Question

I need help with answering 5 pre-algebra questions and I need them looked over. I will fan and medal. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!

Answer 1

Sure lets see what you got ☻

Answer 2

It's about Slope as a Rate. Are you familiar with that topic?

Answer 3

Sort of I'll help best I can

Answer 4

Okay. Great! Let me get the questions. Be right back.

Answer 5

Okay. Here is the first question:

Answer 6

From looking at the graph what do you know?

Answer 7

@Miss.Rose

Answer 8

I am here. I was just looking at the graph.
I see that the numbers or in this case the water is decreasing. I am not sure I how am supposed to solve for the answer. That is what I really need help with.

Answer 9

Okay looking at the graph is simple
From what we can see the volume of point 1,9 is 9 what is the volume for 3,8?

Answer 10

Point (1,9) and (3,8)

Answer 11

8?

Answer 12

yes if you noticed I picked a point that went down by 1 but it is a two hour difference so what do you think the answer to the question is

Answer 13

I am not really sure. I need a little more help.

Answer 14

Okay if we look at the points i mentioned again

Answer 15

@mathmale

Answer 16

(1,9) is at hour 1 but (3,8) is hour 3 okay now look at hour 2 what would the point be placed?

Answer 17

It's at (2,8.5) which means in the matter of an hour we lost how much?

Answer 18

2.5?

Answer 19

Close think how much did we lose from nine to 8.5?

Answer 20

.5

Answer 21

There is a method to my madness lol

Answer 22

and yes the answer is .5

Answer 23

another way to figure this out is how much of a rise over run did you move?

Answer 24

Thank you.
Are you ready for the next question?

Answer 25

yep

Answer 26

Okay. Here is the next question:

Answer 27

okay what is the rise over run for this problem? do you know

Answer 28

This problem is quite simiilar to the previous one, in that you are given a graph, and it's readily apparent that the volume of the water in the back pack is decreasing with time.
Use what you learned in the previous problem, from Decarr432, to calculate the slope, or "rise over run." Note that the slope will be and must be negative because the function is clearly decreasing.

Answer 29

Math you always know how to put it in good words i'm not that wordy haha

Answer 30

Okay, so it is either A or D.
Is it A?

Answer 31

The answer is not A

Answer 32

Don't you want to learn how to solve this tho?

Answer 33

Yes, I do.

Answer 34

Okay to get from the point (1,2) to (1,1.5) you must go down how much?

Answer 35

.5

Answer 36

yes but its -.5 that will be our rise in -.5/? now how many to the right must you travel use whole numbers this time

Answer 37

3?

Answer 38

Close if we go from 1 to 3 how many jumps you have to make?

Answer 39

2

Answer 40

Correct so our rise over run is -.5/2 which means we lose how much an hour?

Answer 41

0.25?

Answer 42

no is we agreed that we are loosing by -.5/4 which would come out to be .25 every half hour which would make use lose how much an hour?

Answer 43

.50

Answer 44

so you answer is?

Answer 45

D?

Answer 46

wait. your confusing me. is it D or B?

Answer 47

Well ignore those last ones

Answer 48

we lost half a L in 2 hours which means we lose .25 every half hour making out the answer to be B because .5 times 4 is 2

Answer 49

sorry my mind went stupid for a second

Answer 50

sorry for the confusion lol

Answer 51

Next?

Answer 52

Okay. So this one is broken up into 2 parts.

Answer 53

What does a proportional relationship mean to you?

Answer 54

I didn't know what it meant so I looked it up:
A proportional relationship between two quantities is one in which the two quantities vary directly with one and other. If one item is doubled, the other, related item is also doubled

Answer 55

Yeah thats right lol now what do you think that means?

Answer 56

I don't know...

Answer 57

lets say we buy 5 apples for 2.00$ in total
then we buy 10 apples what happens to how much we paid for it?
Remember if we double how much we buy we have to double how much we pay <---- Hint hint

Answer 58

Okay.

Answer 59

I still don't get how that is supposed to help with this question.

Answer 60

Think you understand it what is done to one side has to be done to the other

Answer 61

Yes. But what does that have to do with the question?

Answer 62

If we move one way we have to move the same for the other side

Answer 63

so if you take point 1,1 and keep it proportional, lets add one to the x what must we do to the y?

Answer 64

well double*

Answer 65

We have to add 1

Answer 66

so if we keep doubling one side we follow on the other and so on and so forth

Answer 67

Okay. So that answer is D?

Answer 68

I do think so

Answer 69

5th and final question:

Answer 70

Okay so right off the bad what do you notice?
I notice 2 answer are almost the exact same hmm

Answer 71

bat* not bad

Answer 72

So... that is the answer?

Answer 73

no there kind of trick answers the most correct I see is a because of the doubling you must do but I'm not sure for this one

Answer 74

Its A or D

Answer 75

I am going to go with D.
I am going to have my teacher grade this and tell what the correct answer is.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!!!!

Answer 76

No problem if there are any incorrect we can give this another shot :)

Answer 77

The answer was....
D.
But I got the 4th one wrong. But that is okay. I still got a pretty good grade.
I might need your help in a little bit, will you be logged on?
