Let the # be n.

Then 8(1/n) = 4(1/6). Mult both sides by 6n to elim. the fractions:

6n(8) 6n(4)
------- = -------- => 48 = 4n, and so n = 12 (answer)
n 6

The standard golf ball has a mass of 45g.How many golf balls are there in a bag weighing 1.8 kg?

mars1129 [50]

Bag weight 1.8 kg
Golf ball weight: 45g

1 kg = 1000g
Total bag weight in grams = 1.8 x 1000 = 1800g
total bag weight / golf ball weight = total balls in bag
1800 / 45 = 40
Total balls in bag = 40.

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line whose equation is 3y=−4x+2 ?

vova2212 [387]

we know that

if two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is equal to minus one

so

$m1*m2=-1$

Step 1

<u>Find the slope of the given line</u>

we have

$3y=-4x+2$

Solve for y

Divide by $3$ both sides

$3y/3=(-4x+2)/3$

$y=-\frac{4}{3}x+ \frac{2}{3}$

the slope of the given line is $m1=-\frac{4}{3}$

Step 2

<u>Find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the given line</u>

we have

$m1=-\frac{4}{3}$

$m1*m2=-1$

$m2=-1/m1$

substitute the value of m1

$m2=-1/(-4/3)=\frac{3}{4}$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the slope is $\frac{3}{4}$

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

12x - 15 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Sunny earns $12 per hour for delivering cakes.

She worked for x hours this week.

Unfortunately, she was charged $15 for a late delivery on Tuesday

She was supposed to earn $12 × x = $12x this week

But she was charged $15 for late delivery on Tuesday

So her net earning this week is; $12x - $15
