On Monday, Nora read ¼ of the book, therefore she is left with ¾ of the original book.

Then on Tuesday, she read 2/5 of what was left on Monday therefore she is left with 3/5 of ¾ of the original book. This is equal to:

(3/5) (3/4) = 9/20

<span>She still needs to read 9/20 of the book or 0.45 or 45% of the book.</span>

What is the point-slope form of a line with slope 3/2 that contains the point (-1 2)

Drupady [299]

Answer:

The point-slope form of this equation is y - 2 = 3/2(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer to any equation in point slope form, start with the base form of the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Now input the slope for m and the point at (x1, y1)

y - 2 = 3/2(x + 1)

Two cars traveled equal distances in different amounts of time. Car A traveled the distance in 2 h, and Car B traveled the dista

lidiya [134]

Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.

notice, the distance are the same, say it was "d" miles.

and if car A is travelling at a speed of say "r" mph, then B is going at "r+15" mph.

$\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\
&------&------&------\\
\textit{Car A}&d&r&2\\
\textit{Car B}&d&r+15&1.5
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
\boxed{d}=2r\\
d=1.5(r+15)\\
----------\\
\boxed{2r}=1.5(r+15)
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
2r=1.5r+22.5\implies 0.5r=22.5\implies r=\cfrac{22.5}{0.5}\implies \boxed{r=\stackrel{mph}{45}}$

how far is B going? well, r + 15.
