What equation represents the line that passes through the points(6,-3) and (-4,-9)?

Beulah used 3/5 pounds of dough, 3/4 pound of sugar, & 2/3 pounds of sprinkles to make donuts. How many pounds of donuts did

andre [41]

Number of pounds of dough used = 3/5 pounds.

Number of pounds of sugar used = 3/4 pounds

Number of pounds of sprinkles used = 2/3 pounds.

Total number of pounds of donuts = Number of pounds of dough used + Number of pounds of sugar used + Number of pounds of sprinkles used.

Plugging values.

Total number of pounds of donuts = 3/5 + 3/4 + 2/3.

We need to add all those fractions.

In order to add fracions, we need to find common denominator (lcd).

We have 5,4 and 3 in denominators.

Least common denominator(lcd) of 5, 4 and 3 is 60.

We need to make each denominator equals 60.

Multiplying first fracion by 12 in top and bottom, we get

3*12/5*12 = 36/60

Multiplying first fracion by 5 in top and bottom, we get

3*15/4*15 = 45/60

Multiplying first fracion by 20 in top and bottom, we get

2*20/3*20 = 40/60.

Therefore,

3/5 + 3/4 + 2/3 = 36/60 + 45/60 + 40/60

= 121/60

Let us convert 121/60 into mixed fraction.

Dividing 121 by 60 we get quotient =2 and remainder =1.

So, the mixed fraction is 2 1/60.

Therefore, Beulah made total 2 1/60 pounds of donuts.

A regular 18-sided polygon is rotated with the center of rotation at its center. What is the smallest degree of rotation needed

dem82 [27]

It will be easier to explain how to solve this question in a square. If you rotate 4-sided square from the centre, you need to rotate it 90 degrees. The formula for this would be: 360 ° /the side count. In a square, it would be 360° /4= 90°.

In 18-sided polygon, the calculation would be: 360°/ 18 side= 20°

Kendal bought x boxes of cookies to bring to a party. Each box contains 12 cookies. She decides to keep two boxes for herself. S

Georgia [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of boxes of cookies that Kendal bought to bring to the party is x.

Each box contains 12 cookies. This means that total number of cookies in x boxes would be

12 × x = 12x

She decides to keep two boxes for herself. This means that the total number of cookies that she kept for herself would be

12 × 2 = 24 cookies

She brings 60 cookies to the party.

The equation that can be used to find the number of boxes, x, Kendal bought would be

12x = 24 + 60

12x = 84

x = 84/12 = 7 boxes

98 POINTS! PLEASE HELP! I been stuck on this assignment for over 2 weeks. My teacher gave me a simple explanation when I asked f

Colt1911 [192]

See the attached picture.

Create an equation for the volume of the box, find the zeroes, and sketch the graph of the function.

The resulting box has a volume

$V(x)=x(8-x)(12-x)=x^3-20x^2+96x$

because the volume of a box is the product of its width $(12-x)$ , length $(8-x)$ , and height $(x)$ .

find the zeroes

You know right away from the factored form of $V(x)$ that the zeroes are $x=0,8,12$ . (zero product property)

sketch the graph of the function

Easy to plot by hand. You know the zeroes, and you can check the sign of $V(x)$ for any values of $x$ between these zeros to get an idea of what the graph of $V(x)$ looks like. See the second attached picture.

Here's what I mean by "check the sign" in case you don't follow. We know $V(x)=0$ when $x=0$ and $x=8$ . So we pick some value of $x$ between them, say $x=1$ , and find that

$V(1)=1(8-1)(12-1)=7\cdot11=77$

which is positive, so $V(x)$ will be positive for any other $x$ between 0 and 8. Similarly we would find that $V(x)$ for $x$ between 8 and 12, and so on.

What is the size of the cutout he needs to make so that he can fit the most marbles in the box?

It's impossible to answer this without knowing the volume of each marble...

If Thomas wants a volume of 12 cubic inches, what size does the cutout need to be?

Thomas wants $V(x)=12$ , so you solve

$x^3-20x^2+96x=12$

While this is possible to do by hand, the procedure is tedious (look up "solving the cubic equation"). With a calculator, you'd find three approximate solutions

$x\approx0.1284$
