Answer:

Since 5 9/16 is closest to 6, and 4 1/8 is closest to the benchmark 4. The total of the benchmark is 10. So, Parker's estimate is (I'm assuming the dropdown had "wrong" as an option)

Step-by-step explanation:

Parker assumed that Mr.Thompson used about nine pounds of pancake mix. Parker was fairly close but just one off. If you were to solve this without having to use a whole number for an estimate. The answer would be 9 11/16, instead of 10. Anyways, I should explain why 5 9/16 is round to 6. It's rounded to six as a whole number because 9/16 is over half of 16. Half of 16 is "8".So anything that is 8/16 and up is automatically round to the number ahead (that's whole).

I hope this helps!!!

Sara selects two of the seven colors of the rainbow, one after another, with replacement. What is the probability that the first
Triss [41]

Well, there are actually millions of colors in the rainbow, (every color that the human eye can see), but I do understand the question you're asking:

 

-- When Sara is ready to make her first selection, there are seven things with different colors in the pot, and one of them is red.

The probability that she picks the red one is ( 1 / 7 ).

The question says "with replacement". That means that after she selects it and looks at it, she puts it back in the pot. So . . .

-- When she's ready to make her second selection, the same seven things with different colors are still in the pot.  One of them is orange.

The probability that she picks the orange one is ( 1 / 7 ).

-- The probability of BOTH selections being successful (the color she wants) is

(1/7) x (1/7) .

That's <em>(1/49)</em>, which is about  <em>2.04 percent</em> .

Choose the equation that represents the graph below: (1 point) Graph of a line passing through points 0 comma 6 and 9 comma 0 y
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Equation of a line y=\frac{-2}{3}x+6 passing through (0,6) and (9,0).

Explanation:

Given the two points (0, 6) and (9 ,0).

To find the equation for the given two points (x_{1},y_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2}) is,

y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1}); where m is the slope and is given by:

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

First find the slope m:

m=\frac{0-6}{9-0} =\frac{-6}{9} =\frac{-2}{3}

Substitute this value in equation of line:

y-6=\frac{-2}{3} (x-0) or

y-6=\frac{-2}{3} x

⇒ y=\frac{-2}{3}x+6

Therefore, the equation for the given point is:  y=\frac{-2}{3}x+6

The area of a square concrete slab is 20 square feet. Find the side length of the square concrete slab if the area is increase b
guapka [62]

The side length of the square concrete slab if the area is increased by 25% is 5feet

The formula for calculating the area of a square is expressed as:

A =  L² where:

L is the side length of the square

Given the area of the square concrete slab = 20 square feet

20 = L²

L =√20

If the area is increased  by 25%, new area will be:

An = 20 + (0.25*20)

An = 20 + 5

An = 25 sq.ft

Get the new length

An = Ln²

25 =   Ln²

Ln = √25

Ln = 5feet

Hence the side length of the square concrete slab if the area is increased by 25% is 5feet

Please help I’m really confused. I will give BRAINLIEST!
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

t = 115

s = 60

g(x) = 10/23x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

find s first since its easy (it goes up by 10's)

then take a pair from the table that corresponds such as 69 for x and 30 for g(x) and turn them into a fraction:

69/30

do the same for t:

t/50

equal 69/30 to t/50 and solve using cross multiplication:

69/30 = t/50 =  

30t = 3450

/30      /30

t = 115

honestly had a little hard time finding the equation but basically I simplified the fraction 30/69 to get 10/23 for slope and then I insert a corresponding x and y value into y= mx+b with the slope value to find b.
