The correct answer is C 126 miles
4×2=8. 100×2=200
8% out of 200
so
4=8 if you have double, 200
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
in y = mx + b form, the slope is in the m position and the y intercept is in the b position.
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 5/7
y int (b) = -3
y = 5/7x - 3 <===
Let's call 'it' x. 1/2 is equal to one third of x, so we could say that 1/3x = 1/2
Now we just have a simple equation to solve:
1/3x = 1/2
x = (1/2) / (1/3)
Dividing by a rational number (such as 1/3, which is expressed in fraction form) is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal (the reciprocal of a fraction is itself when the numerator and denominator have been swapped). Therefore
x = (1/2) / (1/3) = (1/2) * 3 = 3/2 = 1.5
To check this answer, test the statement. Half is a third of x, where x=1.5:
1.5 / 3 = 0.5 = 1/2
