To answer this, you will determine what fraction of the original rocks are silver by using the information about the other two colors.

If 2/3 of them area purple, than 1/3 are not.

If 3/4 of the remaining 1/3 is blue, than 3/4 x 1/3 = 3/12 of then are blue.

2/3 are purple, 3/12 of them are blue, the remaining is silver,

1 - 2/3 - 3/12
1 - 8/12 - 3/12 = 1/12

1/12 of the rocks are silver. If 3 are silver, write an equation that needs solved.

1/12r = 3
r = 36 rocks

There were 36 space rocks in total.

Answer:

The number of soldiers that call out a number 3 is 666 soldiers

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

Number of soldiers = 2000

Soldiers calling from the left = 1, 2, 3,.....

Soldiers calling from the right = 1, 2, 3,.....

Therefore, since the number soldiers calling out the number 3 are 1 in 3 from the left and 1 in 3 from the right, we split the soldiers into 2 groups of 1000, with one group calling from left and the other group calling from the right;

The number of 3s in called out in the first group from the left is therefore;

1000/3 = 333.33 which is 333 soldiers or from the 3rd soldier to the 999th soldier

Similarly the number of 3s called out from the second group = 333

Hence the total number of soldiers that call out a number 3 = 333 + 333 = 666 soldiers.

Answer:

$\text{Average rate}=\frac{\text{40 laps}}{\text{ hour}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Please consider the complete question.

Sebastian swan laps every day in the community swimming pool. He swam 45 minutes each day, 5 days each week, for 12 weeks. In that time, he swam 1800 laps. What was his average rate in laps per hour?

Let us convert time taken into hours as:

$\text{Days}=5\times 12=60$

$\text{Minutes}=60\times 45$

1 hour = 60 minutes. To convert minutes into hours, we will divide total minutes by 60.

$\text{Hours}=\frac{60\times 45}{60}=45$

Now, we will divide 1800 by 45 to find average rate in laps per hour as:

$\text{Average rate}=\frac{\text{1800 laps}}{\text{45 hours}}$

$\text{Average rate}=\frac{\text{40 laps}}{\text{ hour}}$

Therefore, Sebastian's average rate is 40 laps per hour.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-2 1) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 4x-2y=8 ?

monitta

4x-2y=8 ==> y=2x-4 (to better show you what I mean)

2 lines are parallel if they have the same slope (m the coefficient of x).

So y=mx + b // y =2x-4 means m=2 & y=mx + b, becomes y=2x + b.
Moreover they are telling us that this function passes by (-2,1), where -2 represents x & 1, represents y. To calculate b , replace x & y by their values:
y=2x+b ==> 1 = 2(- 2) + b==> 1 = -4 + b ==> b= 5. Finally the equation is
y=-2x+5
