Question

On a snow day, Robert created two snowmen in his backyard. Snowman A was built to a height of 33 inches and Snowman B was built to a height of 45 inches. The next day, the temperature increased and both snowmen began to melt. At sunrise, Snowman A's height decrease by 6 inches per hour and Snowman B's height decreased by 9 inches per hour. Let AA represent the height of Snowman A tt hours after sunrise and let BB represent the height of Snowman B tt hours after sunrise. Graph each function and determine which Snowman is taller after 3 hours.

Answer 1

Answer: Snowman B is taller than snowman A.

Explanation:
Multiply 6 by three to see the amount of decrease in snowman A. Then, multiply 9 by three to see the amount of decrease in snowman B. Then subtract the 6 x 3 by 33. (33-(6x3) = the height of snowman A. Now, time for snowman B, subtract 45 by the
9 x3. 45- (9 x 3). Compare you answer and you'll see who is taller after the three hours.
