Answer: y = 1/8x+1
y=mx+b is slope intercept form
given m = 1/8 and a point we can find b by plugging in what we have
1=1/8(8)+b
1=1b
b=1
So then we know m = 1/8 and b = 1
y=1/8x+1 is the answer
Ahmad = 1/6
Barry = 1/2
Tara = 1 - 1/6 - 1/2 = 1/3
1/3 of the seashells = 76
3/3 of the seashells = 76 x 3
3/3 of the seashells = 228
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: They had 228 seashells altogether.

8/24 = x / 48
cross multiply
(24)(x) = (8)(48)
24x = 384
x = 384/24
x = 16 <===
