Okay, so he started out with 45 lbs. 

Let's make 40% into a decimal. 

40%= .4

I would multiply .4 to 45.
 18.

Add 18 to 45 to get the answer.

The original weight of his bag was 63 pounds.

The number 1/10 can be expressed as a decimal by dividing the top number by the bottom.
1/10=0.1
0.8>0.1
0.8>1/10

26)
The number 3/5 can also be expressed as a decimal, using the method I described for 24.
3/5=0.6
0.6>0.35
3/5>0.35

28)
The number 2/5 can also be expressed as a decimal.
2/5=0.4
0.4>0.3
2/5>0.3

30)
The number 1/6 cannot be expressed as a decimal. So, express 0.2 as a fraction.
0.2=2/10=1/5
1/5=6/30
1/6=5/30
6/30>5/30
0.2>1/6

Hope this helps!

Area of equilateral triangle = a^2/4 * √3 so side of triangle = a

but if area of equilateral triangle =  area of square multiplied by √3 then area of square = a^2 / 4 so side of square = a/2

the ratio length of side triangle to length side of square = a: a/2 that means the side of triangle is doubled the side of square

Using the slope​ formula, find the slope of the line through the given points.
UNO [17]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

  = (-5--5)/ (9--8)

 = (-5+5)/(9+8)

 = 0/17

=0

The slope it 0

This is a horizontal line because the y value doesn't change.  If the y value doesn't change, the slope it zero.

Determine algebrically if f(x)=4x³-5x is odd or even function​
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Odd function

Step-by-step explanation:

So to see if a function is odd or even we need to plug in a negative x for x, so f(-x)=4(-x)^3-5(-x). This produces -4x^3+5x, which is the exact opposite of the original equation, so it is an odd function. If it were even, then the signs of the coefficients would be the same as the original function.
