So, The Crayola Crayon company can make 2400 crayons in 4 minutes. In other words, every 4 minutes they can make 2400 crayons, right? So, in 15 minutes how many would they have made? Well, what we do is we divide 15 by 4 which is 3.75. Then we multiply the result, 3.75, by 2400. 3.75 * 9000. So, in 15 minutes, Crayola  would have made 900 crayons!

4/2400 = 15/x

Step 1: Cross Multiply

4/2400 = 15/x

4 * x = (15) * (2400)

4x = 36000

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2

4x/4 = 36000/2

x = 9000

The answer is, 9000!!! :D

What is the total cost of a $12.60 item plus 7% sales tax?
Ulleksa [173]
To take a percent, move the decimal point of the percent two places to the left. 7% = 0.07

Then multiply:

12.60 • 0.07 = 0.88

12.60 + 0.88 = 13.48

The total cost is: $13.48

What is the slope of this line ?
lidiya [134]

Answer:

The slope of this line is 7/4 or 1.74 in decimal form.

m = 7/4 OR m = 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = y^2 - y^1 / x^2 - x^1

Let's pick any two points from the graph: (-1, -3) and (3, 4)

m = y^2 - y^1 / x^2 - x^1

m = 4 - (-3) / 3 - (-1)

m = 4 + 3 / 3 + 1

m = 7/4

m = 1.75
