Answer:

1) Total votes = 260

2) option (a) CANNOT be used to answer this question

================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Part (A)

let all the votes = x

Violet received 156 votes which equal to 60% of all the votes

∴ 156 = 60% of x

60% = 60/100 = 0.6

∴156 = 0.6 x ⇒ x = 156/0.6 = 260 votes

Part (B) :

options (b), (c) and (d) can be used to answer this question because they will give the same result of part (A)

<u>While option (a) CANNOT be used to answer this question.</u>

Check the following

a. 0.6 times 156 = x   ⇒  x = 93.6

b. 156 = 0.6x              ⇒ x = 260

c. 156/0.6 = x             ⇒ x = 260

d. 156/x = 60/100      ⇒ x = 260

Answer:

There is no single answer to this question other than The first graph on the left is the answer. But you should read the explanation and memorize it.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's the first graph on the right. The points are always plotted (without exception) as (x value which means go along the x axis horizontally - left or right.), (y value which means to up (for a plus y) or down for a minus y. These facts are just memorized.

Summary

(x,y)

  • x goes either left or right.
  • x>0 goes right.  
  • x<0 goes left.
  • y goes up or down
  • y > 0 goes up
  • y < 0 goes down

Locations

First point (Please label this as first point)  - 3 (that goes left)  2 that goes up

You should be putting it in the upper left space.

Second Point. (-2,-2) that goes 2 to left and 2 down. You should put that point in the lower left space. There's only 1 point in the lower left space and that is this point.

Third Point (0,1) That's the only point on the y axis. It is above the x axis. It is all by itself on the y axis line. The other two points are done the same way. Please make sure you try them.

Why are some rational numbers not integers?
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Every integer is a rational number, since each integer n can be written in the form n/1. For example 5 = 5/1 and thus 5 is a rational number. However, numbers like 1/2, 45454737/2424242, and -3/7 are also rational, since they are fractions whose numerator and denominator are integers.
