A postal carrier can
deliver to 130 houses in a 2.5
hour period. At this rate,
how many hours will it take to
deliver to 312 houses?

I just need to know the rate for my homework answer.

6 hours or 360 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First find out how long it takes to deliver to one house.

Convert hours to minutes.

2.5 x 60 = 150 minutes total

Divide to find the time per house

150 minutes / 130 houses = 1.15 minutes per house

Now multiply this rate by the number of houses (312).

312 x 1.15 = 360 minutes

If you want it in hours then divide by 60.

360/60 = 6 hours.

answer: since the question is talking about growth you have to use the growth formula which is inital amount (1 + growth)^time

step-by-step explanation:

the intial amount is 1200, the growth is 4.8, and the time is 7. plug those numbers into the equation, also i think you have to change 4.8 into a percent. but, i have forgotton how to do that. if this is a online class go on to the lesson.
