The way I figured this one out was saying that if it takes 2lbs to stretch it to 12 inches and 5lbs to stretch to 18 inches that means that 3 additional pounds = 6 inches. Therefore, each additional pound is 2 inches. We know already that with 2 lbs it was 12 inches in length and we can also say that 2 lbs = 4 inches. So subtract 4 from 12 and you end up with the answer of 8 inches.
Answer:
x=12
Step-by-step explanation:
since they are similar triangle .Use these ratios
9/6=x+9/14
do cross multiplication
6(x+9)=14*9
6x+54=126
6x=126-54
x=72/6
x=12
Answer:
a) the slope is 2/-1 or just -2
b) the slope is 1/1 or just 1
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find slope (rise/run) by picking a point on the graph. For example on question a I chose the point (-2, 1) i then counted how far my run was, which is 2, and my rise (or how far down it went) was -1. Therefore my slope was 2/-1 or just -2.
Answer:
fraction of the games did the team win is = 
Katy play game = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
given data
baseball team played = 32 games
lost = 8
Katy catcher = 5/8 of winning
Katy catcher = 1/4 of losing
to find out
What fraction of the games did the team win and how many games did Katy play
solution
we know total game = 32 and lost 8
so win is total - lost = 32 - 8 = 24
so
fraction of the games did the team win is = 
fraction of the games did the team win is =
and
so total game 24 winning is 
so katy winning is 
katy winning = 3 × 5 = 15
and
losing 
total lose game 8
so Katy lose = 8 × = 2
so
Katy play game = 15 + 2 = 17
