Its asking for the units being used so the answer is Inches
Answer:
there are 12 sections
here is how to do it:
2 8
_ = _
3 x
so you cross multiply
8 x 3 = 2x
24=2x
12=x
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
20/3 ounces of water is added.
Step-by-step explanation:
how many ounces of pure water should be added to 20 ounces of 40% solution of muriatic acid to obtain a 30% solution of muriatic acid?
--------------
The acid is 40% of 20 ounces = 8 ounces.
0.4*20 = 8
----------
That same 8 ounces is to be 30%. The water will be the other 70%.
8/30 = x/100
30x = 800
x = 80/3, the total amount of the solution.
We started with 20, so 80/3 - 20 = 20/3
20/3 ounces of water is added.
Mr. Mole's burrow was at an altitude of 6 meters below the ground.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
We need to determine the distance that Mr. Mole covers in a single minute.
To do that we divide the difference in values of altitude by the difference in the time periods.
For the first case, Mr. Mole had traveled -18 meters in 5 minutes.
We also have, he traveled -25.2 meters in 8 minutes.
Step 2:
The distance he covered in 1 minute 

So with every minute, Mr. Mole digs down an additional 2.4 meters below the surface.
To determine where Mr. Mole's burrow is we subtract the distance traveled in 5 minutes from -18.
The altitude of Mr. Mole's burrow 
So Mr. Mole's burrow was at an altitude of 6 meters below the ground i.e. -6 meters.
First move the 14x over to get 7y=-14x-9 then divide by 7 and you get y= -2x-9/7. the slope is the value next to the x in y=mx+b form so the slope is -2
