If you have two identical and symmetrical objects and divide one into 4ths and the other into 6ths, the pieces of the object divided into 4ths will be larger than the pieces of the object divided into 6ths.

1/4 = 25                                       4/4 = 100
1/6 = 16.66... (17)                        6/6 = 100
25 > 17

Answer:

  f(x) = 0.15x +25

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two points:

  (x, y) = (180, 52) or (350, 77.50)

The slope is given by ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (77.50 -52)/(350 -180) = 25.50/170 = 0.15

The y-intercept is given by ...

  b = y -mx

  b = 52 -0.15×180 = 25

Then the equation for the linear function is ...

  f(x) = mx +b

  f(x) = 0.15x +25

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 3) and (8, 6)
nadezda [96]

Answer:

The slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 3) and (8, 6) is \frac{1}{2}.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of two points, divide the difference between the y values by the difference between x values, you can remember this by the mnenomic "rise over run". In this case, the difference between y and x values would be 6 - 3 = 3 and 8 - 2 = 6 respectively. This means the slope between the two points (2, 3) and (8, 6) is \frac{3}{6} or \frac{1}{2}.

Bob decided to go to college, the cost of going to school will be $4,474 per semester, (there are 2 semesters per year) plus $38
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 semester = 4474

8 semester = 8* 4474                    35792

1 semester books = 389

8 semester books = 8* 389            <u> 3112 </u>

Total                                                38904  

If he is going to pay this off in 10 years, he would have to have an increase of 3890.40 (after all income taxes) to pay it off. Fewer years would mean dividing by the number of years.

So for 8 years for example, he would need 4863 every year.

That number is obtained by dividing 38904 / 8

In 6 years he would need

38904/6 = 6484 extra dollars.

Usimov [2.4K]
He needs 13 cans of paint.

The lateral area is given by the area of 5 rectangles, whose dimensions are 15 by 5:
5(15)(5) = 375

Divide this by 30:
375/30 = 12.5 ≈ 13
