Break fast =  1/4
Tea time =  3/5
Still 18 left.

Fraction left =  1 - (1/4 + 3/5) = 

1/4 + 3/5 =  (1/4)*(5/5) + (3/5)*(4/4) = 5/20 + 12/20 = (5 + 12)/ 20

 = 17/20

Fraction left =  1 - (1/4 + 3/5) =  1 - 17/20 = (20 - 17)/20 = 3/20

Fraction left = 3/20

Assuming total number of cookies in the package is x.

(3/20)x = 18

3x/20 = 18

3x = 18*20

x = 18*20/3 = 120

There were 120 cookies in the package.

Ok so
1/4 of total eaten
3/4 left
3/5 of 3/4 eaten
9/20 left
18=9/20 of whole
multiply both sides by 20
360=9 of whole
divide both sides by 9
40=whole


40 total originlly

Step-by-step explanation:

|actual temp - estimate| = |50 - 45| = |5| = 5

5/50 = 0.1

0.1 × 100 = 10

Need help with two questions!!
eimsori [14]

Couple things to note:

  1. Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
  2. Slope can be calculated using any two points on a line and the formula y₁ - y₂ / x₁ - x₂.

For the first problem, we know the slope of Function A is 6 (refer to slope-intercept form above). To compare the slopes of Function A and Function B, first find the slope of Function B.

Use y₁ - y₂ / x₁ - x₂. Two points on the line are (0, 1) and (-1, -2). Plug these into the formula accordingly and solve for slope.

y₁ - y₂ / x₁ - x₂

1 - (-2) / 0 - (-1)

1 + 2 / 0 + 1

3 / 1

3

The slope of Function B is 3. This is half of 6 (the slope of Function A), so the correct answer to question 1 is the first option: Slope of Function B = 2 × Slope of Function A.

For the second problem, substitute m and b in y = mx + b according to the graph. b is the y-intercept (the point at which the line intersects the y-axis); it is (0, -4), or -4. This gives us

y = mx - 4

We must now find m. Follow the same steps above to find slope. Our two points are (-2, 0) and (0, -4).

y₁ - y₂ / x₁ - x₂

0 - (-4) / -2 - 0

0 + 4 / -2

4 / -2

-2

Substitute.

y = -2x - 4

The first option is the correct answer.
