Answer:

.625

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we need to make the denominator equal 100 so lets divide 100 by 8 to figure out what number we need to multiply the denominator by. 100/8=12.5

Now we know that to make 8 equal 100 we need to multiply the fraction by 12.5. Since we are multiply the denominator by 12.5 we also need to multiply the numerator by 8. (5*12.5)/(8*12.5)=62.5/100

Now we need to get rid of the decimal in our fraction so we can multiply both sides by 10 to move the decimal over (62.5*10)/(100*10)=625/1000

Any number over a multiply of ten can be written in decimal form so 625/1000=.625

Talja [164]

Answer:

Each person will get 5.34 ounces of soda.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find out how many ounces of soda each person gets we need to take the total amount of soda Magalie brought to the party and divide it by the number of people that will drink the soda. In this case we have:

amount per person = 48/9 = 5.34 ounces

Each person will get 5.34 ounces of soda.

write the slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the point (1,0) and is parallel to x-y=7. type your answer in the

dlinn [17]

We know that

a) the slope-intercept form of the line---------------> y=mx+b
b) if two lines are parallel both have the same slope
then
passes through the point (1,0) and is parallel to x-y=7

Step 1
Find the slope
x-y=7------------> y=x-7------------> m=1

Step 2
Find the slope-intercept form of the line---> y=mx+b
point (1,0) m=1
0=(1)*(1)+b------> b=-1
y=(1)*x-1--------> y=x-1

the answer is
y=x-1
