You would be able to cut 144 pieces of wire from the spool because 270/1 7/8 (or 1.875) equals 144

Step-by-step explanation:

The table shows a linear function.

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 7) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table

m = $\frac{7-3}{2-1}$ = 4, thus

y = 4x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute any ordered pair into the partial equation

Using (1, 3), then

3 = 4 + c ⇒ c = 3 - 4 = - 1

y = 4x - 1 → C

In 2008 election there was 28 blue states and 22 red states express the red and blue states as fractions in lowest terms of the

Basile [38]

Let's start with the blue states. Out of 50 states, 28 of them were blue.
Therefore, the fraction would be 28/50. Let's reduce it.
28/50=14/25 --> these are the lowest terms for this fraction
Use a calculator to find the decimal solution --> 14/25= .56

Now, let's do the red states. Out of the 50 states, 22 of them were blue.
22/50=11/25 --> lowest terms
Use a calculator --> 11/25= .43
