Larry runs 2.5 miles and sees a total of 12 dogs. If Larry runs for a total of 8 miles, approximately how many dogs will Larry see?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

38.4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 8/2.5=3.2 What does this mean? Well, it means that (if the miles are porportional to the dogs) that means he will see 3.2 as many dogs. So, we have 12*3.2=38.4, or 38 if the homework is asking for a rounded number. Hope I helped!

Answer 2
Answer:

Larry sees 12 dogs per 2.5 miles.

Your trying to find out how many dogs Larry sees in 8 miles.

(2.5)/(12) = (8)/(x)

So you want to find x.

To go from 2.5 to 8, you have to multiply by 3.2

So do the same thing to the denominator; 12 × 3.2=38.4

Since there are 38.4 dogs, you have to round down because 0.4 dogs is no dog.

Larry sees 38 dogs in 8 miles.

Line A has a slope of 6/10 and a line B has a slope of 3/5 are both lines parallel?

Answers

Answer:

Nope!

Step-by-step explanation:

If you look at both of the slopes, you can tell that 6/10 is actually equivalent to 3/5. 3/5 is the simplified version of 6/10. So realistically, they'd line up perfectly and not be parallel!

What is the value of the slope of the graph of distance versus time, and what does the slope represent?

Answers

To find the slope of the graph you pick any piece of the line, and divide the vertical difference between its ends by the horizontal difference between its ends. If the graph is distance versus time then the slope represents the speed.
