Multiply 4.8 into (20/3), and multiply 16/9 with (1.2b)
Multiply 9 on both sides
19.2b = 32(9)
19.2b = 288 Divide 19.2 on both sides
b = 15
When dealing with percentages it is often much easier to convert it to a decimal (mostly because a lot of people are uncomfortable working with fractions) but in this case, I suggest dividing 1 into 5 [hint hint fractions are just glorified division in the long run] and after you have done that multiply by 100. This will get you your answer.
Answer:
b=320; slope=-30
Step-by-step explanation:
if you look along the y-axis find the spot that the line intercepts and then that's b
now for the slope
find two points on the line, i chose(8 , 120) and (4 , 240)
use the slope formula: y2-y1 over x2-x1
240-120=120 and 4-8= -4
so the slope is 120/-4 and that can be simplified to 30/-1 or -30
1/3 is less than one whole because your cutting the whole into 3 pieces and only having one of those pieces
