Answer:

The amount of white paint Jen used to paint the walls in her room is:

  • <u>1.64 pints.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the exercise you only have to pay attention to the statement, in the section that says that 4/5 parts of the total painting is blue, therefore, if 1 is the total painting, you must do a subtraction:

  • 1 - 4/5 = 1/5

Since the remaining white paint is 1/5 of the total, you have two ways to solve the exercise: multiply the total paint (8.2 pints) by 1/5 or divide the number by 5, as shown below:

  • <u>Amount of white paint = 8.2 pints * (1/5) = 1.64 pints. </u>
  • <u>Amount of white paint = 8.2 pints / 5 = 1.64 pints. </u>

As you can see, the two methods provide a <u>value of 1.64 pints, which corresponds to 1/5 of the total paint and is the amount of white paint used</u>.

Its 16.

So you have 12 miles on that trail, and markers every 2/3 of the way there. If you were to divide 2 with 3 then you can get the decimal of the fraction. Which in this case it’s 0.75. So every single 0.75 of the mile there is a marker. Divide 12 with 0.75 and you get 16 markers.

What is the height of this isosceles triangle?
erastova [34]

Answer:

height ≈ 11.9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Construct a perpendicular bisector from the vertex to the base, thus splitting the triangle into 2 right triangles.

Using the sine ratio in one of these right triangles, then

sin48° = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} ( the opposite is the height h )

sin48° = \frac{h}{16} ( multiply both sides by 16 )

16 × sin48° = h , thus

h ≈ 11.9 ( to the nearest tenth )

A line with a slope of -4 has a coordinate of (0,3). If the other coordinate is (6,t),
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Alrighty! So this is what we know:

Slope (m) = (-4)

Co-ordinate (0,3)

Co-ordinate 2 (6,t)

t = ?

Let's find our equation...

y=mx+b <-- just plug what we know in...

3=(-4)0+b

3=0+b

b=3

We just found b! woohoo

Now what is t? t is a value we need to know WHICH IS the y value of a co-ordinate that corresponds to when x is 6, as we know a co-ordinate is expressed as --> (x value, y value).

SO-

t=y

plug it in our equation...

y=mx+b

t=(-4)x+3

t=(-4)(6)+3

t=(-24)+3

t=(-21)

SOOOOOOOO WE HAVE OUR T!! just write a therefore statement like "therefore the value of t is -21." and you're set! hope this helped, any questions? ask in the comment section. :)

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The slope is -3/4 and the y-intercept is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

B is the point where the line cross the y-axis, or vertical axis. Slope is the steepness of the line. Determined by rise over run. When the slope goes down 3 units, the slope goes to the right 4 units.
