Answer:

The fractional part of the original pizza is $\frac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the original pizza (complete pizza)

we know that

Half a pizza represent ------> $\frac{x}{2}$

Divide half a pizza by three people

$(\frac{x}{2})/3=\frac{x}{6}$

therefore

The fractional part of the original pizza is $\frac{1}{6}$

In 4 minutes, a conveyor belt moves 800 pounds of recyclable aluminum from the delivery truck to a storage area. A smaller belt

kkurt [141]

Answer:

It takes 2 minutes 4 seconds to move the cans to storage area if both the belts are used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - In 4 minutes, a conveyor belt moves 800 pounds of recyclable

aluminum from the delivery truck to a storage area. A smaller belt

moves the same quantity of cans the same distance in 6 minutes.

To find - If both belts are used, find how long it takes to move the cans

to the storage area.

Proof -

Given that,

Larger belt take 4 minutes to transfer the aluminium from delivery truck to storage area.

⇒ Time taken by Larger belt = 4 min/ shifting

Also,

Smaller belt take 6 minutes to transfer the aluminium from delivery truck to storage area.

⇒ Time taken by Smaller belt = 6 min/ shifting

Now,

As we know that Time is inversely proportional to time, so

Rate of Larger Belt = $\frac{1}{4}$ shifting/min

Rate of Smaller Belt = $\frac{1}{6}$ shifting/min

Now,

Let us assume that , if both belts used then,

Total time taken = x min/shifting

Then, Rate = $\frac{1}{x}$ shifting/min

Now,

$\frac{1}{4}$ + $\frac{1}{6}$ = $\frac{1}{x}$

⇒ $\frac{6 + 4}{24} = \frac{1}{x}$

⇒ $\frac{10}{24} = \frac{1}{x}$

⇒10x = 24

⇒x = $\frac{24}{10}$ = 2.4 minutes

∴ we get

It takes 2 minutes 4 seconds to move the cans to storage area if both the belts are used.

Which equation represents the line that passes through the points (-5,2) and (9,0)

V125BC [204]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points 

( -5 , 2) and (9 , 0)

First calculating slope(m)

= ( y2 - y1) / ( x2 - x1) 

= ( 0-2) / ( 9+5)

= -2 / 14

= -1/7

Now The equation of line is given by 

y - y1 = m ( x - x1) 

y -2 = -1/7 (x + 5)

7( y - 2) = -1(x + 5)

7y - 14 = -x -5

x + 7y -14 +5 = 0

x + 7y - 9 = 0 

Which is the required equation
