Answer:

x = - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 15 is a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis

a perpendicular line must therefore be a vertical line parallel to the y- axis with equation

x = c

where c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through.

the line passes through (- 11, - 1 ) with x- coordinate of - 11 , then

x = - 11 ← equation of perpendicular line

Answer:

x = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

The line y = 15 is a horizontal line to the x-axis passing which passes through x = 0, y = 15

The line perpendicular to y = 15 passing through (-11, -1) is a vertical line where x = -11 for all values of y including -1

So the equation is x = -11

Jamie has 7/10 of a pound of chicken to cook for dinner if she's going to put the chicken in between three people how much chick

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Each person will get $\frac{7}{30}$ or approximately 0.23 pounds of chicken.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a word problem involving fractions. Using key words and phrases from the problem, we can decide which operation we need to use to solve. Since Jamie is splitting the chicken equally between three people, she would need to divide the amount of chicken she has by 3:

$\frac{7}{10}$ ÷ $\frac{3}{1}$

Since we can't divide fractions, we need to use the 'keep-change-flip' rule to keep the first fraction, change the operation to multiplication and flip the second fraction:

$\frac{7}{10}*\frac{1}{3}=\frac{7}{30}$
