Allison and Megan were at track practice. The track is 3/8 kilometers around.

Ad libitum [116K]

Allison ran 3/8 km (0.375 km) in 3 minutes.

Set up a proportion to find how long it takes for her to run 1 km

$\frac{0.375\textrm{km}}{3 \textrm{min}} = \frac{1\textrm{km}}{x \textrm{min}}$

Cross multiply to get:

$3 = 0.375x$

Solve:

$x = \frac{3}{0.375}$

x = 8 minutes

Food Express is running a special promotion in which customers can win a free gallon of milk with their food purchase if there i

frez [133]

In this case probability is the likelihood that from 264 customers one customer wins free gallon of milk with his food purchase, or in other words the probability that one customer receives a star on his receipt.
Probability is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of all possible events. From 264 customers, 219 have not received a star. The opposite is to receive a star and that is the situation: (1-219)/264=0.17,

What is the greatest common factor of 20 and 30???

Ugo [173]

The greatest common factor of 20 and 30 is 10. This is because 10 is the largest number that when it is used to divide 20 or 30, it equals a whole number.

The simple way for us to solve is to write down the factors of both numbers, find the factors that match for both numbers, and see which is the largest out of those that match.

20: 1,2,4,5,10,20
30: 1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30

Using that logic, we can see that 10 is the greatest factor that the numbers share.

Identify the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that is perpendicular to y = -1/3 x + 2 and passes through (2, 1)

Airida [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line perpendicular to another line is the opposite reciprocal of the slope of the other line, meaning if the slope of the other line is $-\frac{1}{3}$ , then the slope of the line perpendicular is $3$ .
