Answer:
Samuel slept for 1/4 of the distance.
Step-by-step explanation:
The information provided are:
- Samuel fell asleep halfway home.
- He didn't wake up until he still had half as far to go as he had already
- gone while asleep.
Consider that the total distance covered was 1.
Then from the first point we know that Samuel fell asleep after covering a distance of 1/2.
It is provided that he woke up only after covering half of the remaining distance.
That is, he slept for 1/4 of the remaining distance.
Thus, Samuel was asleep for 1/4th of the entire trip home.
Answer:
The slope is 5/-2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is y1-y2 over m1-m2 (rise over run). The first ordered pair is -2 (m1) and 11 (y1). We then subtract the second ordered pair (4 (m2) and -4 (y2)) from the first.
11 - (-4) = 11 + 4 = 15
-2 - 4 = -6
Remember, slope is rise over run (y over x), so the slope is 15/-6. Now, we must simplify. 15/-6 = 5/-2
Dean went wrong because he thought that slope was run over rise (x over y). If he had switched the two numbers, his answer would have been correct.
Answer: It was marked down by 35%
Step-by-step explanation:
1. find the difference of the two prices, 68-44.20=23.8
Take the fraction 23.8/68 (because that is how much the price changed and you need to find what percent that is.
You get 35%
