A truck has a total of p pounds of fruit in boxes. How many boxes are on the truck if there are n pounds of fruit in each box?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: The number of boxes on the truck is p/n, where p is the total number of pounds and n is the number of pounds per box.

Since, we don't have numbers, we will have to use the letters to write an expression.

The truck holds P pounds, with B boxes and N number of pounds in each box.

We can write and solve the following equation for the number of boxes.

P = BN Divide both sides by N
P/N = B

Assuming that Hamid’s revenue is found by multiplying the book price by the number of copies sold, create an equation (in standa

Vadim26 [7]

An equation of Hamid’s revenue by multiplying the book price by the number of copies sold is x = ny.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

The process of equating one thing with another.

Let Hamid’s revenue is $x and the price of book is $y.

If he sold n number of copies.

Then, the general equation will be x = n * y.

Therefore, an equation of Hamid's revenue will be x = ny.

Consider the following linear equation.y = -1-Step 1 of 2: Determine the slope and the y-intercept (entered as an ordered pair)

Dmitriy789 [7]

Recall that a slope-intercept form of a linear equation is

$\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ \text{where} \\ m\text{ is the slope} \\ b\text{ is the y-intercept} \end{gathered}$

Rearrange the given so that it follows that slope intercept form

$\begin{gathered} y=-1-\frac{2}{5}x\Longrightarrow y=-\frac{2}{5}x-1 \\ \\ \text{Now that it is in the slope intercept form} \\ y=-\frac{2}{5}x-1 \\ \text{we can determine that the slope is } \\ m=-\frac{2}{5} \\ \text{and the y-intercept is} \\ b=-1 \end{gathered}$

The y-intercept is the value for which the linear function crosses the y-axis, this is when the value of x is equal to zero. The ordered pair therefore of the y-intercept is (0,-1).

It takes 60 minutes for 7 people to paint 5 walls. How many minutes does it take for 10 people to paint 10 walls?

sweet-ann [11.9K]

60 = 5k/7

420 = 5k

84 = k

m = 10(84)/10
m = 84

Hope this helps!

Find the perimeter of triangle PQR. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

BabaBlast [244]

We are given the coordinate of the 3 vertices. From these coordinates we can find the length of the sides using the distance formula and the sum of all the sides will be equal to the perimeter of the triangle.

Side PQ = $\sqrt{ (6-(-2))^{2}+ (1-1)^{2} }=8$

Side QR = $\sqrt{ (4-6)^{2}+ (-3-1)^{2} }=4.5$

Side RP = $\sqrt{ (2-(-4))^{2}+ (-3-1)^{2} }=7.2$

So, the perimeter of the triangle will be 8 + 4.5 + 7.2 = 19.7

You probably misplaced the digits in option A. The correct answer is 19.7 units.
