Explain why it works to break apart a number by place values to multiply

At the olympic games, many events have several rounds of competition. one of these events is the men's 100-meter backstroke. the upper dot plot shows the times (in seconds) of the top 8 finishers in the final round of the 2012 olympics. the lower dot plot shows the times of the same 8 swimmers, but in the semifinal round. which pieces of information can be gathered from these dot plots? (remember that lower swim times are faster.) choose all answers that apply: a: the swimmers had faster times on average in the final round. b: the times in the final round vary noticeably more than the times in the semifinal round. c: none of the above.

Suppose that a households monthly water bill (in dollars) is a linear function of the amount of water the household uses (in hundreds of cubic feet, hcf). when graphed, the function gives a line with slope of 1.65. if the monthly cost for 13 hcf is $46.10 what is the monthly cost for 19 hcf?

What is the slope of the line shown below?
