To function properly a rainwater outflow pipe must drop exactly 1 inch for every 25 inches of horizontal distance . a design calls for a drainage pipe to drop 25 inches as it crosses a building 45 feet wide. will the drainage pipe function properly?

We know that the rainwater outflow pipe must drop 1 inch per 25 horizontal inches, this ratio would be:

So, if the drainage pipe has this ratio, then it will function properly. Let's find out:

Because, 45 feet is equivalent to 540 inches.

So, the ratio would be:

first, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 > f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 > f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 > f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 > f (17) = 161743
