Answer:

2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the number of slices to be eaten by a man who has restrictions on his diet.

Firstly, as we can see, he bought 3 which weighs a total of 1/3 pounds. The weight of one of this would be 1/3 divided by 3 = 1/9 pounds

Now to stay true to his weight by not exceeding 1/4, we need to know how many of the 1/9 can he eat. To solve this, we directly divide 1/9 by 1/4 = 1/4 divided by 1/9 = 2.25

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of slices bought by the mam on a diet = 3

The 3 slices bought weighs 1/3

pound

Suggested quantity/amount of food is 1/4

To kmow the number of slices bought to be eaten will be

3x = 1/3

X = 1/9

So the number of slices to be ingested will the be:

1x/9 = 1/4

X= 9/4(or 2 1/4)

NB: the amount of slices to be ingested so as not to exceed 1/4 pound will be under 2 1/4 slices.

Therefoe,he can have 2 whole slices and then take 1/4 of the last slice

Relationship A has a lesser rate than Relationship B. This table represents Relationship B.
Alja [10]

Answer:

y = 18.1x ; and y = 18x

Explanation:

The rate of change in Relationship B can be found by using the formula for slope:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Using the first two points, we have

m=\frac{73-36.50}{4-2}=\frac{36.50}{2}=18.25

We know that Relationship A has a lesser rate than this.  The choices given for Relationship A are written in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (in this case b = 0).

The slope of the first equation is 18.1; this is less than 18.25.

The slope of the second equation is 18.6; this is greater than 18.25.

The slope of the third equation is 18.3; this is greater than 18.25.

The slope of the fourth equation is 18; this is less than 18.25.

-3-3p=8p-36

+36 +3p | +3p +36

Simplifies to

33=11p

divide both side by 11

3=p thus p=3

Which is the equation of a parabola with focus (0, 5) and directrix y= -5?
Alja [10]
As the focus is at (0,5) it will be symmetrical about the y axis and will open upwards

General formula is x^2 = 4ay  where a is  the y coordinate of the focus

So its y = x^2/5*4

 y = 1/20 x^2
