000 meters and 1 minute is equal to 60 seconds.

speed = \frac{(10)}{(50)}\frac{(1000) meters}{(60) sec}\\\\speed = \frac{(10000)}{(3000)}\frac{meters}{sec} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ multiply \\\\speed = 3.33 \ meters/sec

so Mr.B's speed must be 3.33 meters/sec
