Lydia is playing Galaxy 8RX. After three misses, the game is over. Last week, Lydia kept track of how long her games lasted. Hse msde a line plot of her data. Lydia said,"My best time is 2 3/4 minutes longer than my worst time because 4 1/4-1 1/2=2 3/4. Is subtraction the correct operation to compare Lydia's best and worst times?Explain. Are Lydia's calculations accurate?Show how you know. In the line plot, what do the numbers Lydia subtracted represent? Does Lydia's conclusion make sense? How did you decide? If not, what can you do to improve her reasoning?

step-by-step explanation:

hello!

to begin with, we're given that on earth, a rock weighs 20 pounds, and while on jupiter, that same rock weighs 42 pounds. now, we're trying to find the weight of a rock that weighs 10.5 pounds on earth, on jupiter.

to solve this, first, set up a proportion, cross-multiply, and solve it algebraically.

setting up the proportion is the hardest and the most confusing part of the problem, but it's simple.

if on earth, the rock weighs 20 lbs, and on jupiter it weighs 42 lbs, our first part of our proportion is 20/42 lbs. the second part has to be equal to each other. this means that 10.5 has to be on the numerator of the fraction, and x, the value we're trying to find, has to be on the denominator. remember that the rock weighs 10.5 lbs on earth, and we're trying to find the weight of it on jupiter (which is x).

20/42 = 10.5/x

next, you would cross-multiply.

20x = 42(10.5)

20x = 441

now, solve it algebraically by using division.

x = 22.05 lbs

this can be rounded to 22.1 lbs.

therefore, the weight of the rock on jupiter is 22.1 lbs, the fourth choice.

49/6 is going to equal 8 1/6
