Robert is running in a race that is 3 miles long. a distance marker is placed evenly every 1/2 mile from the beginning of the race until the end. what is the total number of distance markers on the trail?

the total number of distance markers on the trail is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The total distance that Robert covers in the race is 3 miles.

If a distance marker is placed evenly every 1/2 mile from the beginning of the race until the end, then the total number of distance markers on the trail would be

3/0.5 = 6

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17

constant of proportionality = 3 and the equation is c = 3p.

step-by-step explanation:

c = kp   where c = amount of caffeine in mg., p = oz of pepsi and k is the constant of proportionality.

substituting the values given:

24 = 8k

k = 3.

the same value of k will be obtained if we substitute the other given values.
