Your dog eats 7/8 lb of food in 4 meals , how many meals will it take your dog to eat 1 lb of food

Mathematics
1 answer:
choli [55]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 32/7, or 4 4/7 meals

Step-by-step explanation:

Write and solve an equation of ratios, as follows:

 7/8 lb           4 meals

------------        -------------

    1 lb                   x

x will be the number of meals necessary for the dog to eat 1 lb of food.

Cross-multiplying, (7/8)x = 4.

Multiplying both sides by 8/7 is an easy way to isolate x:

(8/7)(7/8)x = (8/7)(4)

or

              x = 32/7, or 4 4/7 meals

A recommendation for wheelchair ramps is that the rise-to-run ratio be no greater than 1:12. This ensures that the ramps are nav
patriot [66]

Answer:

a. 12 feet b. 12 feet 0.5 inches c. 8.33 %

Step-by-step explanation:

a. How far out horizontally on the ground will it protrude from the building?

Since the rise to run ratio is 1:12 and the building is 12 inches off the ground, let x be the horizontal distance the ramp protrudes.

So, by ratios rise/run = 1/12 = 12/x

1/12 = 12/x

x = 12 × 12

x = 144 inches

Since 12 inches = 1 foot, 144 inches = 144 × 1 inch = 144 × 1 foot/12 inches = 12 feet

b. How long should the ramp be?

The length of the ramp, L is gotten from Pythagoras' theorem since the ramp is a right-angled triangle with sides 12 inches and 144 inches respectively.

So, L = √(12² + 144²)

= √[12² + (12² × 12²)]

= 12√(1 + 144)

= 12√145

= 12 × 12.042

= 144.5 inches

Since 12 inches = 1 foot, 144.5 inches = 144 × 1 inch + 0.5 inches = 144 × 1 foot/12 inches + 0.5 inches = 12 feet 0.5 inches

c. What percent grade is the ramp?

The percentage grade of the ramp = rise/run × 100 %

= 12 inches/144 inches × 100 %

= 1/12 × 100 %

= 0.0833 × 100 %

= 8.33 %

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (−3, −5) and (−1, −6)?
Virty [35]

Answer:

The slope of the line passing through the points (−3, −5) and (−1, −6) is -\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } (-0.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a straight line:

y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

(x1, x2) and (y1, y2) : (−3, −5) and (−1, −6)

Calculating Slope (m).

m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}

m = \frac{ (-6) - (-5) }{ (-1) - (-3) }

m = \frac{ -6 + 5 }{ -1 + 3 }

m = -\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }

we can take this a step further by finding the equation:

Now putting value of m in equation (i)

y = -0.5x + b

Calculating Y-intercept (b).

Lets choose the first point, (-3,-5) for calculating y-intercept:

y = mx + b

-5 = -0.5(-3) + b

-5 = 1.5 + b

-6.5 = b

b = -6.5

Now putting value of b in equation

y = -0.5x + -6.5

Bezzdna [24]
1.
1.4( x - 1.6) = 1.6(x - 1.4) \\ 1.4x - 2 .24 = 1.6x - 2.24 \\ 0.2x = 0 \\ x =  0
2.
1.4( x - 1.6) = 1.6(1.4 - x) \\ 1.4x - 2 .24 = 2.24 - 1.6x \\ 3x = 4.48 \\ x =  1.4933333
