Step-by-step explanation:

multiplying both numerators and denominators of both fractions by any number to get equivalent fractions. let us multiply by 20 so

-2/5 = -40/100 and

2/5 = 40/100

so rational numbers between them

-39/100, -38/100,-37/100.........-3/100,-2/100,-1/100,0,1/100,2/100,3/100................37/100,38/100,39/100

as many as you like you can write

Nirmala graphed the relationship between the duration (in hours) of using an oil lamp and the volume (in milliliters) of oil rem

mariarad [96]

Answer:

Nirmala can use the lamp for 31.66 hours before it runs out of oil.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph,

Take any two points, let say

(15, 25)

(25, 10)

$\mathrm{Slope\:between\:two\:points}:\quad \mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(15,\:25\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(25,\:10\right)$

$m=\frac{10-25}{25-15}$

$m=-\frac{3}{2}$

The equation of line in slope-intercept form

$y = mx + b$

Putting $m=-\frac{3}{2}$ and any point, let say (25, 10), to find the y-intercept 'b'

$10=-\frac{3}{2}\left(25\right)+b$

$-\frac{3}{2}\left(25\right)+b=10$

$-\frac{75}{2}+b=10$

$\mathrm{Add\:}\frac{75}{2}\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}$

$-\frac{75}{2}+b+\frac{75}{2}=10+\frac{75}{2}$

$b=\frac{95}{2}$

$b=47.5$

So the equation of line will be:

$y = mx + b$

$y=-\frac{3}{2}x+47.5$

In order to find how long Nirmala can use the lamp before it runs out of oil, we need to find x-intercept which can be obtained by putting y = 0, and solve for x, as duration lies on x-axis.

$y=-\frac{3}{2}x+47.5$

Putting y = 0

$0=-\frac{3}{2}x+47.5$

$-\frac{3}{2}x+47.5=0$

$-\frac{3}{2}x=-47.5$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}2$

$2\left(-\frac{3}{2}x\right)=2\left(-47.5\right)$

$-3x=-95$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-3$

$\frac{-3x}{-3}=\frac{-95}{-3}$

$x=\frac{95}{3}$

$x=31.66$

Therefore, Nirmala can use the lamp for 31.66 hours before it runs out of oil.
