Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
(-2-(-1))/(-4-(-2))=1/2
Whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.
let's say we'll add "x" cups of pure vinegar, pure vinegar meaning is 100% vinegar.
how much vinegar is there in "x" cups of 100% vinegar? well (100/100) * x, or just "x".
how much vinegar is there in 10 cups of 10% vinegar? well, (10/100) * 10, or just 1.
say after adding the "x" cups to the 10 cups, we end up with "y" cups, of 50% of vinegar.
how much is 50% of y? well, (50/100) * y or 0.5y.
bearing in mind that x+10 = y, both cups amounts added up, and that x+1=0.5y, both vinegar amounts added up, thus
Answer:
3x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
13/4
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope we use the equation
m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (85-20)/(20-0)
= 65/20
= 13/4
Answer: 315 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
let onward speed = x mph, then distance = 7x
return speed = (x+18) mph, (same) distance = 5(x+18)
equating the two,
7x = 5(x+18)
2x = 90 ==> x = 45 mph
so distance = 7*45 = 315 miles
