A forest covers 33,000 acres. A survey finds that 0.8% of a forest is old-growth-tree. How many acres of old-growth-trees are there?

264 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 33,000 acres is 100%, 330 acres is 1% because 33000 acres divided by 100 is 330 acres. Then if 330 acres is 1%, 33 acres is 0.1% because 330 acres divided by 10 is 33 acres. 1 divided by 10 is 0.1.

Next 33 acres times 8 because 0.8% is eight times bigger than 0.01%. This equals to 264 acres.

this is a direct variation proportion. y = kx

y is the total amount due, k is the constant of variation, and x is the number of texts sent.

plug in the 3.20 and the 16 to solve for the "k". this is the constant of proportionality. it is the value that will not change.

3.20 = k(16). solving you get $.20 per text.

the equation would then be y = .20x

45.36 feet per second.

step-by-step explanation:

to find the most accurate determination for the number of feet per second tyrone traveled on his way to work let us convert miles to feet and minutes to seconds.

1 mile = 5280 feet.

1 minute = 60 seconds.

now we will divide 158400 by 3492 to find the most accurate determination for the number of feet per second tyrone traveled on his way to work.

therefore, tyrone traveled on his way to work at the rate of 45.36 feet per second.
