Miss Ferguson recorded 17 absences the first 30 days of school. During the last 60 days of school, she recorded 42 absences. Are the rates equivalent?

No, they are not

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate can be described in terms of absences per day.

Now in the first 30 days, they were 17 absences. The rate would thus be number of absences divided by number of days and that is 17/30

In the second run, there were 42 absences in the recent 60 days, rate here would be 42/60 and that is 21/30

Thus, the rates are not equivalent

step-by-step explanation:

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
