Answer:

5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to do is to obtain the difference between the two numbers of colored books, 50 and 40.

50 - 40 = 10 notebooks.

We need to calculate how long it will take for this difference to disappear, noting that Steve uses more of the red cover notebooks every month. The difference on a monthly basis is

6 - 4 = 2 notebooks per month

So, now the number of months will be gotten from;

Number of months = \frac{Total Difference}{Monthly Difference}

Number of months = \frac{10}{2} = 5 months

We can check for this,

After 5 months, Steve would have used 5 × 6 red cover notebooks = 30

and 5 × 4 blue cover notebooks = 20

The remaining number of books will be:

RED: 50 - 30 = 20 red cover notebooks

BLUE: 40 - 20 = 20 blue cover notebooks.

What times 4 equals 2/3
Darina [25.2K]
To find the answer, you have to do 2/3 divided 4, which equals 2/12, which is the same as 1/6. You get the answer 1/6, because 2/3 divided 4 is the same as 2/3 times 1/4, and if you do the math, you get 2/12, and you simplify it to 1/6.

One number is one third of another number. The sum of both numbers is 16. Find the numbers.
solong [7]

Answer: 4 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the "another number"

Therefore, "one number" is 1/3x

1/3 x + x = 4/3 x

4/3 x = 16

1/3 x = 4

x = 12

Therefore, the numbers are 4 and 12.

Passes through (4,-1), slope =-3
Yuri [45]
The slope intercept form of this would be y=*3x-1. The formula for slope intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. I this problem, the y-intercept is -1, so you would plug in -1 for b, so the equation is y=mx-1. The slope is -3, so you plug that in for m, so the equation now becomes y=-3x-1. Hope that helps!!
