Answer:
13 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
5/2 x 27/5 = 13 1/2
The slope of the line is (1/2).
The original equation is y=mx+b
m = slope
x = variable
b = y-intercept
86 opposite of it so it would be87
C= Colorado B= Boston
C + B = 464
C = 1.2B
Substitute the known value of C from the second equation into the first
C + B = 464
(1.2B) + B = 464
2.2B = 464
Divide each side by 2.2
B = 210.9, rounded to 211 (it's asking for days, not partial days, so round)
If Boston has 211 days of sunshine , then Colorado Springs has 1.2 times that amount. 211 * 1.2 = 253.2 (rounded to 253)
Verification
211 + 253 = 464
