Answer:

-\dfrac{1}{60}

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{Rate }=-\dfrac{1}{5} in/foot

It is negative because slopes down.

Slope is dimensionless quantity.

So, change the rate in/foot dimensionless.

As we know, 1 foot = 12 in

\text{Slope }=-\dfrac{1\text{ in}}{5\text{ foot}}\times \dfrac{1\text{ foot}}{12\text{ in}}

cancel in and foot from top and bottom

\text{Slope }=-\dfrac{1}{5}\times \dfrac{1}{12}

\text{Slope }=-\dfrac{1}{5\times 12}

\text{Slope }=-\dfrac{1}{60}

Hence, the slope is -\dfrac{1}{60}

Giselle has $16.25 in her wallet and needs to get to her uncle’s house 8 miles away. A taxi costs $2.50 for the first mile and $
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

1.75(x-1)+2.50\leq 16.25

Step-by-step explanation:

A taxi costs $2.50 for the first mile and $1.75 for each additional mile.

Let x be the miles traveled

Taxi cost 2.50 for first mile , so we find the cost of x-1 miles

total cost for x miles traveled is

1.75(x-1)+2.50

Giselle has $16.25 in her wallet

total cost is less than 16.25

1.75(x-1)+2.50\leq 16.25

Orchids are a family of thousands of types of flowers that all share the same shape. Many gardening clubs are devoted to collect
irakobra [83]

Answer:

The correct options are;

1) Which type needs the highest temperature to grow

2) Do all of the types make food the same way

3) How long does it take for a specific type to make seeds

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of types of species in the orchid family = Several thousand

The tasks the gardening clubs are devoted to = Collecting, Studying, and growing of the orchids

The manner of the growth of the orchids = Difficulty observed in growing outside the orchid's natural habitat

Scientific questions are objective questions that are measurable, well defined about parameters that can be controlled which can be answered by means of an experiment and meant to provide a deeper understanding of the nature of the world around us

Therefore, the scientific questions that can be asked about a collection of different orchid types are;

1) Which type needs the highest temperature to grow

The above is a question that has a defined parameter (temperature) which is measurable and the answer can be provided by experimenting

2) Do all of the types make food the same way

An experiment with different orchid types will provide an answer to the above question

3) How long does it take for a specific type to make seeds

The length of time for it takes the seed to grow is measurable within an experiment.
