To round you must see if the fraction is greater or less than a half to see if you round up or down. 1/8 is less than 1/2, so you must round down. So the answer is 5.

You look at the fraction: 1/8
You determine if it's closer to 0, 0.5, or 1.
In this case it is closer to 0.
So the answer would be 5.

The length of rectangle is represented by 8x - 3. The width of the rectangle is represented by 2x. The perimeter is 34 inches. W
Strike441 [17]

Answer: 20x-6 = 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The length of rectangle is represented by 8x - 3.

The width of the rectangle is represented by 2x.

The perimeter is 34 inches.

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (length + width)

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (8x-3+2x)

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (10x-3)

Perimeter of rectangle = 20x-6

Thus , the required equation that represent the perimeter: 20x-6 = 34

The equation f(x)= 2/3 x + 1 is giving me some hard times can anyone help?
hjlf
F(x) = 2/3x + 1

This is in the slope-intercept form of an equation for a line. 
Which is written as this: (Note f(x)= is the same as saying y= in this case)

y = mx + b

M is our slope. Slope is the RISE over the RUN

In other words it is y/x
For this graph y represents distance, and x represents time. (Life Tip: TIME is almost ALWAYS the X value) 

In this case M = 2/3

So her speed is: 
2 units/3 units

B is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is where the X-value equals 0. So, (0,y). Because the y-intercept is distance she should have a y-intercept of 0. (The origin) because that would mean at the start of the race she had no distance (aka she was at the starting line).

Because her y-intercept (b) = 1 she did have a head start.

Here are both the answers at once to make it easier for you: 
Speed (Replace Units with whatever units you were given. Distance Units go on top. Time units on bottom. Example: Meters/Second))
2 units/3 units

Did she have a head start? (Unit being whatever distance unit you were given) 
Yes, 1 unit.

Jocelyn and her children went into a bakery and she bought $9 worth of cookies and brownies. Each cookie costs $0.50 and each br
Yuliya22 [10]

Jace bought 4 cookies and 2 brownies from the bakery.

Let x represent the number of cookies and y represent the number of brownies.

Since he bought $9 worth of cookies and brownies. Each cookie costs $0.75 and each brownie costs $3. hence:

0.75x + 3y = 9      (1)

Also, he bought twice as many cookies as brownies, hence:

x = 2y

x - 2y = 0     (2)

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously gives x = 4, y = 2

Hence Jace bought 4 cookies and 2 brownies from the bakery.
