11. an ant poplution grows at a rate of about 20 ants per month if not controlled with pecticide. therefore, the total
number of ants, a, in m, months can be represented by the equation a = 20m. which of the following could not be a
value for m?
negative numbers
rational
numbers greater than 14
zero
12. what is the coefficient of the 2nd and 4th term in this expression?
4x2 – 13v1 + 2 + 160 - 3b
(19x + 1)(17y - 5)(32 + 1)(59 -20)
13. how many factors are in each expression below?
x(5y + 4)
(3a - 2)(b + 1)

2 & 7

step-by-step explanation:

he climbs 300 ft/hr at a constant rate. the peak is at 1,500 ft.

when going up, he reaches 600 ft in 2 hours. remember, that he is going in a constant rate. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = 2

assuming that he takes the same route back (meaning that it's a 1500 ft route back, you can solve.

note also that you are solving when he gets back to 600 ft after he reaches the peak.

first, find the amount of hours it takes to get up the peak. divide the total amount (1500), with the ft/her (300) to get the amount of hours (x):

1500/300 = x

x = 5

it takes jamie 5 hours to get up. now, he is returning down, and reaches 600 (his current destination). remember that he climbs at a constant 300 ft/hr. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = x

x = 2

now add the two numbers together.

x = 5 + 2 = 7

jamie takes 7 hours to go up the mountain and reach his current position when descending.

(total amount/constant rate) = (time).

remember that it is a constant rate, so in total, when he gets back down the mountain, it will take the same amount of time as when he goes up. the total amount for the round trip is: 5 + 5 = 10.

191 students play sports and ninety-seven 10th graders were surveyed.

step-by-step explanation:

$15.40 per mile

step-by-step explanation:

you have to round up to 4 because 6 is over 5 so you have to round the 3 up to 4

a

step-by-step explanation:

the denominator cannot be the same as one of the factors.

8 denominator times 2 denominator = 16

and 7 numerator time 11 = 77

77/16= 77/16 ( they cannot be further simplified)
