Polina the Polar Bear sat on an ice floe in the Arctic Ocean, north of Alaska. Polina was waiting for her mother, Bearnice, to return hwith some tasty seal blubber for lunch. Bearnice was hunting, waiting for seals to come up for air through holes in the ice, the same way Polar Bears have hunted in the winter for centuries. Except this year there was one big difference.
A lot more of the ice had melted last summer, and this winter it hadn’t refrozen as usual. A combination of warmer weather and changes in water and air currents was making the ocean warmer than anyone could remember, and Bearnice had to swim farther every day to find a good hunting spot.
As Polina waited for her mother to bring food back to her floe, the ice shrank bit by bit until she was sitting on very thin ice. As Polina waited helplessly, the furry white cub heard a deep voice coming from the direction of the sea.
“Hellooo little bear,” it said. Polina had never heard such a deep voice. She lifted her tired head to look out over the water, and was surprised that the voice seemed to come from a dark ice floe just offshore.
"No, wait!" It had a huge eyeball that was looking directly at her. It wasn’t an ice floe — it was the largest whale Polina had ever seen. It was also the first whale that had ever spoken to her.
“They call me Farswimmer,”said the whale, “because I travel all over the world, having adventures and learning new things. What brings you here alone, Polar Bear?” Farswimmer was very old, and he had seen many changes in his years of exploring the oceans. He certainly knew more about the world than most polar bears.
Farswimmer seemed like a nice whale, but Polina remembered Bearnice, her mother, and how she hadn’t come back from hunting.
Farswimmer blew a tall spout to distract Polina and stop her from crying.
When Polina told the whale her own story, he said, “I’m headed north anyway. You could ride on my back, and we can look for your mother. Are you ready for an adventure?” The next morning, Farswimmer and Polina charted their course and took off. Polina rode Farswimmer’s back and sometimes floated behind him, holding his tail. She also stood on his back and pretended she was surfing. It was a blast.
They took a break on an ice floe. Soon, they saw something in the distance that looked like another ice floe, but just to be sure, Farswimmer left Polina on the ice and swam to the floating object.
It wasn’t an object. It was an animal. Farswimmer used his fat nose to push the animal to Polina’s icy raft. When they got closer, Polina saw a familiar face.
“Mommy,” she yelped. Bearnice was very tired, but the sound of her cub’s voice made her happy. She opened her arms and the two embraced each other in a big bear hug.

QUESTION Lin’s father is paying for a $20 meal. He has a 15%-off coupon for the meal. After the discount, a 7% sales tax is applied.
how much does lin father pay for the meal
Answer:
18.19
Step-by-step explanation:
First we must determine how much 15% of 20 is (3). Now we must subtract that from 20 (20-3=17$) Once we have that we must figure out how much 7% of 17 is ($1.19) Lastly, we must add the tax to 17.00 (17+1.19) to get 18.19.

Which function is best represented by the graph?
Answer:
J
Step-by-step explanation:
First look at the y-intercept. When y=0, you get 8 on the graph, so in the equation it has to give you 8 as well.
This narrows it down to F G J
Next, the slope of the graph is negative because its tilting downwards.
This narrows it down to G J
Finally, on the graph when y=0, you get 6, so the equation has to meet this too
With your choices narrowed down to G and J, calculate the x-intercepts.
0= -4/3x+8
-8= -4/3x
-8(-3/4)=x
x=6
Answer:
The answer is J
Step-by-step explanation:
the y-intercept is 8 and to find the slope you count rise over run, well the graph is too small to tell what points are actually on the lines, but it's given that (0,8) and (6,0) are points. making the rise/run= to 8/6 and then simplify to 4/3. and you can tell that the slope is negative because it's going downward from left to right.
The points (5, -5) and (9, r) lle
lle on a line with slope - 2. Find the missing coordinate r.
what is the scale factor
Answer:
2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it's from a big square to a smaller square, the smaller number will be at the top. Also, use the same side to find the scale factor, but since this is a square and all sides of a square are equal, it doesn't matter but in other shapes it does so practice i guess:
Left side of big square: 5
Left side of small square: 2
So scale is 2/5
To confirm:
5 · 2/5 = 10/5 = 2, we're right

The minute hand of a clock in a clock tower has a length of 36 inches.
If a butterfly landed on the extreme tip of the minute hand at exactly 12:00 noon and rode the minute hand until 12:45 p.m., how far did the butterfly ride along the arc traced by the minute hand? Round your answer to the nearest foot.
Answer:
45 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Butterfly will ride along the arc traced by the minute hand = 14 feet
Perimeter of a sector: Perimeter of a sector of a circle is given by the expression,
[tex]P=\frac{\theta}{360^\circ}(2\pi r)[/tex]
Here, θ = Angle formed at the center of the circle by the arc of
a sector
r = Radius of the circle
Since, minute hand of a clock forms an angle measuring 270° at the center to cover from 12:00 noon to 12:45 p.m.
Length of the minute hand = 36 inches
Perimeter of the arc = [tex]\frac{270}{360}(2\pi)(36)[/tex]
= 169.646 inches
Since, 1 inch = [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] foot
169.646 inches = 14.137 ft.
≈ 14 ft.
Therefore, butterfly will ride 14 feet along the arc traced by minute hand.

a rectangle is 6 times as long as it is wide. the perimeter is 140 cm. find the area of the rectangle. round to the nearest tenth if necessary.
Answer: [tex]w = 10[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Our perimeter will be 140 cm and our width of the rectangle will be 6w. We will then divide 14w and 140 by 14 so we can get w by itself. Then, we will divide the perimeter by the width.
Step 1: Let 6w will be our length and let the perimeter be 140 cm.
[tex]6w, P = 140 cm[/tex]
Step 2: Perimeter means that you add up all the 4 sides of the rectangle.
[tex]P = 140 = w + w + 6w + 6w = 14w[/tex]
[tex]P = 140, 14w[/tex]
Step 3: Divide both sides 14 to get the single w variable.
[tex]\frac{140}{14} = \frac{14w}{14}[/tex]
Step 4: Simplify.
[tex]10 = w[/tex]
Step 5: Flip sides.
[tex]w = 10[/tex]
