To answer this question, Justin has bought 3/2 yards of the ribbon.
There are two ways you could answer this question. You could add it or subtract it. First, I will teach you the way of adding to get your answer. So, from this sentence, Justin has bought 6 ribbon and each was 1/4 yards long. You could add it by doing 1/4+1/4+1/4+1/4+1/4+1/4. This would give you 6/4, which would be 3/2 yards(simplified). (This could also be 1.5 yards..)
The second way was multiplying. It would look like this: 1/4 times 6. (Now, 6, could be represent as 6/1) Now you do 1 time 6 for your numerator and 1 times 4, which would be your denominator. This would also give you 6/4 or 3/2 (simplified) Hope this works!! :)

What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (8, 1) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is y=−2/3x+5

Kazeer [188]

Y = -2/3x + 5....the slope here is -2/3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal, we flip the slope and change the sign. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of 3/2 (see how I flipped -2/3 making it -3/2....and then changed the sign, making it 3/2)

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3/2
(8,1)....x = 8 and y = 1
now we sub and find b, the y int
1 = 3/2(8) + b
1 = 12 + b
1 - 12 = b
-11 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = 3/2x - 11 <==

Is the mean age at which American children learn to walk less than 15 months? A study of 40 American children found a mean walki

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

We define the random variable X as the walking age and we are interested if American children learn to walk less than 15 months so then that would be the alternative hypothesis and the complement would be the null hypothesis.

Null hypothesis: $\mu \geq 15$
