Mathematics

Answer:

22%

Step-by-step explanation:

Well if the ramp can hold 1000lbs and 6 people all weight 780 in total (they must be really fat lol, but anyway) we can make the following fraction.

780/1000

So now we simplify the fraction to 39/50.

And do 39 / 50 = .78

To make that a percent we move the decimal point 2 times to the right so 78% of the ramp‘s capacity is being used meaning there is stil 22% capacity left.

The reciprocal parent function is translated 5 units right and 3 units up. Write an equation to represent the new function.

ladessa [460]

Answer:

The new function is $y=\frac{1}{x-5}+3$ , where x ≠ 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The reciprocal parent function is $f(x)=\frac{1}{x}$ , where x ≠ 0

The translation of f(x) to the right h units is f(x - h)

The translation of f(x) up k units is f(x) + k

The translation of f(x) to the right h units and up k units is f(x - h) + k

∵ The equation of the reciprocal parent function is $y=\frac{1}{x}$

∵ The function is translated 5 units right

∴ h = 5

- That means 5 is subtracted from x ⇒ (x - 5)

∵ The function is translated 3 units up

∴ k = 3

- That means y added by 3

∴ $y=\frac{1}{x-5}+3$

The new function is $y=\frac{1}{x-5}+3$ , where x ≠ 5

Jill had some candy to give to her five

Mama L [17]

She started with 32 pieces.

Explanation: If she had 5 children and each child received 5 pieces, you can determine that she gave her children a total of 25 pieces because 5 x 5 = 25. If she took 7 pieces for herself before giving the rest away, you can determine that she had 32 pieces of candy to start with because 25 + 7 = 32.

Write the equation that describes the line with slope = 1 and y-intercept= 5/2 in slope-intercept form.

Nonamiya [84]

Answer: y=x+5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

using the slope intercept formula, y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, you can substitute the two values to get y=x+5/2. Please note that the slope, m, is one so it's not shown.

In order to take honors-level math, Lisa must have an average of 85 on her math tests. Her scores so far are 85, 70, and 98. Wha

Mila [183]

Answer:

d) 87

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this lets set up the equation

$\frac{85+70+98+x}{4} =85\\\frac{253+x}{4} =85$

then we multiply 4 on both sides

253+x=340

and subtract 253 on both sides

x=87

to double check take the averages

(87+85+70+98)/4=85
