Butterfield lake builds up a sheet of ice in the winter that is 2 feet thick. When spring comes, the warm air melts the ice at a constant rate of 2 inches per week. If y represented the total thickness of the ice (in inches), and x represented the time in weeks, which function below would model this relationship? A. y = 2x + 2
B. y = -2x + 2
C. y = -2x + 24
D. y = 24x - 2

its 0.1 miles per minute

so, converting firstly the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then "adding".

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.
