Question

Delivered 32 papers in 2 hours and 96 papers in 6 hours.

Ray:
y = 14x
x = time (in hours)
y = papers delivered
Timothy and Ray both work for the city newspaper delivering papers. Review the data shown above. Which statement
below is true?

Answer 1

The statement that is true is: Timothy delivers 2 papers per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that is true is: Timothy delivers 2 papers per hour.

To find this, we can solve the given equations:

Ray: y = 14x, where x is the time in hours and y is the number of papers delivered by Ray.

We know that Ray delivered 32 papers in 2 hours, so the equation becomes: 32 = 14(2). Solving for the unknown, we get y = 28.

Similarly, Timothy delivered 96 papers in 6 hours. Using the same equation, we have: 96 = 14(6). Solving for the unknown again, we get y = 84.

Therefore, Timothy delivers 2 papers per hour (y = 84/6 = 14).
