Answer:
a. 1 1/8 b. 8/9
Step-by-step explanation:
You can set this up as a proportion to solve. For part a. we know that 2/3 of the road is 3/4 mile long. 2/3 + 1/3 = the whole road, so we need how many miles of the road is 1/3 its length. Set up the proportion like this:
Cross multiplying gives you:
The 3's on the right cancel out nicely, leaving you with
To solve for x, multiply both sides by 3/2:
gives you
That means that the road is still missing 3/8 of a mile til it's finished. The length of the road is found by adding the 3/4 to the 3/8:
So the road is a total of 1 1/8 miles long.
For b. we need to find out how much of 1 1/8 is 1 mile:
1 mile = x * 9/8 and
x = 8/9. When 1 mile of the road is completed, that is 8/9 of the total length of the road completed.

<h2>
He is going to pay 40*900= $36000 for the reservation</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
We are told that they need at least 50 total rooms.
Joe has paid for 16 rooms since Joe can only reserve rooms in block, and a block has 8 rooms, then Joe has paid for 2 blocks.
There is a deficit of 50-16= 34rooms
Required
The Number of blocks Joe need to reserve in addition is 34/8
=4.25
The blocks can not be in decimal, so we need to approximate, which is 5 blocks
Therefore Joe is going to reserve 5*8= 40 rooms
<u>He is going to pay 40*900= $36000 for the reservation</u>
Its C. Add 3 and 15 which gives you 18. Then move the variable (4x) to the left. Then combine like terms which are the x’s and you should get 3x. Then divide both sides by 3. (18/3 = 6)
Answer:
x-intercept = (-9,0)
y-intercept = (0,27)
Step-by-step explanation:
So first we will convert 9x - 3y = -81 into slope intercept form (y=mx+b).
Subtract 9x on both sides to get -3y = -9x -81. Next divide -3 on both sides to get y = 3x + 27.
Since b is the y-intercept, in y=mx+b and 27 is in the position of b, we can already tell that 27 is the y-intercept. So we will write it as (0,27) because coordinates are supposed to be written as (x,y).
Now in order to find the x-intercept, we will have to plug in 0 for y, in the original equation, so we can solve for x.
So we have: 9x -3(0) = -81
Since 3 × 0 = 0, we now have 9x - 0 = -81. So next we add 0 on both sides to get 9x = -81, and then we divide by 9 to get x = -9. So we will write this as (-9,0).
Hope this helps you :)
