Answer:

In the first half, they scored 9 points.

in the second half, they scored:

-3 + 2*9 = 18 - 3 = 15 points.

The total number of points scored is 9 + 15 = 24 points.

Now we want to know:

"What is the ratio of the points scored in the second half to the total number of points scored?"

The ratio between two numbers a and b is written as:

a:b

In this case, the ratio will be:

15:24

But we should simplify this ratio, we can divide both sides by the same number and the ratio will remain unchanged.

As both numbers are multiples of 3, we can divide both sides by 3.

15/3 = 5.

24/3 = 8

Then:

15:24 = 5:8

The ratio is 5:8

Which graph represents the function<br> f(x) = (x + 4)(x + 1)(x - 3)<br> ?
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph that represents the function

f(x) = (x + 4)(x + 1)(x - 3)

crosses the x-axis three times: at x = -4, x = -1, and x = 3

because we apply the zero product rule and found the roots -4, -1, and 3

x+ 4= 0 → x = -4

x+1 = 0 → x = -1

x-3 = 0 → x = 3

47/8 as a mixed number
tresset_1 [31]
47/8 is an improper fraction so we need to divide 47 by 8 to get an mixed number.
8 go into 47, 5 times  because 5*8 equals 40. 
47-40 is 7 that is the left over.
5 7/8 is your mixed number.
