71/20 is not in simplest form because you need to change it into a mixed number by dividing 71 and 20 and putting the remainder over 20.
Since 1/3 can't be turned into a decimal, change .5 into 1/2. In order to subtract, the fractions need a common denominator. The least common denominator is 6. So 1/3 turns into 2/6, and 1/2 turns into 3/6. Now you need to take 9 3/6 minus 6 2/6. The answer is 3 1/6 gallons of water.
Answer:
5:1
Step-by-step explanation:
Originally the ratio is 20:4
but then it is simplified to 10:2
then 5:1
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

m - slope
b - y-intercept
The formula of a slope:

From the graph we have two points (-5, -1) and (-2, -3).
<em>Look at the picture</em>.
Calculate the slope:

Put it to the equation in slope-intercept form:

We can't read the y-intercept from the graph. Therefore put the coordinates of the point (-5, -1) to the equation and calculate <em>b</em>:

<em>subtract 10/3 from both sides</em>

Finally:

Is there any answer choices to what we are looking for?
