So if I understand correctly, she had 7 1/8 pounds of birdseed and used 3/8 pound.
Convert the 7 1/8 to an improper fraction [(8*7)+1]/8 =57/8
57/8 - 3/8 = 54/8, which is 6 6/8 which reduces to 6 3/4 pounds left

If she had 7 pounds of birdseed and used 3/8 pounds, you need to find a common denominator to subtract if you can't do it in your head. 8 would be the common denominator, so:
56/8 - 3/8 = 53/8, which is 6 5/8 pounds left

Paper plates cost $8 per package and plastic utensils cost $5 per package. Your supplier delivers 15 packages for a total cost o
Fittoniya [83]
To find the total of what you sold for each package, you'll need to write two equations. Know that x = paper plate packages and y = utensil packages.
First, x + y = 15 shows that there has to be fifteen packages, and 8x + 5y = 90 shows the $ made from selling a certain number of packages.
Next, you can solve by substitution, so change x + y = 15 to y = 15 - x.

To find our x, substitute the y in 8x + 5y = 90 to get
8x + 5(15 - x) = 90
Distribute: 8x + 75 - 5x = 90
Combine the X's and subtract the 75: 3x = 15
Divide the 3: x = 5

Now with our x, we can put 5 into the original equation x + y = 15 to get 5 + y = 15. Subtracting the 5, we get y = 10.

So, you have delivered 5 paper plate packages and 10 utensil packages.

A zucchini plant in Darnell’s garden was 10 centimeters tall when it was first planted. Since then, it has grown approximately 0
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Let's start with part B. if it was originally 10 cm tall and it goes up 0.5 cm. each day, then we know that to go up one cm it needs two days. With that information we can say that 8*2 = 16. So it needs 17 days to go up 8.5 cm which would make it 18.5 cm tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 0.5x + 10

0.5x + 10 = 18.5

0.5x = 18.5 - 10

0.5x = 8.5

x = 8.5/0.5

x = 17 days

Michael has 13 1/4 pizzas left in the freezer at his pizza shop. The next day a group comes in and orders 5 1/3 pizzas how many
Papessa [141]

Answer:

8 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

13 1/4 - 5 1/3  = (13-5) + (1/4 - 1/3)

                      = 8 + (4/12 - 3/12)

                      = 8 1/12

For the given line segment, write the equation of the perpendicular bisector.
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

D) y = -4/5x – 47/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Find the <em>midpoint of the segmen</em>t.

The two end points are (-6, -4) and (-2, 1).

The midpoint is at the average of the coordinates.

(xₚ, yₚ) = ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2)

(xₚ, yₚ) = ((-6 - 2)/2, (-4 + 1)/2)

(xₚ, yₚ) = (-8/2, -3/2)

(xₚ, yₚ) = (-4, -3/2)

===============

Step 2. Find the <em>slope (m₁) of the segment</em>

m₁ = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

m₁ = (1 - (-4))/(-2 - (-6))

m₁ = (1 + 4)/(-2 + 6)

m₁ = 5/4

===============

Step 3. Find the <em>slope (m₂) of the perpendicular bisector </em>

m₂ = -1/m₁

m₂ = -4/5

====================

Step 4. Find the <em>intercept of the perpendicular bisector</em>

y = mx + b

y = -(4/5)x + b

The line passes through (-4, -3/2).

-3/2 = -(4/5)(-4) + b

-3/2 = 16/5 + b      Multiply each side by 10

 -15 = 32 + 10 b    Subtract 32 from each side

 -47 = 10b             Divide each side by 10

    b = -47/10

===============

Step 5. Write the <em>equation for the perpendicular bisector</em>

y = -4/5x – 47/10

The graph shows the midpoint of your segment at (-4, -3/2) and the perpendicular bisector passing through the midpoint and (0, -47/10).
