Answer:

He multiplied the whole numbers and divided the fractions

Step-by-step explanation:

3 1/2 ÷ 5 4/9

change the mixed numbers to improper fractions

3 1/2 = (2*3 +1)/2 =7/2

5 4/9 = (9*5+4)/9 =49/9

7/2 ÷ 49/9

copy dot flip

7/2 * 9/49

rewrite

7/49 * 9/2

1/7 * 9/2

9/14

Q1: 7×6 = 42
Q2: 42×1/8 = 42/8 = 5.25 (5 1/4) in^3
Q3: (0.5)^3 = 0.5×0.5×0.5 = 0.125 m^3
Q4: 4(5/2)^2 = 4×5/2×5/2 = 4×25/4 = 25 in^3
Q5: 3(13/2)(3/2) = 117/4 = 29.25 (29 1/4) in^3
Q6: (0.9)^3 = 0.729 cm^3

Arnoldo needs to write this system in slope-intercept form. Which shows how he could do that?

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

$y = \frac{3}{2}x - 3$

$y = \frac{1}{8} x - \frac{7}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is

3x-2y=6

0.4(20y+15)=x

The slope intercept form is y=mx+c.

For the first equation, 3x-2y=6, we add -3x to both side -2y=-3x+6

$y = \frac{3}{2}x - 3$

For 0.4(20y+15)=x, we expand to get:

$8y + 7 = x$

$8y= x - 7$

Divide through by 8

$y = \frac{1}{8}x - \frac{7}{8}$

Therefore the system in slope-intercept form is:

$y = \frac{3}{2}x - 3$

$y = \frac{1}{8}x - \frac{7}{8}$

I need help with this question. It's about inequalities.

N is greater than it equal to 3

So you put a shaded in for a three and draw a line to the right

I think :)
