Answer:
-15/2 (or -7 1/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
-7.5 is equal to -75/10.
When you simplify it, you get:
-15/2 which simplifies to -7 1/2
Answer:
1/10
Step-by-step explanation:
5/20 x 8/20 = 1/10
9514 1404 393
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of students (32) corresponds to the total number of ratio units (3+5 = 8), so each ratio unit represents 32/8 = 4 students.
The 3 ratio units representing boys will stand for 3×4 = 12 boys.
The 5 ratio units representing girls will stand for 5×4 = 20 girls.
There are 12 boys and 20 girls in Janice's classroom.

<em>Additional comment</em>
I find the above solution to be the easiest.
You can also write a system of equations. Let b and g represent the numbers of boys and girls, respectively.
b/g = 3/5
b +g = 32
Multiplying the first equation by g gives an expression for b that can be substituted into the second equation:
b = (3/5)g
(3/5)g +g = 32
8/5g = 32 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
g = (5/8)(32) = 5·4 = 20 . . . . . . multiply by 5/8
b = (3/5)(20) = 3·4 = 12 . . . . . . . find b using the value of g

Answer:
y = -3.5x + 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Your slope-intercept equation is always y = mx + b
Using this formula, we need to find slope first: m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
Step 1: Find slope
m = (1-8) / (4-2)
m = -7/2
Step 2: Plug in into slope-intercept form
y = -3.5x + b
Step 3: Find <em>b </em>(Plug in a coordinate given)
1 = -3.5(4) + b
1 = -14 + b
b = 15
Step 4: Combine it all together
y = -3.5x + 15
And you have your final answer.
