The entire race is 1 full race.
One full race is 1.
He ran 3/8 of 1, so he ran 3/8.
He needs to run the rest of the race.
The rest is unknown, so we call it x.
When you add 3/8 to the unknown, you get the full race.
The equation is

x + 3/8 = 1

Change 1 to a denominator of 8.

x + 3/8 = 8/8

Subtract 3/8 from both sides.

x = 5/8

Answer: He still needs to run 5/8 of the race.

NikAS [45]

The school originally used $20 for the purchase of the candy.
Use the formula Y=2x to find how much money is made (y) from the number of candy bars (x)
Sub in the 15 bars for t
Y=2(15)
Y=30
Therefore the school made $10, because they earned an extra $10 in comparison to the amount they bought the candy bars for, which was $20.
Hope this helps!

Which graph shows the points (–3, 5) and (4, –3) plotted correctly?

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is clearly a linear relationship. If Alex rented the movie for 0 days, he'd owe nothing. If he paid $6 for a 3-day rental, the slope of this line would be m = rise / run = $6/(3 days) = $2/day, which is positive.

Then the equation for this graph is C(x) = ($2/day)x, where x is the number of days for which the movie is rented.

Using this formula, we find three particular points on the graph:

(1, $2), (2, $4), (3, ($6)

Carl and rose live in the same straight road. From their balconies they can see a flagpole in the distance. The angle that each

Andreyy89

Carl and Rose' balconies make up the base of an isosceles triangle.

Their distances from the flagpole is the same.

From the question, we understand that:

Carl and Rose live on a straight line
The measure of angle from each person's balcony to the flagpole is the same

The above highlights mean that:

The relationship between Carl and Rose' balconies and the flagpole is an isosceles triangle.

Where Carl and Rose' balconies form the base of the isosceles triangle.

Hence, their distances from the flagpole is the same.
