Answer:
1/30 of a ton
Step-by-step explanation:
Write this as an expression:
1/3 of a ton and 1/2 of a ton were taken to the site.
4/5 of a ton were remove from the site.
Amount of a ton at the site =
Solve the equation by finding <u>common denominators</u> (when the bottom numbers are the same).
Focus on the first part. The least common multiple (LCM) of 3 and 2 is "6", which will become the denominator.
For <u>1/3 to become ?/6</u>, multiply top and bottom by 2.
For <u>1/2 to become ?/6</u>, multiply top and bottom by 3.
Now we can add the numerators together over the same denominator.
Do the same thing as before and change the denominators. The LCM of 6 and 5 is "30".
For <u>5/6 to become ?/30</u>, multiply top and bottom by 5.
For <u>4/5 to become ?/30</u>, multiply top and bottom by 6.
Subtract the numerators:
Answer in tons
Therefore there was 1/30 of a ton of rock left at the construction site.
Answer:
B) -3
Step-by-step explanation:
1. First you have to write the equation in slope intercept form. To do that, you must have y be alone on one side.
2. move the 3x to the right side with the 5 by subtracting 3x from both sides. Since 3x will cancel on the left, y will be left alone.
3. Now that you're in slope intercept form, you can find the slope easily. The slope will always be the number in front of x. In this case, the number in front of x is -3. Therefore, -3 is your slope!
