Let the number of cookies that kate eats be ‘n’
kate : n
nacy : 2n-4
avery : 2(2n-4)

n + 2n-4 + 2(2n+4) = 18
7n - 12 = 16
7n = 28
n = 4

kate : 4
nacy : 2x4 - 4 = 4
avery : 2(2x4 - 4) =8

If the hypotenus is 41 inches, and one of the legs is 40 inches what is the length of the other Leg
andre [41]
You find the answer through the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 a & b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
a = 40
b = ?
c = 41

40^2 + b^2 = 41^2
1600 + b^2 = 1681
b^2 = 1681 - 1600
b^2 = 81
b = 9

the length of the other leg is 9

What is the gradient of the graph shown? <br> Give your answer in its simplest form.
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The gradient is m=1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient, known as the slope, is the rate of change, defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. In this case, we will select two points from the line and calculate the slope from there. I selected (0,3) and (3,4) to demonstrate:

Slope=m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(4-3)/(3-0)=1/3

Therefore, the gradient/slope is 1/3.
