So here is what we know
75 students are in the band
45 play woodwinds
Now let me make an expression(I use this usually)
part/whole=%/100
So we know the part is 45 and the whole is 75, and we don't know the %
So let us substitute those values...
45/75=%/100
Lets simplify 45/75
45/75 divided by 15/15= 3/5
So lets get back to our expression
3/5=%/100
5 x 20 is 100 so 3 x 20 is 60
So 60% of the students is the correct answer

Answer:

B. Food market

Step-by-step explanation:

You typically buy all of your groceries at Grocery Mart. This week, your favorite cereal is on sale there, 4 boxes for $10. At Food Market, where you don’t typically shop, the same cereal is on sale for $2.25 a box. Based on price, which is the better value option?

A.Grocery Mart

B. Food Market

Grocery market:

4 boxes for $10

Unit price = cost / quantity

= $10 / 4 boxes

= $2.50 per box

Food market:

Price per box = $2.25

The better value option based on price is food market because it cost less to buy a box of cereal than grocery mart

Answer:

2 10/16 or 2 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

You can add the whole numbers first, so 1+1=2

Now add the remaining fractions: 5/16 +5/16=10/16.

2+10/16=2 10/16 or 2 5/8.

Answer:

1st pic answer:

Slope= -3

Parallel slope= -3

Perpendicular slope = 1/3

2nd pic answers:

1 and 2 are parallel

1 and 3 are perpendicular

2 and 3 are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope in your first equation (6x+2y=1) you need to get y alone so that your equation will be in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b).

6x+2y=1 Start by subtracting the 6x over to the other side.

-6x -6x

2y= -6x+1 Next divide by 2 to get y completely alone.

$\frac{2y}{2} =\frac{-6x}{2}+\frac{1}{2}$

y= -3x+1/2

So to answer the first part your slope is -3. Parallel slope would be the same as your regular slope. Perpendicular would be the opposite, so that means you have to flip it and change the sign.

-3 flipped is -1/3

if you change the sign it becomes positive giving you 1/3

Part 2

Your first step would be to get all the equations into the slope-intercept form (y=mx+b). The second one is already in the form so we only need to change 1 and 3.

3y=5x+2 To get y alone you need to divide everything by 3.

$\frac{3y}{3}=\frac{5x}{3} +\frac{2}{3}$

y=5/3x+2/3 Before we work on equation 3 we can go ahead and compare equations 1 and 2.

1: y= $\frac{5x}{3} +\frac{2}{3}$

2: y= $\frac{5x}{3} +7$ Since 1 and 2 have the same slope they would be parallel.

Now to change equation 3.

6x+10y=8 Start by subtracting the 6x over to the other side.

-6x -6x

10y=-6x+8 Now divide everything by 10 to get y alone.

$\frac{10y}{10}=\frac{-6x}{10} +\frac{8}{10}$

y=-6x/10+8/10 Now we need to simplify the fractions using common factors. I'm going to use 2 for both equations, so you take -6 and 10 both divided by 2, which gives you -3 and 5(-3x/5). Now do the same with the other fraction. 8 and 10 divided by 2 gives us 4 and 5 (4/5)

3: y= $\frac{-3x}{5}+\frac{4}{5}$
