A + s = 279
s = 2a
a + 2a = 279
3a = 279
a = 279/3
a = 93 <=== adult
s = 2a
s = 2(93)
s = 186 ....students
Answer:
The second option
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate of change needs to stay constant.
The rate of change can be explained by looking at the "rise" (y) over the "run"(x)
The rate of change for the second option is 2. We know this because...
Rise(2)
----------
Run(1)
Try looking at one of the points, now go up 2 and over 1, you should now be at the second point, do it again but twice, you should now be at the third point. A proportional relationship must also go through the origin (0,0)
each part of the box and whisker is 25% (meaning each quartile) There are 4 quartiles so this makes 100%
So, the first being 25% and this is where the below 15 falls.
So, 25%
Answer:
Tyler is correct. The temperature dropped at a rate of about 4° per hour between 4 and 6, while the temperature dropped at about 2.25° per hour between 6 and 10.
Edit: Explanation
The question is asking about which window of time had a <em>faster</em> decline in temperature, not a larger total change in temperature.
In a 2 hour timeframe, the temperature dropped 8°. (4-6 PM)
In a separate 4 hour timeframe, the temperature dropped 9°. (6-10 PM)
To find which window had a faster change in temp, I took the total temperature drop for each timeframe, then divided it by the number of hours each drop took.
8° / 2 = 4° per hour for 4-6 PM
9° / 4 = 2.25° per hour from 6-10 PM
Since the speed at which the temperature dropped per hour was greater from 4-6 PM than 6-10 PM, Tyler was correct.
