As was the case in your previous question, this problem involves setting two ratios equal to each other. We call such an equation a proportion.

 

16 miles   =   x miles

(1/2) inch      2 3/4 inches

 

x = (11/4) * 16 = (11/4) * 2 * 16 = 88 miles

      (1/2)

What are the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of 5x-4y= -20
lakkis [162]

To find the intercepts, we can set the opposite variable equal to 0 and solve.

Let's find the x intercept first.

5x - 4(0) = -20

5x = -20

Divide both sides by 5.

x = -4

<h3>The x intercept is -4.</h3>

Now let's find the y intercept.

5(0) - 4y = -20

-4y = -20

Divide both sides by -4.

y = 5

<h3>The y intercept is 5.</h3>

Solve the given one-step equations. Show your work.
laila [671]
Isolate for each variable.
1. z= 6 - 10
z= -4

2. y= 48/8
y=6

3. q= 1+12
q= 13
4. 18 x 2= a
36= a
5. r= 7 x 3
r= 21

I think you can try the rest :)

Find 8 and one third percent of 144
madam [21]
\bf 8\frac{1}{3}\implies \cfrac{8\cdot 3+1}{3}\implies \cfrac{25}{3}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;now\qquad \cfrac{\frac{25}{3}}{100}\implies \cfrac{\frac{25}{3}}{\frac{100}{1}}\implies \cfrac{25}{3}\cdot \cfrac{1}{100}\implies \cfrac{1}{3\cdot 4}\implies \cfrac{1}{12}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;8\frac{1}{3}\%\ of\ 144\implies  \left( \cfrac{\frac{25}{3}}{100} \right)\cdot 144\implies \cfrac{1}{12}\cdot 144\implies \cfrac{144}{12}\implies 12
