Earl runs 50 meters in 20 seconds. How many meters does Earl run per second?

Earl can run 2.5 meters in one second.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Earl can run 50 meters in 20 seconds. That means he can run 150 meters in one minute and 9,000 meters (or 9 kilometers) in one hour. 50 meters / 20 seconds = ? meters / 1 second

50 meters / 20 seconds = x / 1 second

(50 x 1) = (20) (x)

50 = 20x divide both sides by 20 to get the "x" alone

50 / 20 = x

2.5 = x

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.

false

inverse variation is not exponential
