HELP ASAP IM STRUGGLING : The instructions on a box of chicken patties state that one patty should be cooked for 2.5 minutes in

the microwave. If more than one patty is cooked, an additional 1.5 minutes should be added per patty.
Write an equation in slope-intercept form to model the cooking time in minutes, y, for x patties.

Answer:

y= 1.5x + 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

So slope intercept form is y= mx + b.

y is the number of minutes, so that will be on the left of the equal sign, not part of the math side of the actual equation, because it's the answer.

1.5x is the mx part because it's 1.5 minutes for each extra patty. So that would explain the x attached to it. so for each extra patty you add, that's what x would be.

The + 2.5 at the end, is just the time for the initial patty.

Hope this helps and is easy to understand! :)

An electric pump can fill a 45-gallon tub in half an hour.At this rate, how long would it take to fill a 60-gallon tub?
zysi [14]
You can cross multiply to find the answer. Start by setting up your equation:

45/30 = 60/x  (30 represents half an hour)
Next, cross multiply, 45 times x, and 60 times 30: 

45x = 1800  you must isolate the "x" value by using the opposite operation it is involved in. Here we have 45x (x is multiplied to 45) so we must divide 45, which will cancel itself out, leaving us with "x."

What you do on one side of the equation, you must do on the other, so divide 1800 by 45 as well, which will leave you with 40.

Working it out on paper, your equation should now look like this: x=40, which represents the amount of time it will take to fill a 60 gallon tube.

Answer: It will take 40 minutes to fill a 60 gallon tube.

<span>
y = 7 + 3/5
y = 35/5 + 3/5
y = 38/5
y = 2*(38/5)
y = 76/10
---
lunch time:
z = 1/2
z = 5*(1/2)
z = 5/10
---
time switching classes:
w = 7/10
---
y - 6x - z - w = 0
6x = y - z - w
x = (y - z - w)/6
x = (76/10 - 5/10 - 7/10)/6
x = (76 - 5 - 7)/(10*6)
x = (64)/(10*6)
x = (2*2*2*2*2*2)/(2*5*2*3)
x = (2*2*2*2)/(5*3)
x = 16/15

x = 1.0666666666
---
check:
y = 7 + 3/5
y = 7.6
z = 1/2
z = 0.5
w = 7/10
w = 0.7
y - 6x - z - w = 0
6x = y - z - w
x = (y - z - w)/6
x = (7.6 - 0.5 - 0.7)/6
x = 1.0666666666

Lucas ate a fraction of a pizza. Hugo ate 5/8 of the same pizza. Now there is 1/8 of the pizza left what fraction of pizza did L
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

\frac{2}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this equation we will need to use what we know in order to find the answer.

1=\frac{8}{8}

H=\frac{5}{8}

R = \frac{1}{8}

If Huge ate 5/8's of the pizza and 8/8's creates a whole pizza then the question is quite simple. There is only 1/8's remaining after the boys finish their meal but 5/8's of the pizza was already eaten by Hugo meaning Lucas has to eat 2/8's of the pizza in order for there to be only 1/8's of the pizza left which means 2/8's is your answer.

Hope this helps.
