Answer:

1.975 pints of white paint

Step-by-step explanation:

Let blue paint represents by 'b' and white paint represents by 'w'.

Then according to the question

b + w = 7.9 pints .......(1)

Amount of blue paint = \frac{3}{4} of the total amount

                                   = \frac{3}{4}\times 7.9

                                   = 5.925 pints

Hence the amount of blue paint is 5.925 pints.

Now putting the value of 'b' in equation (1)

5.925 + w = 7.9

w = 7.9 - 5.925

w = 1.975 pints

Cathy used 1.975 pints of white paint to paint her bedroom.

When y = 35,x = 2.5. If the value of y varies directly with x what is the value of y when the value of xis 3.25
leonid [27]

Answer:

The value of y would be 45.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, start with the base form of direct variation.

y = kx

Now we can use our original values to model the equation and find k.

35 = k(2.5)

14 = k

Now we can model the equation as:

y = 14x

Now to find y, when x = 3.25, simply put 3.25 into the equation.

y = 14(3.25)

y = 45.5

-1/4x+2y=28 find the x and y intercept
Advocard [28]
The y intercept is (0, 14) and the x intercept is (-112,0) all you have to do is just make y zero if you are trying to solve for x and the same for the x if you are trying to solve for y.

Jack drove to work in the morning at an average speed of 45 miles per hour. He returned home in the evening along the same route
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the time it took him to get to work in the morning is  t hours. Then the time it took him to get home in the afternoon must be 1 - t hours. We know that for any trip, distance equals rate times time or d = rt . That means that the distance he drove to work is given by , but we also know that the distance he drove to get home must be the same distance, because he took the same route (and, presumably, no one picked up him house and moved it while he was at work) so for the trip home we can say  d = 30 × (1 - t) and since the distances are equal, we can say: 

45t = 30 × (1 - t)

45t = 30 - 30t

45t + 30t = 30

75t = 30

t = 30/75

t = 2 /5 hour to drive to work at 45mph

Since ,  d = rt

d = 45 ×(2/5) = 18miles
