So 5/8 of $24
5/8 * 24
15
Joshua spent $15.
Hope this helps :)
The first step is since you know what the slope is, you can just plug that into the equation. We now have y=3x+b, b being the y intercept.
3 is equal to 3/1, and you can use that to find the Y intercept. Start at the point that they game you and go up 3 and over 1. But this makes you further away from the Y axis, so you want to do the opposite. Go down 3 and over 1.\
This makes you end up on the Y intercept at (0,1)
Making the equation y=3x+1
Take 2 divided by 5 to convert them both into decimals then compare them
Answer:
10 rows with 6 passengers per row
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of rows and y the number of passengers per row.
Then we can interpret the story as the following two equations:
xy=60
(x+2)(y-1)=60
Solving these two equations:
y=60/x
(x+2)(60/x-1)=60 (substitute y)
60 - x + 120/x - 2 = 60 (multiply by -x)
x² + 2x - 120 = 0 (factor)
(x-10)(x+12) = 0
x = 10
y = 60/10 = 6
and indeed 10 * 6 = 60 and also 12 * 5 = 60
Funny I just answered the same exact question just a minute ago, but anyway the area formula is A=L*W, so that means that you need to multiply 2/5 times 1/3 to get the area. Once you do that it wants you to put it in the simplest form, which only means to reduce it down, unless it doesn't need too. Like if I got 10/20, the simplest form would be 1/2, because 10/20 is the same as 1/2, just reduced down. Apply the same logic to your problem and you will get your answer
