Hello there!
We have the following equation:
c + p = 15 (c = carrots, p = potatoes)
Previously, we had this equation:
2 + 4 = 6.
2 is 1/3 of 6, and 4 is 2/3 of 6. The sum of these two fractions make a whole.

Let's apply this rule to 15 servings.
Since we are looking for thirds, divide 15 by 3 to solve for 1/3, or "p".
15 / 3 = 5
We have 5 potatoes.

Now, we must remember that the amount of carrots is twice the amount of potatoes.
Divide 15 by 3, then multiply that quotient by 2.
15 / 3 = 5
5 * 2 = 10

We have 10 carrots.


Your final answer is:
Winston will need 5 potatoes and 10 carrots.

I hope this helps!

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (- 1, 5) and is parallel to the line y = - 3x + 5
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

<h2>          y - 5 = -3(x + 1)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines has the same slope.

The equation of a line that passing through point (x₁, y₁) with a slope of m is:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

m = -3

(-1, 5)   ⇒  x₁ = -1,  y₁ = 5

Therefore the equation:

y - 5 = -3(x + 1)

Fed [463]

Answer:

when x = -1,  y = -3

when x = -1,  y = -1

when x = -1,  y = 1

when x = -1,  y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x = -1;  plug in y = 2(-1) - 1 = -2 - 1 = -3

x = 0;  plug in y = 2(0) - 1 = 0 - 1 = -1

x = 1;  plug in y = 2(1) - 1 = 2 - 1 = 1

x = 2;  plug in y = 2(2) - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3

Nine out of ten students prefer math class over lunch. How many students do not prefer math if 200 students were asked?
fredd [130]
So, 9 out of 10 students prefer class, so, obviously, it would not be 100. It would be 150. So in conclusion, 50 students prefer lunch over math class, whilst 150 other students prefer math class over lunch.

Help pls I no it’s simple but I don’t understand pls look at the pictures or image pls pls number 1 pls
NeTakaya

Answer: The answer would be No, Yes, No.

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the grid, you can see that it has 100 units in all.

0.42 equals 21/50, so they are both wrong. The denominator would have to be 100. The only logical one would be the second one.
