28 cell phone cases in all. 
6 of the 28 cases are fabric. 

6/28 simplified to 3/14 

So the answer to your question would be 3/14

Hope this helps! :)

Let me help assist you.
This question is asking for, in simplified form, the fraction that the customer will select the fabric case. We will start by making the fraction.
First, let's add the total number of cases.
10 + 12 + 6 = 28.
There is 28 cases in all. Let's subtract the number of fabric cases.
28 - 6 = 22.
With this information, we can make the fraction, which is 6/28.
The question asks for simplest form, however. Now that we have the fraction, we can proceed to this step.
We have to find the GCD of the numerator and denominator, which is 2.
Now, we have to divide both 6 and 28 by the GCD (2).
6 ÷ 2 = 3
28 ÷ 2 = 14
The simplest form of 6/28 is 3/14.

Hope this answers your question correctly.

A salesperson makes a five percent commission on every sale she makes. Her daily sales in dollars) for the past 16 working days
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The five-number summary is made up of the following summary means:

1. Minimum: 25

2. First Quartile: 30.5

3. Medium: 34.5

4. Third quartile: 43

5. Maximum: 78

6. P30: 32.1

b.

Standard Deviation: 12.72

Rank: 53

Interquartile range: 12.5

C. The interquartile range is 12.5 and 1.5 times the interquartile range is (1.5) (12.5) = 18.75. Third quartile plus 1.5 times the interquartile range is 61.75. The value of 78 exceeds 61.75, then 78 is an outlier.

a line with the slope of -5 passes through the points (-3, -5) and (-4, teat parentheses. What is the value of t​
Setler79 [48]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope using the slope formula

m = (Y2 - Y1)/(X2 - X1).

Then use the point slope formula,

Y - Y1 = m(X - X1), with one of the given

points and the slope. Also, solve for y.

Use Y - Y1 = m(X - X1)

Also, solve for y.

Find the slope of the given line, m, by rewriting the given equation in y = mx + b. Flip and change the sign on the given slope to find the new slope.

Use Y - Y1 = m(X - X1)

Plug in the given point and new slope

and solve for y.

Plot points or graph line. Move a vertical line across the graph. If the line touches more than once then it is not a function.

Domain = { x-values, ... }

Range = { y-values, ... }

List the elements in increasing order and don't repeat.

For this class, the domain is all real numbers unless you have an x in the denominator of a fraction.

When x is in the denominator, set the denominator equal to zero and solve. Everything on a number line works except the value(s) you got when solving.

Answer: (- infinity, #) u (#, infinity)

Parentheses everywhere b/c the number # does not work in the equation.

Domain: Squish the graph to the x-axis. Write shaded part in interval notation (left, right)

Range: Squish the graph to the y-axis. Write shaded part in interval notation (down, up)

Brackets include points, parentheses don't. Infinities always get parentheses.

Write both equations in the style y = mx + b.

Look at the slopes, m, to answer the question.

If the slopes are the same, then they are parallel.

If the slopes are negative reciprocals, then they are perpendicular. Otherwise, neither.

If you have an equal to under the inequality, then you have a solid boundary line. If you don't have an equal to under the inequality, then you have a dotted boundary line.

After you have graphed the boundary line and determined if it is solid or dotted, find a test point on either side of the boundary line. Substitute the ordered pair into the original inequality. If it simplifies down to a true statement, shade the region where that point is. If it is false, shade the region that does not contain that point.

what is the solution to the equation fraction 1 over 6x = 2? x = fraction 1 over 12 x = fraction 1 over 3 x = 3 x = 12
hram777 [196]
1/6x = 2.....multiply both sides by the reciprocal 6/1
(6/1)(1/6)x = 2(6/1)
1x or just x = 12
