Because the two speeds are going in the same direction, you add them, so his actual speed is 46 mph.

A chicken salad recipe calls for 1 8

NARA [144]

Answer: $1.0625\ pounds$ or $\frac{17}{16}\ pounds$

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete exercise is: "A chicken salad recipe calls for $\frac{1}{8}$ pound of chicken per serving . How many pounds of chicken are needed to make $8\frac{1}{2}$ serving".

You can convert the Mixed number to a Decimal number. Divide the numerator 1 by the denominator 2 and then add the quotient to the Whole number. Then, you get:

$8+0.5=8.5$

Now divide the numerator 1 by the denominator 8 to write the fraction to a Decimal number. Then:

$\frac{1}{8}= 0.125$

Let be "x" the amount of pounds are needed to make $8\frac{1}{2}$ serving.

Then, you can set up the following proportion:

$\frac{1}{0.125}=\frac{8.5}{x}$

Solving for "x", you get:

$\frac{1}{0.125}=\frac{8.5}{x}\\\\x(\frac{1}{0.125})=8.5\\\\x=8.5*0.125\\\\x=1.0625$

or $\frac{17}{16}\ pounds$

Question 2.2. Which ordered pairs make the inequality true?

taurus [48]

Question 2.2. Which ordered pairs make the inequality true?2x + y > –4The solutions are (-1, 2) and (1, -5), look at the graph in the attachment.

Question 3.3. What is the slope of the line represented by the equation?

There is no equation

Question 4.4. What is the slope of the line represented by the equation 6x - 3y = 4?

Convert to slope-intercept form:

6x - 3y = 4

Subtract 6x to both sides:

-3y = -6x + 4

Divide -3 to both sides:

y = -6/-3x + 4/-3

Simplify:

y = 2x - 4/3

Now it's in slope intercept form, y = mx + b, where 'm' is the slope. So the slope here is 2.

Question 5.5. What is the simplified form of the expression?

15y - 3(4y + 10)

Distribute -3 into the parenthesis:

15y - 12y - 30

Combine like terms:

3y - 30
