The question is to find out how many times 1/4 is equal to 1 1/2
First lets convert the total:
1 1/2 = 2/2 + 1/2 = 3/2
now we need to find out a number that multiplied by 1/4 gives 3/2, that is an equation:
(1/4)x = 3/2
and solving for x:
x = (3/2)*4
x = 12/2
x = 6
therefore they will take 6 days to repave the whole street
Choice D : look at where you think the line would be if it followed the direction of the data so that about half of the points fell above the line and half below. The two most important things to note are the slope of the line and y intercept.
This is a negative relationship as the line falls as you read it from left to right. That eliminates choice C. Next, it appears the line of best fit would have a y intercept around 10 on the y axis and then fall down and to the right cutting the data. Note that choices A and B have y intercepts that don't make sense for the data. Choice D does have a y intercept of 10 and a negative slope.
Divide number of pounds eaten by the portion of the bag eaten.
= 4 1/2 pounds ÷ 3/4
= 4.5 ÷ 0.75
= 6 pound bag
CHECK:
multiply total pounds of bag by portion eaten
= 6 pound bag * 3/4
= 4 1/2 pounds eaten
ANSWER: The bag was 6 pounds of dog food.
Hope this helps! :)
Infinite they’re all multiples, so they are the same line
