Answer:

a) she be able to make 8 bags

b) she can make 16 bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the exercise info Denise has 6.4 pounds of beans

<u>Solving question a </u>

⇒ if she makes each bean bag of 0.8 pounds and she has 6.4 pounds of beans, we can express this by using the three simply rule she needs to puts 6.4 pounds of beans in x quantity of bags of 0.8 pouns, so doing the division: 6. 4 pounds of beans / 0.8 pounds of beans per bag= 8 bags of 0.8 pounds of beans.

B- If she decides to make mini bean bags that are half as heave as the ohers bags, so now Denise is going to make bags of 0.8/2 = 0.4 pounds.

Doing the same procedure as question a, we can say that she has 6.4 pounds of beans and she needed to put these amount in a x quantity of 04 pounds bags. Doing the following division ⇒ 6.4 pounds of beans/ 0.4 pounds of beans per bag= 16 bags

In conclusion she is going to make 16 bags of 0.4 pounds of beans.

Jack and Jill fetched 24 pints of water in their bucket. Jill drank a tenth of this, jack a quarter. They gave three eighths to

Minchanka [31]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Total water fetched = 24 pints.

Jill drank a tenth of this. This will be:

= 1/10 × 24

= 2.4 pints

Jack drank a quarter. This will be:

= 1/4 × 24 = 6.

They gave three eighths to dame Dob . Thus will be:

= 3/8 × 24

= 9

They gave a fifth to jill's mother. This will be:

= 1/5 × 24.

= 4.80

Amount that'll be left over will be:

= 24 - (2.40 + 6 + 9 + 4.80)

= 24 - 22.2

= 1.8

1.8 pints of water will be left over.

On average, Haley is able to read 4 5/6 Chapters in the her book each week . How many weeks will it take Haley to read 9 2/3 Cha

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

2 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

y = total number of chapters read = $9\frac{2}{3}$

m = number of chapters read per week = $4\frac{5}{6}$

x = number of weeks = what we're solving for

b is not needed to find this solution

$9\frac{2}{3}$ = $4\frac{5}{6}$ x divide $4\frac{5}{6}$ from both sides

x = 2 weeks

What is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the line that passes through (-2, 7) and (4, 9)? Type a numerical answer

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Therefore $m_{2}$ = -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) let us say the slope of the line passing through (-2,7) and (4,9) is $m_{1}$ .

ii) to find the slope of the line passing through two points ( $x_{1}$ , $y_{1}$ ) and ( $x_{2}$ , $y_{2}$ ) we use the formula m = $\dfrac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1} }$ . Therefore we can say that $m_{1}$ = $\dfrac{9 - 7}{4 - (-2)}$ = $\dfrac{1}{3}$ .

iii) let us say the slope of the perpendicular line to the line passing through (-2,7) and (4,9) is $m_{2}$

iv) from the formula for the slopes of a line and the line perpendicular to it which is given by $m_{1}$ × $m_{2}$ = -1, therefore $m_{2}$ = -1 ÷ $m_{1}$ = -3. Therefore $m_{2}$ = -3
