Answer:
1355 pets
Step-by-step explanation:
576 pets - 111 pets = 465 pets
465 pets + 890 pets = 1355 pets
#1: 15%
#2: 1/10 = 10%
There are 6 girls who have blonde hair out of 40 students; 6/40 = 15%.
There are 4 boys that have black hair out of 40 students; 4/40 = 1/10 = 10%.
Any linear equation can be written as
y = mx+b
where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
m = 1/2 in this case. It represents the idea that the snow fell at a rate of 1/2 inch per hour. In other words, the snow level went up 1/2 an inch each time an hour passed by.
b = 8 is the y intercept. It's the starting amount of snow. We start off with 8 inches of snow already.
The info "snow fell for 9 hours" doesn't appear to be relevant here.
Answer: Both phrase A and phrase D translate to m - 7
