You can do this by converting this into a ratio or a fraction

Ratio:
1 lb for 4 guinea pigs
1:4
If he was 8 lbs for x guinea pigsit would be

1:4
8:x

Multiply the first ration until the one is equal to 8, then whatever the four turns into is x

Fraction: (easier way)

1/4 (1lb for 4 guinea pigs)
8/x (8lb for x guinea pigs)
1/4 = 8/x
Multiply one until it is equal to 8
Correspond that to the 4

1*8 = 8
4*8 = 32

32 guinea pigs

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question of ratio

Given that Jonas runs a pet store that sells guinea pigs. He wants to ensure he has more than 1 pound of dry food for every foge guinea pigs he has in the store

Current stock of dry food = 8 pounds

Since 1 pound dry food for every guinea bpig

we get for 8 pounds no of guinea pigs he can have 8(4/1) = 32

Customers can pick their own pumpkins at the great pumpkin patch. They pay 4$ to enter the patch and 3$ per pound for the pumpki
klasskru [66]

Given, Customers pay $4 to enter the pumpkin patch.

And also given, customers pay $3 per pound for the pumpkins.

Given, $y be the total cost and there are x pounds of pumpkins.

The cost for pumpkin per pound = $3.

Therefore, the cost for x pound pumpkins = $(3x)

As the total cost includes the payment for entering the patch also,

So the total cost y = 3x + 4

We have got the required equation.

The equation to model the total cost is y = 3x+4.

Find the slope of a line if the points (2,-1) and (5,3) are on the line
Romashka [77]

Answer:

\huge{ \boxed{ \sf{ \frac{4}{3} }}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\star{ \sf{ \: Let \: the \: points \: be \: A \: and \: B}}

\star{ \sf{ \: Let \: a(2,-1)  \: be \: (x1 \:, y1) \: and \: b (5,3)  \: be \: (x2 \:, y2)}}

\underline{ \sf{Finding \: the \: slope \: of \: the \: line}}

\boxed{ \sf{Slope =  \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} }}

\mapsto{ \sf{Slope =  \frac{3 - ( - 1)}{5 - 2} }}

\mapsto{ \sf{Slope =  \frac{3 + 1}{5 - 2}}}

\mapsto{ \sf{Slope =  \frac{4}{3} }}

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D

If the terminal side of angle θ passes through a point on the unit circle in the first quadrant where x=√2/2, what is the exact
Serhud [2]

The exact measure of the angle is 45°.

<h3>How to get the angle?</h3>

We know that the terminal side passes through a point of the form (√2/2, y).

Notice that the point is on the unit circle, so its module must be equal to 1, so we can write:

1 = \sqrt{( \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} )^2 + y^2} \\\\1^2 = \frac{2}{4} + y^2\\1 - 1/2 = y^2\\\\1/\sqrt{2} = y

We know that y is positive because the point is on the first quadrant.

Now, we know that our point is:

(√2/2, 1/√2)

And we can rewrite:

√2/2 = 1/√2

So the point is:

( 1/√2,  1/√2)

Finally, remember that a point (x, y), the angle that represents it is given by:

θ = Atan(y/x).

Then in this case, we have:

θ = Atan(1/√2/1/√2) = Atan(1) = 45°
