Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is:

2 & 1/4 <u>OR</u> 2.25 cups fills the container!

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1 & 1/2 (aka 3/2) fills 2/3 of the container, then:

we know that <em>half</em> of 3/2s fills 1/3 of the container

To find half of 3/2, we multiply 3/2 by the <em><u>inverse</u></em> of 2, which is 1/2.

3/2÷2

3/2×1/2 = 3/4 ths

Now that we know 3/4ths fills 1/3 of the container, we add that to 1& 1/2.

3/4+ 1&1/2 = 2 & 1/4

Check your work!

3/4 × 3 should equal 2&1/4 if we are correct

3/4 × 3/1 = 9/4.

Simplify!

9/4 = 2&1/4

That tells us that <u>we</u><u> </u><u>are</u><u> </u><u>correct</u><u>!</u>

Hope this helps!

Find the equation of the line that passes through points a and b
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

y - 7 = 2(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Going from (-3, -1) to (1, 7), x increases by 4 and y by 8.  These numbers are the 'run' and 'rise' of the line, respectively.  Thus, the slope of the red line is m = rise/run = m = 8/4 = 2.

Using the point-slope formula and the point (1, 7), we get:

y - 7 = 2(x - 1)

I know it is a long question but please I will mark brainlist to the person who answers please help

Answer:

Carla lives 16 miles from the Library.

The mistake is drawng the diagram incorrectly and using the miles given in the wrong places. The <u>student's</u> diagram has Yuri in a place that's Southwest of the Library in the diagram given

Step-by-step explanation:

If Yuri lives 24 miles SOUTH of the library, the "b" side of the triangle should be 24, with the Library at the top and Yuri at the bottom left, which is the west end of the base. The base "a" of the triangle should extend 10 to the right (East in compas directions) forming the right angle. Carla lives at the sharp southeast corner of the triangle, and the Hypotenuse "c"  from her house to the Library is the distance we have to figure.

c² =a² + b²

c² = 10² + 24²

c² = 100 + 576

c² = 676

√c² = √676

c = 26       Carla lives 26 miles from the Library.

Please help me. I have an idea of what the answer might be but I’m not sure so I need you to help me clarify if I was correct so
Gemiola [76]

Hello!

<em>According to the diagram, your answer is</em> <em>D.) Some Elephants have tusks</em>

If the entire circle labeled "Elephants" was inside the circle labeled "Animals With Tusks," it would be A, but that is not the case. only part of it is inside. so D is the correct answer.

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!

GalinKa [24]

Answer: 34

Step-by-step explanation: the ratio is 3:2 we know that there are 51 orange sweets but we don’t know how many are yellow so the current ratio is 51:x we need to find x so if we divide 3 by 51 the answer is 17 so we need to multiply 17 by 2 which is 34 so x is equaled to 34 the final ratio is 51:34

hope it helped :)
