Answer:

A number line from 1/8 to 8/8 (or 1) shows that 5/8 is greater than 3/8 since when plotted, 5/8 is closer to the right end of the number line closer to 8/8 (or 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation of a line that is perpendicular to y=2x-3 and has a y intercept of 10
AnnyKZ [126]
The slope of a line that is perpendicular to another line is the negative reciprocal of the other.

In this case, we know that the slope of the given equation is 2.

Since we're solving for a line perpendicular to it, we simply find the reciprocal of the 2 (It turns into 1/2) and make it negative.

y = -1/2x + b

Since the given states that the new y-intercept is 10, input it into 'b'.

y = -1/2x + 10


If you'd like me to explain anything I did here, just ask :)

Write the function that shows a translation of f(x) two units to the left.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the base formula is y = x^2

You want to go two units left.

basically that is y = (x + 2)^2 just the opposite of what you might think it should be.

Where does the base function have a minimum? It's minimum is as x = 0 and y = 0

Where does y = (x + 2)^2 have it's minimum?

(-2,0)

conclusion. The base function has moved 2 units to the left.

Aubrey has a Shelf full of books exactly one third of books on the Shelf are Mysteries. Aubrey has read 10 of the mysteries on t
CaHeK987 [17]
The correct answer for this question is this one: "<span>147"</span>

Here's how to solve this problem.

Let  <span>x = number of mystery books on the shelf </span>
<span>Let 3x = total number of books on the shelf </span>

<span>we are told that </span>
<span>x/5<10<x/4 </span>
<span>multiply by 20, </span>
<span>4x<200<5x </span>
<span>which means that </span>
<span>40<x<50 </span>
<span>So the number of mystery books can be any number between 41 and 49.
In other words, the possible total number of books could be three times the above numbers, 123, 126, 129,.... </span>
Choose the one that suits your answer choices.

Here are the following choices:
Which could be the number of books on the shelf? 
A. 120 B 140 c 147 D 150

Jim read 24 pages in 40 minutes on Tuesday and 18 pages in 24 minutes on Wednesday. Are the ratios of pages read to minutes on T
IRISSAK [1]

Answer: Not proportional


Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of pages read by Jim on Tuesday to minutes =\frac{24}{40}=\frac{3}{5}=3:5

Ratio of pages read by Jim on Wednesday to minutes =\frac{18}{24}=\frac{3}{4}=3:4

But \frac{3}{5}\neq \frac{3}{4}

Therefore, the ratios of pages read to minutes on Tuesday and Wednesday are not proportional.
