Answer: 2m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Zinaida [17]

Hello there, today you gave us the problem $\frac{17}{20}-\frac{4}{15}$ ,

Our first step is to give them common denominators, which is $\frac{51}{60}-\frac{16}{60}$ , solve it and we get $\frac{35}{60}$ as our answer, which can be simplified down to $\frac{7}{12}$

A farm stand sold 12 ears of corn for $4. The farm stand sold 180 ears of corn at the same rate.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Divide 4 by 12, which equals approximately 0.33333, then multiply that to 180, which gives us 60. So she sold 180 ears of corn for $60.

You are creating a model of a bookcase for a dollhouse.

Goshia [24]

Answer:

If the model is 3 inches tall, the model bookcase should be <em>2 inches</em> wide.

Step-by-step explanation:

When using similar figures, set up a proportion of the model measurements to the actual measurements:

$\frac{3}{48}=\frac{x}{32}$

Then cross multiply and solve for x:

$48x=96\\x=\frac{96}{48}\\x=2$

If this helped, a brainliest would be greatly appreciated!

Find the slope of the given line, if it is defined.

il63 [147K]

Answer: A. The slope is $-\dfrac{4}{3}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line helps to specify the direction of the line.

The slope of a line that passes through (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-

$\text{Slope}=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}$

Then the slope of a line passes through origin i.e. (0,0) and (-9,12) is given by :-

$\text{Slope}=\dfrac{12-0}{-9-0}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Slope}=\dfrac{12}{-9}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Slope}=-\dfrac{4}{3}$

Hence, the slope is $-\dfrac{4}{3}$ .
