Answer:

The coordinates are A(-1,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

M=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})

In this problem we have

M(2,6)\\A(x_1,y_1)

B(x_2,y_2) ---> B(5,10)

substitute the given values

(2,6)=(\frac{x_1+5}{2},\frac{y_1+10}{2})

Solve for x_1

2=(x_1+5)/2\\4=x_1+5\\x_1=4-5=-1

Solve for y_1

6=(y_1+10)/2\\12=y_1+10\\y_1=12-10=2

therefore

The coordinates are A(-1,2)

Explain how to use the missing pieces strategy to compare two fractions. Include a diagram with your explanation.
kozerog [31]
The missing pieces strategy is another method to compare two fractions. To tell which number is larger, you need to see which one is missing less. For example, you have 3/4 versus 4/5. Each of these fractions needs 1 to complete the whole. You need to subtract the numerator with one to compare them. For 3/4 we have 1/4 and for 4/5 we have 1/5. You know that if you complete 4/5 you will get 4. You know that 5 is greater than four. Therefore, 4/5 is larger than 3/4.

At the neighborhood grocery, 4.5 pounds of chicken breast cost $53.28. Benjamin
otez555 [7]
If my math is correct this should be a simple equation. First you’d start off by figuring out how much money chicken costs per one pound.
53.28 / 4.5 = $11.84 per pound
Now take how much money the chicken costs per pound and divide it by how much Benjamin spent.
59.20 / 11.84 = 5 pounds
Your answer should be exactly 5 pounds
I apologize if this is incorrect math, but the equation seems simple at first glance.

fgiga [73]

Answer:

  33

Step-by-step explanation:

3 years ago, the difference in ages was twice Daniel's age. So, Daniel was 20/2 = 10 years old at that time. Ben was 30.

Now, Ben is 33.

_____

If two numbers have a ratio of 3:1, their difference is (3-1) = 2 times the smaller number.
