Melanie walked her dog 3 17/20 more miles than Cathay

First off, let's keep in mind that a "whole" is a 1 unit, namely, same/same, in this case, we can say that four fourths is one whole, namely 4/4 is 1 whole.

so, we know Melania walked her dog 2 and 1/5 miles, that'd be a whole, or 4/4.

we also know that Cathay walks hers 1 and 3/4 of that, hmmmm let's convert both fractions to "improper" and take it from there.

\bf \begin{array}{lccll}
&miles&\stackrel{whole}{fraction}\\
&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
Melania&2\frac{1}{5}&\frac{4}{4}\\\\
Cathay&x&1\frac{3}{4}
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{2\frac{1}{5}}{x}=\cfrac{\frac{4}{4}}{1\frac{3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{2\cdot 5+1}{5}}{x}=\cfrac{\frac{4}{4}}{\frac{1\cdot 4+3}{4}}

\bf \cfrac{\frac{11}{5}}{\frac{x}{1}}=\cfrac{\frac{4}{4}}{\frac{7}{4}}\implies \cfrac{11}{5}\cdot \cfrac{1}{x}=\cfrac{4}{4}\cdot \cfrac{4}{7}\implies \cfrac{11}{5x}=\cfrac{4}{7}\implies 77=20x
\\\\\\
\cfrac{77}{20}=x\impliedby \textit{Cathay does that many miles, what's their \underline{difference}?}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{Cathay}{\cfrac{77}{20}}~~-~~\stackrel{Melania}{\cfrac{11}{5}}\impliedby \stackrel{LCD}{20}\implies \cfrac{77-44}{20}\implies \cfrac{33}{20}\implies 1\frac{13}{20}

A water tank holds 200 gallons but is leaking at a rate of 3 gallons per week. A second water tank holds
vlada-n [284]
200-3w = 300-5w

Where w is the number of weeks

Rearrange and reduce:
-3w + 5w = 300-200
2 w = 100
w = 100/2 = 50 weeks

What is the slope intercept form of the equation of the line that passes through the points (2,7) and (4,-1)
natka813 [3]

Slope intercept form is y = mx + b.

Y = coordinate y.

M = Slope

X = coordinate x.

B = y-intercept.

Slope formula: (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

Plug in: (-1 - 7) / (4 - 2) = -4.

We can just insert the pair (2,7) as our x and y to solve b.

7 = -4(2) + b.

Solve for b.

7 = -8 + b.

-b = -8 -7

-b = -15

b = 15.

Original equation:

y = mx + b

y = -4x + 15
