Given:
Area of sample board: 1/3 square ft.
Weight of sample board: 1/5 lbs

We need to get the weight of the whole square foot.

1/3 square foot is only a part of the whole square foot. Its corresponding weight is 1/5 pounds. We need to divide the area by its corresponding weight to get the total weight per square foot.

1/3 ÷ 1/5 

Rules of dividing fractions:
1st fraction: 1/3 ; 2nd fraction: 1/5

1) Get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. 1/5 ⇒ 5/1

2) Multiply 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction
1/3 * 5/1 = 5/3

3) Simplify fraction.
5/3 is an improper fraction. To simplify it, it needs to become a mixed fraction.

5/3 = 1 2/3 pounds.

Answer:

I will create a five by four matrix to indicate the costs of the products.  The matrix will have five vertical columns and four horizontal rolls.  The vertical columns will show the product categories and the total costs for all the products and decorations.  The horizontal rolls will show the product costs, the decoration costs, and the total costs for each product category.

The size and shape of the matrix will be 5 by 4 with squared boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Products/Costs         Hats         Cards      Teddy    Total Costs

Product costs           $2.50       $0.90       $3.10        $6.50

Decoration costs      $1.50       $0.60        $1.70        $3.80

soldier1979 [14.2K]
Answer: <span>y - 37.5 = 2.5 ( x - 7)

Explanation:

1) The point-slope form is has this form:

 y - y1 = m (x - x1)

Where m is the slope or rate of change and x1, y1 are the coordinates of the point.

2) you are told that the the rate of change of water (m) is 2.5

m = 2.5

3) The point is given by that after 7 min the rain barrel contains 37.5 gallons. This is:

x1 = 7
y1 = 37.5

</span>4) Replace those value in the point-slope model:

y - 37.5 = 2.5 ( x - 7)

That is the point-slope model or equation.

How does 4 digit addends have a 5 digit sum
denpristay [2]
A 4 digit addends could have a 5 digit sum because of the rule of regrouping.
Regrouping is a situation where carrying and borrowing is involves. So let’s have an example

  8999
<span>+5678
</span>14677

so in this example, we added 8999 to 5678.
9+8 = 17, so we bring down 7 and carry 1
9 + 7 = 16 + 1 = 17 , so again we bring down 7 carry 1
9 + 6 = 15 + 1 = 16, bring down 6 carry 1
8+5 = 13 + 1 =14, since this is our last number, bring down 14..
=> 14, 677
