The length of an island is changing at the rate of –17 inches per year. How long will it take for the change in the length of the island to be –255 inches?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

15 years

Step-by-step explanation:

-255/-17=15

Answer 2

Based on the future dates concept, and the available content of the question, it will take 15 years for the change in length of the island to be -255 inches.

What is the Future date?

Future date is a term that is used to describe the major activities of a certain place or humans.

In this case, the time it takes for the change in length to be -255 inches we can set up the following equation:

Change in length = rate * time

-255 inches = -17 inches/year * time

To solve for time divide both sides of the equation by -17 inches/year:

time = -255 inches / (-17 inches/year)

Simplifying the expression:

time = 15 years

Therefore, in this case, it is concluded that it will take 15 years for the change in length of the island to be -255 inches.

Describe the corrections you made and why you made them.

Write a short paragraph – at least 3 sentences – explaining why people need to examine graphs closely and what features to look for so they can identify misleading graphs.

Answers

Analysing the pie chart.

ANSWER:

Explain what features of the graph make it misleading.

This graph is highly misleading, seeing as numerical calculations don't add up to 100%, as the standard pie chart does. The numerical values of each section  add up to 178% which makes this pie chart extremely hard to interpret upon first glance. (Keep this information, it'll be important!)

Describe what people seeing the graph might misinterpret because of the misleading features.

Seeing as most people look at percentages out of 100%, people may think that one section describes 68% of 100% of people who took a survey felt a certain way, when in reality, the calculations are just off. Not only are the titles of the pie chart sections extremely generic, they don't give much context to the situation, even with the title in mind.

Designing a new pie chart.

Design a new version of the graph changing the misleading features so that the graph is no longer misleading. Use the same data provided in the original graph.

EXPLANATION:

1. We will start with the title and our section names. We have three sections based on the title 'Biggest COV-19 Worries,' which we can keep. We can rename our titles in this manner:

Getting It ---> Contracting COV-19

Family Getting It ---> Relatives Contracting COV-19

The Economy ---> COV-19's Effect on US Economy

2. Now we can look at percentages. I'll give an explanation and then I'll give numerical values for your recreation of the pie chart:

Since our pie chart has a whole value of 178%, we need to convert our numerical values to 100%. (ex. 89% of 178% = 50% of 100%) We can use simple decimal/percentage conversion for this.

68% of 178% = 38.2% of 100%

62% of 178% = 34.8% of 100%

48% of 178% = 26.9% of 100%

If we round these all accordingly, we get 38%, 35%, and 27%, which all add up to 100%.

Now we can create the bar graph with the right proportions for a bar graph of our values.

ANSWER/GUIDE:

38% corresponds to 'COV-19's Effect on US Economy,' 35% to 'Relatives Contracting COV-19,' and 27% to 'Contracting COV-19.'

(There are a few websites that allow you to make pie charts with numeric values, titles, and section names. Hope you're able to use one.

With our new graph, we corrected the misleading percentages in the pie chart, the generic and bland language of the descriptions, and made the graph much easier to read and interpret.

Why things like this shouldn't happen.

Write a short paragraph -- at least 3 sentences -- explaining why people need to examine graphs closely and what features to look for so they can identify misleading graphs.

ANSWER:

Things like this cannot happen as it can lead to make wrongful assumptions or claims. Not only will this confuse someone, it simply miseducates everyone who tries to interpret the graph as written. When expressing something highly important such as the COV-19 pandemic, you want to make sure you are giving credible and reliable information. When you're making graphs such as this, you want to look for three main things:

What data has been collectedHow this data is being interpretedWhether or not the data is precise and informative

Hope this helped and good luck, fellow scholar!

1) more then 100 percent in one graph 2) it’s not 100 so they might think people think both or all 3 3) simplify it so all added together then divide by 3 4) add all 3 then divide to get the ratio then divide the number I got with the percentages so it could equal 100 4) N/A

Answer:

Bonnie :

Slope = (16 - 12) / (1 - 0) = 4/1 = 4

So Bonnie is adding $ 4 every week to her savings

Bobby :

y = 12x + 4

The slope here is 12.....so he is adding $ 12 every week to his savings

Therefore, the rate at which Bobbie is adding to his savings each week is (12 - 4) = $ 8 more then the rate at which Bonnie is adding to her savings account each week

Last question:

Answers

Answer:

y=-3x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

Rise/run

To find slope you can use the rise/run strategy. You count how many units up/down and then how many right/left. between each point on the line, it was down 3 units, right 1 unit (3/1) and since it was going down it would be negative.

As for the y-intercept, you look at where the line crosses the y-axis. In this case it was at (0,7), so the answer would be 7.

Plug your answers in and your equation should be y=-3+7.

You could also do y=7-3x, its the same equation but reversed, so you'll get the same line.

Hope this helps :)
