Answer:

The ratio of flour to sugar is 2:1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let f = weight of a bag of flour

Let s = weight of a bag of sugar

3f+2s = 32

4f = 32

We have 2 equations and 2 unknowns, we can solve

4f=32

Divide by 4

4f/4 = 32/4

f = 8

Each bag of flour weights 8 pounds

Substitute this back into the first equation

3(8) +2s = 32

24+2s = 32

Subtract 24 from each side

24-24 +2s =32-24

2s = 8

Divide by 2

2s/2 = 8/2

s = 4 pounds

Flours weighs 8 pounds and sugar weights 4 pounds

We want the ratio of flour to sugar

Flour: sugar

8:4

We can divide each side by 4

8/4: 4/4

2:1

Write a function g whose graph represents the indicated transformation of the graph of f(x)=x+2; translation 2 units right

miss Akunina [59]

The function g whose graph represents the indicated transformation of the graph of f(x)=x+2; translation 2 units right is g(x) = x

<h3>Translation of functions</h3>

Translation is a technique used to change the position of an image on an xy-plane. Given the function below;

f(x) = x +2

If the expression is translation 2 units to the right, the translation rule will be:

g(x) = f(x )- 2

Substitute

g(x) = x + 2 - 2

g(x) = x

Hence the function g whose graph represents the indicated transformation of the graph of f(x)=x+2; translation 2 units right is g(x) = x

Find the midpoint of the segment having endpoints (0 ,1/8) and (-4/5 ,0)

kvasek [131]

Answer:

Mid point of the given end points = $(\frac{-2}{5},\frac{1}{16} )$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the end points of the line segment are :

(0, $\frac{1}{8}$ ) & ( $\frac{-4}{5}$ ,0)

We will use the mid point formula when two points are: (x₁,y₁) & (x₂,y₂)

mid point = $(\frac{x_{1} +x_{2} }{2},\frac{y_{1} +y_{2} }{2} )$

now put the value of x₁ = 0

x₂ = $\frac{-4}{5}$

y₁ = $\frac{1}{8}$

y₂ = 0

mid point = $(\frac{0-\frac{4}{5} }{2},\frac{\frac{1}{8}+0 }{2})$

= $(\frac{-2}{5},\frac{1}{16} )$

That's the final answer.
