A pitcher struck out 11 out of 40 batters. Write an equivalent decimal.

Komok [63]

Answer:

0.275

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write 11 out of 40 batters as a decimal.

We can write 11 out of 40 as a fraction to get:

$\frac{11}{40}$

Note that:

$\frac{11}{40} = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{11}{10}$

This implies that:

$\frac{11}{40} = 0.25 \times 1.1$

This gives us

$\frac{11}{40 } = 0.275$

Which equation best represents the relationship between x and y in the graph? (PLEASE ANSWER I BEG YOU :( PLSSSSS)

USPshnik [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

We observe the line graph.

For every 1 block across, the line goes up by 2 blocks. Therefore Slope = Rise/Run = (2)/(1) = 2.

Also, the y-intercept when x = 0 is 2.

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + c

Hence we have y = 2x + 2. (C)
