Answer:

Pitcher 1/3 gallon = 4/12 gallon

Jug 3/4 = 9/12 gallon

So, it will take 2 pitchers plus 1/12 of a gallon to fill the jug.

How to solve this math -9(-6w+3u-4)

Goryan [66]

-54w-27u+36 because -9 times 6 = 54 and -9 times 3 = 27 and -9 times -4 = 36 so -54w -27 u + 36

find an equation for the perpendicular bisector of the line segment whose endpoints are (-8,-5) and (-4,1)

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

y = -x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint of the line:

x = (x1 + x2)/2 = (-8 + -4)/2 = -12/2 = -6

y = (y1 + y2)/2 = (-5 + 1)/2 = -4/2 = -2

so midpoint is (-6,-2)

Slope of the line: Slope m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (-1 - -5)/(-4 - -8) = (-1 + 5)/(-4 + 8) = 4/4 = 1

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another

so slope of the perpendicular line is -1/1 is -1

y = mx + b

y = -x + b

Using (-6,-2)

-2 = -(-6) + b

-2 = 6 + b

b = -8

so y = -x - 8

Substitute t=-8

h(-8) =-2(-8+5)^2+3

=-2(-3)^2+3

=-2(9)+3

=-18+3

=-15

Together, teammates Pedro and Ricky got 2673 base hits last season. Pedro had 277 more hits than Ricky. How many hits did each

ioda

Answer:

Pedro got 1520 base hits and Ricky got 1243.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of base hits that Pedro got.

y is the number of base hits that Ricky got.

Pedro and Ricky got 2673 base hits last season.

This means that $x + y = 2763$

Pedro had 277 more hits than Ricky.

This means that $x = y + 277$

Replacing in the first equation

$x + y = 2763$

$y + 277 + y = 2763$

$2y = 2486$

$y = \frac{2486}{2}$

$y = 1243$

$x = y + 277 = 1243 + 277 = 1520$

Pedro got 1520 base hits and Ricky got 1243.
