It would be: 2 / 5/8
We can re-write it as: 2 * 8/5 = 16/5
So, your final is 16/5 or 3.2
Hope this helps!
If you divide 20 acres into 1/4 sections you'll get
20 ÷ 1/4 sections. When you divide fractions, you just multiply the reciprocal.
20 ÷ 1/4 =
20 × 4/1 = 80 sections
The x - intercept of 5x - 3y = 15 is (3, 0)
The y -intercept of 5x - 3y = 15 is (0, -5)
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Given equation is 5x - 3y = 15
<em><u>To find: x - intercept and y -intercept</u></em>
The x intercept is the point where the line crosses the x axis. At this point y = 0
The y intercept is the point where the line crosses the y axis. At this point x = 0.
<em><u>Finding x - intercept:</u></em>
To find the x intercept using the equation of the line, plug in 0 for the y variable and solve for x
So put y = 0 in given equation
5x - 3(0) = 15
5x = 15
x = 3
So the x - intercept is (3, 0)
<em><u>Finding y - intercept:</u></em>
To find the y intercept using the equation of the line, plug in 0 for the x variable and solve for y
So put x = 0 in given equation
5(0) - 3y = 15
-3y = 15
y = -5
So the y - intercept is (0, -5)
The answer is positive 1/5. Here is a tip, when reading a graph read from left to right. If it is going up to the right it is positive. If it goes down going to the right it is negative. Also think rise/run. Count how many times it goes up(or down) then count how long the line goes.
