Answer:

1,080 Pennies

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is fairly simple, you just have to simplify it. You are starting at already half-full, so you can keep that 1/2 in mind. Then, she adds 360 pennies to get 5/6. If you convert 1/2 into 3/6, you can see that 360 pennies fills 2/6 of the piggy bank. So now you can solve two different ways. The first, you can take 360 and multiply it by 3 to get the amount that can fit in the piggy bank, because 2 * 3 = 6 and that would make it 6/6, or 1. The other way would be to divide 360 by 2 to get 1/6 of the piggy bank, or 180. Then you can multiply 180 by 6 to get the entire amount.

Hope this helped ^-^

A circle has a radius of 3 cm. How does the circumference of the circle compare to the area? Drag and drop a phrase to correctly

Lilit [14]

The circumference is about 3.14 ( $\pi$ ) times bigger than twice the radius. Mathematically, this can be writted as $C = 2 \pi r$ , where C equals the circumference and r equals the radius, or $C = \pi d$ where C equals the circumference and d equals the radius.

It takes 4 pounds of apples to make 6 cups of applesauce. At this rate, how much applesauce can you make with 7 pounds of apples

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

10 1/2 cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

4 pounds of apples make 6 cups apple sauce.

So 1 pound apples makes 6/4 = 1 1/2 cups of sauce.

7 pounds will make 1 1/2 * 7

= 10 1/2 cups sauce.

Select the equation of the line parallel to the equation y = -2x - 7 that passes through the point (3, 1).

motikmotik

Formula of the line

y=mx+b.

For parallel line slope m is the same, so m= -2.

y=-2x+b.

We need to find b,using the point (3,1).

1= - 2*3+b

b=7

y = -2x +7

Answer is A. y = -2x +7.

How would i figure this out

Answer:

see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

To plot the line through the point, plot the point. Then find another point that has the given "rise" and "run". Draw the line through the two points.

The given point is (-7, -4). Locate that on the graph.

The slope is given as -2/3. This is the ratio of "rise" to "run", so it means the "rise" will be -2 for each "run" of 3. (rise/run = -2/3)

The rise is the vertical change. So, you want your second point to be 2 units below the given point. Its y-coordinate will be -4-2 = -6.

The run is the horizontal change. Your second point will be 3 units to the right of the given point, so its x-coordinate will be -7+3 = -4. Now, you can plot the point (-4, -6) and draw your graph through these two points.
