<h3>How to solve for the division of these words problems</h3>

1. dividing a whole number by a fraction less than 1 whole results in a quotient that is same as the original number.

2. the quantity that both girls are splitting is 1/4

This would be 1/4 ÷ 2

= 1/4 * 1/2

= 1/8

each girl would get 1/8 of the cake

3. 3 1/2 ÷ 7

= 7/2 * 1/7

= 7/14

= 1/2

Each friend would get 1/2 of the marshmallow

5. weight = 16.5

n = 10

average weight would be

16.5/10

= 1.65

6. Total number of cups needed = 7

at a time = 3.5 of this 7

then 3.5 x 2 would give the exact number.

Danny has to use 2 pots of water.

7. 2 feet / 1/4

2 * 0.25

= 8, Danny would have 8 pieces of ropes after

Graph 3x + 4y = -10

First, isolate y on one side to find some information about the graph.

3x+4y=-10
4y=-10-3x
y=(-10-3x)/4

Now find out the x and y intercepts of this equation;

(0)=(-10-3x)/4
4x0=-10-3x
0=-10-3x
3x=-10
x=-10/3 or -3.3333 (x-intercept)

y=(-10-3(0))/4
4y=-10
y=-10/4 or -5/2 = -2.5 (y-intercept)

Plot these points onto your graph and connect the lines.

I have attached a graph below, I'm sorry I couldn't do it on paper.

Hope I helped :)
