Which variable is most important to the following problem? at 9: 00 a. m., a wind speed of 20 miles per hour was recorded. after that, the wind speed was recorded every hour. each measurement showed an increase in wind speed of 3 miles per hour. the strongest wind was recorded at 4: 00 p. m. after that, the wind speeds started to decrease. what was the top wind speed? a. the time of day the first measurement was made b. the miles-per-hour speed of the wind at its maximum point c. the number of hours it took for the wind speed to reach its minimum for the day

The answer is B. The miles per hour speed of the wind at its maximum point

explanation:

apex

option-C

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

At 9:00 a.m., a wind speed of 20 miles per hour was recorded

So, initial wind speed =20 miles per hour

Each measurement showed an increase in wind speed of 3 miles per hour

The strongest wind was recorded at 4:00 p.m

so,

top wind speed = initial wind speed + ( total number of hours between 9:00 am and  4:00 pm)*(change in wind speed)

top wind speed = 20 mph+(16-9)*3

miles per hour

Since, change in wind speed and initial wind speed are constant

but the number of hours it took for the wind speed to reach its minimum for the day can be changed

so, most important variables is

the number of hours it took for the wind speed to reach its minimum for the day can be changed

to find the total number of combinations, multiply the quantity of each item by each other:

2 pairs of shoes x 3 pairs of shorts = 6 different combinations.

the answer i believe is 27 units.
