3/8

A fraction is a mathematical symbol to represent part of a whole. There are 8 tulips, which is the whole. 3 is the part. So it is 3/8. Hope this helps! :)

To make fruit punch for a party, we need 4 1⁄2 gallons of ginger ale, 1 gallon of strawberry juice, 2 3⁄4 gallons of frozen oran

lina2011 [118]

For this case we convert the mixed numbers to fractions:

$4 \frac {1} {2} = \frac {2 * 4 + 1} {2} = \frac {9} {2}\\2 \frac {3} {4} = \frac {4 * 2 + 3} {4} = \frac {11} {4}$

Now we add the fractions:

$\frac{9} {2}+1+ \frac {11} {4} + \frac {1} {8} =$

We find the least common multiple of the denominators. The l.c.m is 8, then we divide by each denominator and multiply the result by each numerator.

$\frac {36 + 8 + 22 + 1} {8} =\\\frac {67} {8} =$

8,375

Thus, the punch recipe implies 8.375 gallons. If we convert to a mixed number we have:

$8 \frac {3} {8}$ gallons

Answer:

$8 \frac {3} {8}$ gallons

A given line has the equation 2x + 12y = −1. What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is perpendicular to

VikaD [51]

Answer:

y = 6x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- interceot form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 2x + 12y = - 1 into this form

Subtract 2x from both sides

12y = - 2x - 1 ( divide all terms by 12 )

y = - $\frac{1}{6}$ x - $\frac{1}{12}$ ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - $\frac{1}{6}$

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{-\frac{1}{6} }$ = 6

Note the line passes through (0, 9) on the y- axis ⇒ c = 9

y = 6x + 9 ← equation of perpendicular line

Which of the following represents the coordinates of point A?

KiRa [710]

The coordinates of A will be (2P +M)/3
= (2(16, 14) +(1, 4))/3 = (33/3, 32/3) = (11, 32/3)

The appropriate choice is
(C) (11, 32/3)

_____
You will note that the coordinates of A are the weighted average of the coordinates of the end points. The weighting is the reverse of the ratio of the line segments. That is, the point adjacent to the shortest segment gets the highest weighting. (This is typical of the solution to "mixture" problems.)
