A responsible estimate would be 14. 
You estimate each of the mixed numbers to the nearest whole number:
4 1/8=4 because 1/8 is less than 1/2 so the number stays the same
3 2/3=4 because 2/3 is grater than 1/2
5 1/2 =6 because 1/2 is equal to 1/2 which means you estimate up.
So 4+4+6=14

First, mentally add the whole numbers.
4+3+5=12
Now, look at the fractions. 1/8, 2/3, and 1/2.
2/3 is bigger than 1/2, so you can add in another whole number.
12+1=13
1/8 is tiny, and won't add a whole lot to the mix, so just leave that.
A reasonable estimate would be 13 1/8

A school play sells adult and child tickets. On Friday they sold 55 child tickets and 20 adult tickets for $200. On Saturday the
Anarel [89]

Answer:

$2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, price of individual child ticket is $x, and price of individual adult ticket is $y.

Now, on Friday we can write an equation is 55x+20y=200....(1).

and on Saturday we can write an equation is 72x+36y=306.....(2).

so, Equation 1: 55x+20y=200

 

Equation 2: 72x+36y=306

now, we are going to solve both equations.

after solving you will find x=2 and y=4.5

Hence, we can say that the cost of child ticket is $2, and the cost of adult ticket is $4.50.

Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (–1.75, 14.5) and (–1, 4.4). Round to the nearest hundredth if
Feliz [49]

For this case we have that by definition, the slope of a line is given by:

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

Two points are needed through which the line passes:

(x_ {1}, y_ {1}): (- 1.75; 14.5)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}}: (- 1; 4.4)

Substituting:m = \frac {4.4-14.5} {- 1 - (- 1.75)}\\m = \frac {-10.1} {0.75}\\m = -13.46666666

Rounding:

m = -13.47

Answer:

m = -13.47

Use the matrix tool to solve the system of equations. Choose the correct ordered pair.3x + 5y = 42 6x + 5y = 54
kobusy [5.1K]
Solutions  

In Matrix we use initially based on systems of linear equations.The matrix method is similar to the method of Elimination as but is a lot cleaner than the elimination method.Solving systems of equations by Matrix Method involves expressing the system of equations in form of a matrix and then reducing that matrix into what is known as Row Echelon Form.<span> 

Calculations 

</span>⇒ <span>Rewrite the linear equations above as a matrix
