Jessica runs 2 1/2 miles in 16 1/4 minutes. What is Jessica’s average time per mile in minutes? Enter the correct answer in the box. IF YOU GET IT CORRECTLY AND ANSWER IT FIRST ILL MARK YA If possible EXPLAIN IT.

6 1/2 minutes per miles

2/13 miles per minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance travelled = 2 1/2 miles

Time taken = 16 1/4 minutes

Average: minutes per mile

= 16 1/4 minutes / 2 1/2 miles

= 65/4 ÷ 5/2

= 65/4 × 2/5

= 13/2

= 6 1/2

Average time per mile in minutes

= 6 1/2 minutes per mile

Average (miles per minutes)

= 2 1/2 ÷ 16 1/4

= 5/2 ÷ 65/4

= 5/2 × 4/65

= 20 / 130

= 2/13 miles per minutes

a) 40 more; b) old factory:   10%, new factory:   16%; c) week 4

explanation:

a) at week 0, we see in the graph that the new factory produces 190 specialty items.  

using the function, substituting 0 in for w,

this is a difference of 230-190 = 40.

b) the function for the old factory is written in the form f(x) = a(1+r)ˣ, where a is the original amount, x is the amount of time and r is the growth rate.   the equation for the old factory is ; 230 is in place of a and is the original amount; w is the amount of time; which means 1+r = 1.1.   this means that r must be 0.1 or 10%.

for the new factory, we find the percent of increase to find the growth rate; the formula for this is

between the first two points, the amount of change is 220-190 = 30; this gives us

30/190 = 0.158 ≈ 0.16 = 16%

c) at week 0, the old factory has 230 while the new factory has 190.

at week 1, the old factory has 230(1.1) = 253 while the new factory has 220.

at week 2, the old factory has 230(1.1²) = 278.3 while the new factory has 252.

at week 3, the old factory has 230(1.1³) = 306.13 while the new factory has 290.

at week 4, the old factory has 230(1.1⁴) = 336.743 while the new factory has 337.   this is the first week that the new factory surpasses the old.
