This load will weigh 1.5 TONS ALTOGETHER.

So, the truck is delivering a \frac{7}{8} ton of cement blocks, and a \frac{5}{8} of bricks. To find how much this load weighs, we'd have to add the two fractions together, which proves to be quite easy, because the denominators are already the same, so we wouldn't have to change anything.

\frac{7}{8} + \frac{5}{8} = \frac{12}{8}

And now, we would want to convert that fraction into a whole number, or at least a decimal, to find how many tons the truck is carrying. So we would divide. Once the work is done, here is what would happen:

12 ÷ 8 = 1.5

And there's your answer. The truck is carrying 1.5 TONS.

How does the order of operations relate to solving multi-step equations? Use examples of solving an equation, and then evaluatin
givi [52]
The order of operations helps keep answers for multi-step equations similar. If the proper order of operations are not followed, then answers may vary. To show an example:

4 / 2 - 1

The proper order of operations would be:

Divide first, before subtracting
4 / 2 - 1
2 - 1
1

But if subtracting was done before dividing:

4 / 2 - 1
4 / 1
4

So not following the proper order would yield different and erroneous answers.

Find the slope and reduce of p=(3/4,1 1/4) q=(-1/2,-1)
sergij07 [2.7K]
\bf \begin{array}{lllll}

p&({{ \frac{3}{4}}}\quad ,&{{ \frac{1}{4}}})\quad

q&({{ -\frac{1}{2}}}\quad ,&{{ -1}})
\end{array}

\bf slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{-1-\frac{1}{4}}{-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{3}{4}}\quad \cfrac{\leftarrow LCD=4}{\leftarrow LCD=4}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{\frac{-4-1}{4}}{\frac{-2\cdot 1-3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{-5}{4}}{\frac{-5}{4}}\implies \cfrac{-5}{4}\cdot \cfrac{4}{-5}\implies 1

Mary is spending money at the average rate of $5 per day. After 14 days she has $68 left. The amount left depends on the number
Radda [10]

Answer:

A. Y-68=-5(x-14)

Step-by-step explanation:

Mary is spending money at the average rate of $5 per day. After 14 days she has $68 left. The amount left depends on the number of days that have passed. write an equation for the situation

We find the equation using the point slope equation of a line. This is given as:

y - y1 = m(x-x1)

The slope intercept form will be

y = -5x + b

since the amount decreases by $5 per day...

Our slope is -5 so m=-5

We have a point (x1,y1) = (14, 68)

Hence, we have:

y-68 = -5(x-14)

Option A is correct
