Answer: A
Step-by-step explanation:
M= 1/2
to find this you plug in the points into the the formula m=y2-y1 / x2-x1
m=3-6 / -4-2
m=-3 / -6
this simplifies to m=1/2
A+b=32
a-b=8
let's subtract bottom equation from the top:
a+b-(a-b)=32-8
2b=24
b=12
Then a=20
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 represents every fraction, where the denominator (bottom part) is twice the numerator (top part).
like 4/8 or 6/12 or 128/256 or ...
what do we need in the denominator to calculate with 15/16 ?
the same : 16.
and what is half of 16 ? 8.
so, we need the 1/2 based on 16th = 8/16.
so, the dog ate 8/16 (1/2) of the original 15/16.
what was left was
15/16 - 8/16 = 7/16 pound
