Hello There!

To divide fractions, all you have to do is leave the first fraction alone in the equation but multiply by the reciprocal in the second fraction. This means "Flipped Number" so you flip the numerator and denominator in the second fraction and multiply across then simplify if you need to.

To divide fractions, firstly, you need to turn the 2nd fraction upside down. For example, 3/8 divided by 3/4 would be 3/8 divided by 4/3. After you have flipped the second fraction, you multiply them - 3*4 = 12. 8*3 = 24 so the answer would be 12/24. Which then could be cancelled down to 1/2. I hope this makes sense!!

Jersey village population in 1950 was 10,173. The population increases by 8.9% every 10 years. Predict the population in 2020

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Future Value= 18,478 people

Step-by-step explanation:

eGiving the following information:

Present value (PV)= 10,173

Growth rate (g)= 0.089 every 10 years

Number of periods (n)= 7

To calculate the population in 2020, we need to use the following formula:

FV= PV*(1 + g)^n

FV= 10,173*(1.089^7)

FV= 18,478 people

A scatter plot is shown below: A graph shows numbers from 0 to 10 on the x axis at increments of 1 and the numbers 0 to 15 on th

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

B (0, 14) and (10, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A: (0, 14) and (10, 14)

Equation of line using two point slope form .

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

$(x_1,y_1)=(0,14)$

$(x_2,y_2)=(10,14)$

Substitute values in formula :

$y-14=\frac{14-14}{`10-0}(x-0)$

$y-14=0(x-0)$

$y=14$

Option B : (0, 14) and (10, 1)

Equation of line using two point slope form .

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

$(x_1,y_1)=(0,14)$

$(x_2,y_2)=(10,1)$

Substitute values in formula :

$y-14=\frac{1-14}{`10-0}(x-0)$

$y-14=\frac{-13}{10}(x-0)$

$y=\frac{-13}{10}x+14$

Option C: (0, 7) and (7, 0)

Equation of line using two point slope form .

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

$(x_1,y_1)=(0,7)$

$(x_2,y_2)=(7,0)$

Substitute values in formula :

$y-7=\frac{0-7}{`7-0}(x-0)$

$y-7=\frac{-7}{7}(x)$

$y= -x+7$

Option D: (0, 7) and (3, 0)

Equation of line using two point slope form .

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

$(x_1,y_1)=(0,7)$

$(x_2,y_2)=(3,0)$

Substitute values in formula :

$y-7=\frac{0-7}{`3-0}(x-0)$

$y-7=\frac{-7}{3}(x)$

$y=\frac{-7}{3}(x)+7$

Now after plotting all the lines of given options on the graph of scatter plot we can see that the blue line $y=\frac{-13}{10}x+14$ of Option B the is the line of best fit for this scatter plot Since it is covering almost all ordered pairs of scatter plot.

Hence two ordered pairs can be joined to best draw the line of best fit for this scatter plot are (0, 14) and (10, 1)

Option B is correct.
