B. It goes up in the 5 times table.
Let V = volume of the container.
Translate English to math (equation):
(1/4)V + 9 = (5/8)V
Multiply by 8
2v + 72 = 5V
Subtract 2V from each side
3V = 72
V = 24
The container can hold 24 gallons of water.
A=33/2 simplified is 16 1/2, 16.5
Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The first place finishers can be divided into two groups: those who went to Ohio State, and those who did not attend Ohio State.
2/5 of the first place finishers went to Ohio State. 1/2 of these were women, which means 1/2 were men. The fraction of first place finishers who went to Ohio State AND were men is:
1/2 (2/5) = 1/5
3/5 of the first place finishers did not attend Ohio State. 2/9 of these were women, which means 7/9 were men. The fraction of first place finishers who did not attend Ohio State AND were men is:
7/9 (3/5) = 7/15
So the fraction of first place finishers who were men is:
1/5 + 7/15
= 3/15 + 7/15
= 10/15
= 2/3
Count the difference of the x values between the two points (the run of the slope) and the difference of the y values between the two points (the rise of the slope). That would get you the rate of change, or slope, of the line.
