Kenya is running for student Council president. She can paint 2 posters in
15 minutes. If she continues at this rate,
which of the following methods could be used
to determine the number of posters Kenya
will paint in 1 3/4 hours?
Multiply the number of posters by 7.5
Solve the proportion 2/15 = x/1.75
Multiply the number of posters by 7
Solve the equation 105(15/2) = x

step-by-step explanation:

b and c

55.44 inches

step-by-step explanation:

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in.
