Answer:

   24 birds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the number of birds at the shelter on Wednesday. Then the cost of care for the 41 animals is ...

  5b +7.5(41 -b) = 247.50

  -2.5b +307.50 = 247.50 . . . . . simplify

  -2.5b = -60 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 307.50

  b = 24 . . . . . . . . . divide by -2.5

The number of birds at the shelter on Wednesday was 24.

Answer:

B.\frac{7}{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

m=\frac{3}{2}\\n=\frac{1}{2\\} \\\frac{1}{2} (m-\frac{2}{3} n)=\frac{1}{2} (\frac{3}{2} -\frac{2}{3} .\frac{1}{2} )\\=\frac{7}{12}

Kevin drove for 4 hours and then stopped to eat dinner. The total distance he had driven at different time intervals is shown on
natta225 [31]

Answer:

If you want a simple average, you can add all the speeds you see and divide them by the number of how many they are.  

So firstly you have to calculate the speed of the first point, which is:  

20 miles/0.5 hour

That means: 40 miles/hour

That would be your first "speed"

Then you calculate all of them :speed1+speed2+speed3 = something.  

As an example: 20miles/hr + 40miles/hr+0miles/hr = 60miles/hr

Then, you divide it by how many "speeds" they are: 60miles/hr divided by 3 if I continue my previous example.

It is my first answer, and I hope I could help you a bit!

Sorry for the awkward English, as it is not my mother tongue.

How could you use coordinate geometry to prove that segment BD and segment AC bisect one another?
____ [38]

Answer:

I think it's prove the midpoints are the same

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not completely sure but I'm taking it right now and I believe that's the most logical answer because if they meet up at the same midpoint then they could bisect each other.
