This expression is a difference of squares:
Answer:
y = -1/4x + 2.5
or
y = -1/4x + 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
First we know that a perpendicular line is one that intersects at a 90-degree angle. This is simply the negative inverse of the slope in our case. So, 4 turns into -1/4 and that is our new slope. Next we know that we want it to pass through the point (6,1). Right now our equation is y = -1/4x + b. We can plug (6,1) into this equation and solve.
1 = -1/4(6) + b
1 = -6/4 + b
4/4 + 6/4 = 10/4
10/4 = b
simplify: 5/2 or 2.5 = b
Now we have our y-intercept, so we can complete our equation.
y = -1/4x + 2.5
or
y = -1/4x + 5/2
First we must convert these mixed numbers to improper fractions:
So then we need the product of these two numbers. That means to multiply:
But then we need the value of half of this product. So then let's multiply by one-half:
Then we can convert this from an improper fraction to a mixed number:
And so this number is half of the product of the initial two numbers.
Answer:
76.8
Step-by-step explanation:
1. We assume, that the number 31.25 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 31.25, so we can write it down as 100%=31.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=31.25
2) x%=24
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=31.25/24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for 24 is what percent of 31.25
100%/x%=31.25/24
(100/x)*x=(31.25/24)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3020833333333*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3020833333333) to get x
100/1.3020833333333=x
76.8=x
x=76.8
now we have:
24 is 76.8% of 31.25
Answer: 2 pounds
Step-by-step explanation: There are 16 ounces in one pound. So when you divide 32 by 16, you get 2. Therefore your answer would be 2 pounds!
