Math and science connections-the fastest lava flow measured was 60km/hr a horse outrun this flow at 48mi/hr? shown all work?

5 miles = 8 km to 1 d.p.
60 x 5/8 = 37.5 miles
(Lava Flow) 37.5 < 48 (Horse)
In addition, that was only the fastest speed that it was recorded. This means that there would have been slower rates of movement, further decreasing the flows total distance in an hour.

  $2450

Step-by-step explanation:

Understand the function gives you the profit when x is the number of meals. You are asked for the profit for 50 meals. You solve it by evaluating the function with x=50.

  P = -2(50²) +152(50) -150

  P = -5000 +7600 -150

  P = 2450

Amelia will make $2450 in profit when she caters 50 meals.
