Answer:

4.75 or round up to 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

if each pie has 8 slices, then you must do 8+8+8... and so on until u reach 38. However you wont get exactly 38 because 8 doesn't add up evenly into 38. You can find the exact number by divding the amount of people, 38, by the number of slices per pie, 8. The answer will be 4.75 but you can not buy a fraction of a pie so you must round up to 5 whole pies. There will be extra left over in the end, but you cant round down because 4 pies would not be enough, so you must buy 5.

At the end of a snow storm, Audrey saw there was a lot of snow on her front lawn.
Montano1993 [528]

An equation that represents the depth of snow on Audrey's lawn, in inches, t hours after the snow stopped falling is S = 10 - 2t

In this question, there was a depth of 10 inches of snow on the lawn when the storm ended and then it started a melting at a rate of 2 inches per hour.

We need to write an equation for S in terms of t, snow representing the depth of snow on Audrey's lawn, in inches, t hours after the snow stopped falling.

So, the equation would be,

S = 10 - 2t

Therefore,  an equation that represents the depth of snow on Audrey's lawn, in inches, t hours after the snow stopped falling is S = 10 - 2t

Fatima wants to find the value of sine theta, given cotangent theta = four-sevenths. which identity would be best for fatima to
horsena [70]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the right triangle with cot theta = 4/7  = (adjacent side / opposite side), Fatima can find the length of the hypotenuse using Pythagoras. This gives  a value of 8.0823. So cos theta = 4 / 8.0823 = 0,49614,

Then she could find the values of sin theta  using

sine squared theta + cos squared theta = 1.
