27 over 40 (as a fraction)
WORK:
.675 is 675 over 1000
5 goes into both of those so
675/5=135 1000/5=200
135/5=27
200/5=40
The correct slope is -5/2.
The formula for slope is
m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)
The y-coordinate of the second point is 0, and the y-coordinate of the first point is 2. The x-coordinate of the second point is 0.8 and the x-coordinate of the first point is 0:
m = (0-2)/(0.8-0) = -2/0.8 = -2 ÷ 8/10 = -2 × 10/8 = -2/1 × 10/8 = -20/8 = -5/2
Answer:
6 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
Total savings= $325
For every week, his total savings decrease by $28.
Let's form an expression for the amount of money left in his account after w weeks.
325 -28w= 157
28w= 325 -157
28w= 168
<em>Divide by 28 on both sides:</em>
w= 168 ÷28
w= 6
Thus, there are 6 weeks until he has $157.
