Bryson is picking green beans. He has already picked 1 and one-fourth bushels and picks at a rate of StartFraction 7 Over 8 EndFraction of a bushel each hour. The equation StartFraction 7 Over 8 EndFraction h + 1 and one-fourth = 6 can be used to represent h, the number of hours it will take him to pick 6 bushels. What is the value of h? 4 and StartFraction 5 Over 32 EndFraction hours
5 and StartFraction 3 Over 7 EndFraction hours
5 and StartFraction 17 Over 28 EndFraction hours
8 and StartFraction 2 Over 7 EndFraction hours

At the olympic games, many events have several rounds of competition. one of these events is the men's 100-meter backstroke. the upper dot plot shows the times (in seconds) of the top 8 finishers in the final round of the 2012 olympics. the lower dot plot shows the times of the same 8 swimmers, but in the semifinal round. which pieces of information can be gathered from these dot plots? (remember that lower swim times are faster.) choose all answers that apply: a: the swimmers had faster times on average in the final round. b: the times in the final round vary noticeably more than the times in the semifinal round. c: none of the above.
