A ship must have 1 lifeboat for every 12 passengers, plus one lifeboat for the crew and one backup lifeboat. Which equation shows the
relationship between the number of passengers, p, and the number of
lifeboats needed, I?

Select one

1) I= 2 + 1/2
2) I= 2p + 10
3) I= 12p
4)I=2+ p/12

Explanation:

p = number of passengers

L = number of lifeboats

Since we're grouping the passengers in groups of 12, this strongly implies we'll be dividing two values. Specifically we have p divided by 12 to represent the number of boats we will need just for the passengers.

For example, let's say p = 36. This means we have 36 passengers. That would mean we need p/12 = 36/12 = 3 boats for those 36 passengers. This excludes the crew and backup boat. Adding those two extra boats leads to the expression 2 + p/12 which is the total number of lifeboats needed.

In the event that p is not a multiple of 12, this leads to p/12 not being a whole number. We could have say p = 50 passengers which means p/12 = 50/12 = 4.167 approximately. We will not round this to 4 because then we'll have passengers without a lifeboat.

We must round 4.167 up to the nearest whole number to get 5. The first four boats take care of 4*12 = 48 passengers, while that 5th boat handles the remaining 50-48 = 2 people. Since 2 people in a boat seems like a really low count, the crew could likely spread the people out such that say 10 people would be in each boat (since 50/10 = 5).

So in short, the result of p/12 is rounded up to the nearest whole number.

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)

step-by-step explanation:

*calories burned = (weight)(calorie factor)*

calories burned = 180 (0.65)

calories burned = 117

the calories he used up is 117, which is 65% of his weight.
