Draw a strip diagram like the one in Figure 2.60 to show that Adam has read 5/6 as many books as Joseph this year. Explain briefly. Based on your strip diagram in part (a), write a sentence in which you use a fraction to describe how the amount of books that Joseph has read compares with the amount of books that Adam has read.

Aschool typically sells 500 yearbooks each year for 50 dollars each. the economic calls does a project and discovers that they can sell 100 more yearbooks for every $5 decrease in price. the revenue for yearbook sales is equal to the number of yearbooks sold times the price of the yearbook. let x represent the number of $5 decrease in price. if the expression that represents the revenue is written in the form r(x)=(500+ax)(50-bx). to maximize profit, what price should the school charge for the yearbooks? what is the possible maximum revenue? if the school attains the maximum revenue, how many yearbooks will they sell?

Find the value of the variable and the length of each secant segment.

The length of a rectangle is x times the square root of 100. the width is one-half y more than three-halves x. given that the area of the rectangle is 125 cm2, which equation could represent the rectangle in terms of x and y? a) 5xy − 15x = 125 b) 5xy + 15x = 125 c) 15x2 − 5xy = 125 d) 15x2 + 5xy = 125
