Answer:

p = 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, simply take the words of the problem and convert them into an equation as such:

The difference of p and one-sixth implies --> p - 1/6

is two-thirds implies --> 2/3

So, our equation:

p - 1/6 = 2/3

Now simply solve for p, and combine the fractions.

p - 1/6 = 2/3

p - 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/3 + 1/6

p = 2/3 + 1/6

p = 4/6 + 1/6

p = 5/6

In y = mx + b form, the slope can be found in the m position and the y intercept can be found in the b position.

y = mx + b

y = 2x + 15

slope(m) = 2 and y int (b) = 15

The initial amount is the y intercept, which is 15. The rate of change (the slope) is 2

example :

baskets picked in 1 hr :

y = 2(1) + 15

y = 2 + 15

y = 17

baskets picked in 2 hrs :

y = 2(2) + 15

y = 4 + 15

y = 19

so the slope ( rate of change) is basically saying for every hr of picking, you pick 2 baskets...so your picking 2 baskets per hr.

The y intercept (15) is telling us that they already had 15 baskets to start with.

Answer:

Number of Adult's tickets sold on Saturday = 3,356

Number of Children's tickets sold on Saturday = 2, 928

Total number of tickets sold over these two days is 8,938.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the number of tickets sold on FRIDAY:

Adult Ticket sold = 1,678

Children's Tickets sold = 976

So, the total number of tickets sold on Friday

= Sum of ( Adult + Children's ) tickets = 1,678 + 976 = 2,654 .... (1)

The number of tickets sold on SATURDAY:

Adult Ticket sold = 2 times the number of adult tickets sold on Friday

= 1,678 x 2 = 3,356

Children's Tickets sold = 3 times the number of children's tickets sold on Friday.

= 976 x 3 = 2, 928

So, the total number of tickets sold on Saturday

= Sum of ( Adult + Children's ) tickets = 3,356 + 2,928 = 6, 284 .... (2)

Now, the total number of tickets booked in these two days :

Sum of tickets booked on (Friday + Saturday)

= 2,654 + 6, 284 = 8,938

Hence, total number of tickets sold over these two days is 8,938.

Marge cut 16 pieces of tape for mounting pictures on poster board. Each piece of tape was 3/8 inch long. How much tape did Marge

mafiozo [28]

Hi! :)

It sounds like you need to multiply this fraction.

$\frac{3}{8}$ *16=6

So, Marge used 6 total inches of tape.

Hope this helps!

A) choose the linear model that passes through the most data points on the scatterplot.

irina1246 [14]

Answer: b

Explanation:
The line of best fit to a scattergram is obtained in linear regression analysis by minimizing the sum of the squared errors.
For example, in the diagram shown below, there are n data points in the scattergram.
The error for the i-th data point is $e_{i}$ .
The coefficients (a and b) for the line of best fit are determined using calculus, to minimize $\sum_{i=1}^{n} e_{i}^{2}$ .
