Two cars got an oil change at the same auto shop. The shop charges customers for each quart of oil plus a flat fee for labor. Th
e oil change for one car required 5 quarts of oil and cost $22.45. The oil change for the other car required 7 quarts of oil and cost $25.45. How much is the labor fee and how much is each quart of oil?
y = mx + b slope(m) = 1.5 use either of ur points...(5,22.45)...x = 5 and y = 22.45 now sub and find b 22.45 = 1.5(5) + b 22.45 = 7.5 + b 22.45 - 7.5 = b 14.95 = b
so ur equation is : y = 1.5x + 14.95.......this means that each quart of oil costs $ 1.50 and the labor fee costs $ 14.95
So we want to write a fraction that is less than 5/6 and has a denominator of 8. So lets start from 1/1 that is greater then 5/6 and doesn't have 8 as a denominator. Lets take one half from 1/1 and well get 1/2.
