For this case we have the following conversion:
1 pound = 16 ounces
Then we rewrite the sack weights:
14 pounds 9 ounces = 14 9/16
9 pounds 14 ounces = 9 14/16 = 9 7/8
Then, we subtract both values:
(14 9/16) - (9 7/8) = 4.6875 = 4 + 0.6875
Rewriting:
4 + 0.6875 = 4 + 6875/1000
4 + 1375/200 = 4 + 275/40
4 + 275/40 = 4 + 55/8
Answer:
the weight of the potatoes wendy use for the potato salad is:
4 + 55/8 pounds
Answer:
3 hours 8 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = 3x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we will solve for the slope (m).
The formula for slope is: m =
m = --- enter the points into the formula
m = --- simplify
m = 3 --- simplify
Now we will solve for the y-intercept (b).
y = mx + b
y = 3x + b --- substitute the slope into the equation
-20 = 3(-9) + b --- substitute the x and y of either point into the equation
-20 = -27 + b --- simplify
7 = b --- add 27 to both sides
b = 7
Done.
y = 3x + 7
