Direction: Read the situation and answer the guide questions below to help Juanita and Mario determine who walks faster.
Just yesterday Juanita and Mario were given assignments to record the measured distance and time spent in walking from their home to the school.Mario’s home is 400 meters while Juanita is 200 meters away from the school. It took 400 seconds for Juanita while Mario needed 200 seconds to reach the school.Guide Questions1. At constant distance,how is speed related to the time of travel?2. At constant time to travel,how is speed related to the distance travelled?3. Who was travelling faster than the other, Juanita or Mario? Why?
You are creating a welcoming habitat for your pet salamander. The salamander lives in a rectangular cage whose dimensions are 14 inches high, 18 inches long, and w inches wide. There is a stick along the diagonal of the room (from one top corner to the opposite bottom corner). The stick makes an angle of 24◦ with the floor. Below is an un-labeled sketch of the room. The red line represents the stick.
(a) Find the length of the stick. Explain and show your process.(b) Find the width, w, of the room. Explain and show your process.
Gold is alloyed with different metals to make it hard enough to be used in jewelry. The amount of gold present in a gold alloy is measured in 24ths called karats. 24-karat gold is 100% gold. Similarly, 18-karat gold is 75% gold.
How many ounces of 14-karat gold should be added to an amount of 8-karat gold to make 6 ounces of 12-karat gold? Graph equation(s) on coordinate axes with labels and scales. *
