If the amount of monkeys is m, lions is a, and lizards is b, then a+b+m=151, 17+a=m (since there are 17 more monkeys than lions), and 30+a=b. Substituting those values in (17+a=m and 30+a=b), we have 30+17+a+a+a=151=47+3a. Subtracting 47 from both sides, we get 104=3a. Next, we can divide both sides by 3 to get 104/3=a (the number of lions), 104/3+17=the number of monkeys, and 104/3+30=the number of lizards. Somehow we end up with a fraction (not a whole number), so there are 2/3rds of monkeys floating around using this logic.

Henry and reiko both used 1 yard of ribbon to make bows. write two different fractions to show that Henry and reiko use the same
Natalka [10]
To show that they used the same amount of ribbon you could take the 1 yard and divided into different sized equal groups.

1 yard divided by four equals 1/4 yard for each of four ribbons.

1 yard divided by six equals 1/6 yard for each of six ribbons.

You could have ribbons the size of 1/4 our yard and 1/6 yard, but you would have different amounts of each.

Choose the equation of the vertical line passing through the point 1,-1
natka813 [3]
A vertical line has the equation of x = a 

If the vertical line goes through a certain point, as in this case, then the y value is irrelevant. It can be anything. It is the x value that is the one you need to use. 

So the answer is x = 1. This equation has no slope that is defined.
