A gardener has 10 pounds of soil. Now he 5/8 of that soil for his garden. Let's solve how many pounds of soil did he used and how many pounds is left.
=> 5/8
=> 10 lbs / 8 = 1.25 lbs
=> 1.25 lbs * 5 = 6.25 lbs.
He used 6.25 lbs of soil for his garden and has 3.75 lbs of soil left.
6*12 = 72ft²
The area of the trampoline is 72ft²
Hope this helps! :)
Let the value of the vehicle be described by the equation
V = a + bx
where x = number of years since purchase
a,b are constants.
When x = 0, V = $7500. Therefore
a + b*0 = 7500
a = 7500
When x = 7, V = $500. Therefore
7500 + 7b = 500
7b = 500 -7500 = -7000
b = -7000/7 = -1000
The equation is
V = 7500 - 1000x
The slope of this equation is the depreciation rate, and it is -$1000 per year.
Answer: $1000 depreciation per year.
3/4 changed to 6/8 makes it a 7/8 when adding making this most simplified into 7/8
I believe its 80 if you derive it out, but there is no units of measurement.
