If Jim missed 6 out of 16 free throws, then he made 10/16 free throws. At the same time Gracia made 4/15 free rows. The common denominator of those fractions (if we simplify 10/16 to 5/8) is 120, so:

Garcia made 4/15 = 32/120 free throws
Jim made 5/8 = 75/120 free throws

We can clearly see that Jim was more than two times better than Garcia.

Write an equation perpendicular to x-3y=3 passes through (5,-9)
kherson [118]
3y=x-3
y=1/3x-1
Perpendicular slope: -3
y=-3x+b
Plug in the coordinates in the equation:
-9=-3(5)+b
-9=-15+b
4=b
Equation: y=-3x+4
Also, when finding the perpendicular slope you take the reciprocal of the original slope and make it negative if it is positive and make it positive if it’s negative.

Find FG<br> FGH= 49<br> GH=31
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

<h3>18</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given diagram;

FGH = 49

GH = 31

Using the expression to get FG;

FG + GH = FGH

FG + 31 = 49

FG = 49-31

FG = 18

Hence the measure of FG is 18

What is the remainder when 599 is divided by 9?
Schach [20]
599=540+59=540+54+5=60(9)+6(9)+5
\implies\dfrac{599}9=66+\dfrac59

so the remainder is 5.

Convince me why points B&amp;C are solutions to this system of linear inequalities.
muminat
The coordinates of B and C are solutions to the system of inequalities because both are true to the two inequalities. A is not a solution to the system of inequalities because it is only true to “y is less than or equal to 2x”.
