After a baby was born, she began to gain weight at a rate of 1.5 pounds per month. The weight of the baby at birth was 12 pounds. Write an equation for W,W, in terms of t,t, representing weight, in pounds, of the newborn baby tt months after birth.

Answers

Answer 1

What we know:

The baby gains 1.5 pounds per month.

Its weight at birth is 12 pounds.

Therefore, when looking to find the weight after t time, we have to take the constant and the rate of change and place them into the equation. This means our equation will look something like this:

W(t) = Rate of Change x number of months + weight at birth.

Or

W(t) = 1.5(t) + 12

So if in 4 months we look at the weight, the baby will be:

1.5 (4) + 12 = W(t)

6 + 12 = W(t)

18 = W(t)

After 4 months the baby is 18 pounds.

Answer: W(t) = 1.5(t) + 12

I hope this helps! :)

Lucy has some number cards that each have a whole number on them.

Give your answer in its simplest form.



PLEASE HELP BRAINLIST TO FASTEST AND CORRECT ANSWER

Answers

Answer:

Well lucy has a 50/50 chance to get a odd card so that is it

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of even cards to odd cards that Lucy has is 3:4 in its simplest form.

Let's denote the number of even cards as "x" and the number of odd cards as "y".

The probability of choosing an even card is given as [tex]\frac{3}{7}.[/tex]

The probability of choosing an even card is calculated by dividing the number of even cards by the total number of cards:

Probability of choosing an even card = Number of even cards / Total number of cards

Therefore, we have:

[tex]\frac{3}{7} = \frac{x}{x+y}[/tex]

To find the ratio of even cards to odd cards, we can set up the equation:

[tex]\frac{x}{y} = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Therefore, the ratio of even cards to odd cards that Lucy has is 3:4 in its simplest form.

Step-by-step explanation:

okay so the problem states that this pentagon has one line of symmetry.

if you know that AE=4x, AB=2x+1, and Bc=x+2, then you know that CD=x+2, and DE=2x+1.

since you know the perimeter is 18 cm, you can make an equation to find x:

4x+2(2x+1)+2(x+2)=18

-->4x+4x+2+2x+4=18

-->10x+6=18

2. Write the congruence statement you are missing in order to prove the triangles are congruent for the given
reason.

Answers

A) In order to prove that these triangles are congruent by SAS, we need to have two sides of one triangle congruent to two sides of another triangle and an angle of one triangle (that’s included between the sides) is congruent to an angle of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

We know that side OU is congruent to itself based on the reflexive property and we have a pair of right angles. However, we don’t know that sides MU is congruent to sides NU which would be our final step to prove these triangles are congruent by SAS.

So we are missing that sides MU and NU are congruent.

For part b, we have a pair of vertical angles which means they are congruent and <F and <S are congruent. For ASA, we need two angles and the included side of one triangle congruent to two angles and the included side of a second triangle.

We are not told that PQ and SQ have the same length, so this would be the information we would need to say these triangles are congruent by ASA.

Answers

Answer:

3 hours 45 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

270/2 1/2 = 108. This means they are delivering 108 leaflets an hour. Then you divide 405 by 108 and get 3.75, which is 3 hours and 3 quarters of an hour. since a quarter of an hour is 15 minutes it would be 3 hours 45 minutes.
