We know that there are 16 pieces left and that the ratio is 3 : 5. The ratio teels us there are 8 "parts" inside (because 3 + 5 = 8), so now we may just divide 16 by 8 to find out how much is one such "part":

16 ÷ 8 = 2

Now we can see that one "part" of the ratio is for 2 pieces. So if the ratio of black to red pieces is 3 : 5, then there are 3 * 2 = 6 red pieces and <u>5 * 2 = 10 black bieces</u>.

Which of the following equations describes the line shown below? Check all
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

y = -1/2 x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Which of the following equations describes the line shown below? Check all

that apply.

(-4, 4)

(2, 1)

The standard equation of a line is y = mx,+b

m is the slope

b is he y-inttercept

Get the slope

Slope m = y2-y1/x2-x1

Substitute the coordinate

M = 1-4/2-(-4)

M = -3/6

M = -1/2

Substitute m= -1/2 and (2,1) into y = mx+b

1 = -1/2(2)+b

1 = -1+b

b = 1+1

b=2

Get the equation

Recall y =mx+b

y = -1/2 x + 2

A suitcase measures 24 inches long and 18 inches high, what is the diagonal length of the suitcase?
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The diagonal is 30 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming a rectangular suitcase (with right angles), we can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this

a² + b² = c²

so we plug our two values to find the diagonal (hypotenuse)

24² + 18² = c²

576 + 324 = c²

900 = c²

c = √900

c = 30

The diagonal is 30 inches
