We are given that Peter buys 12 bunches of bananas for 9.00.

We need to determine how much peter will pay for 8 bunches.

Let us set up proportion now.

12 bunches of bananas for 9.00 = 12 : 9

Let us assume Peter will pay for 8 bunches = $x.

Therefore, 8 bunches of bananas for x = 8 : x.

<h3>Setting up proportion:</h3><h3> $\frac{12}{9} = \frac{8}{x}$ </h3>

On cross-multiplying, we get

12x = 9×8

12x = 72.

Dividing both sides by 12, we get

$\frac{12x}{12} =\frac{72}{12}$

x=6.

<h3>Therefore, Peter will pay $6 for 8 bunches.</h3>

Hello, here's the question :D

Answer:

(examples) n = 2

n = 3

n = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

to demonstrate, all you do is select a number to represent 'n' and plug it in.

so for example, n = 2:

2(2) + 3(2) = 5(2)

4 + 6 = 10, which is true.

Answer:

$\large\boxed{Q1.\ \text{2 times greater}}\\\\\boxed{Q2.\ J. 3}\\\\\boxed{Q3.\ B. -\dfrac{4}{5}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

$y=mx+b$

m - slope

b - y-intercept

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Q1.

We have the equation of a line <em>p </em>in the standard form

$4x-3y=7$

Convert to the slope-intercept form:

$4x-3y=7$ <em>subtract 3x from both sides</em>

$-3y=-4x+7$ <em>divide both sides by (-3)</em>

$y=\dfrac{4}{3}x-\dfrac{7}{3}$

The slope $m_1=\dfrac{4}{3}$

From the table we have the points (4, 3) and (7, 5). Calculate the slope of line <em>q</em>:

$m_2=\dfrac{5-3}{7-4}=\dfrac{2}{3}$

Divide the slope of <em>p</em> by the slope of <em>q</em>:

$\dfrac{4}{3}:\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{4}{3}\cdot\dfrac{3}{2}=2$

Q2.

Parallel line have the same slope. Therefore, if we have the equation of the line in the slope-intercept form, then we have the slope:

$y=3x+2\to m=3$

Q3.

Parallel line have the same slope.

Calculate the slope from given points (-11, 5) and (-6, 1):

$y=\dfrac{1-5}{-6-(-11)}=\dfrac{-4}{-6+11}=\dfrac{-4}{5}=-\dfrac{4}{5}$

Joe's Ice Cream Shop has 7/8 of a gallon of vanilla ice cream left. They use 1/12 of a gallon of ice cream to make one milkshake

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Ten and a Half milkshakes can be prepared from the available amount of ice cream.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total vanilla ice cream = 7/8 gallons

Ice cream used for 1 milkshake = 1/12 gallon

Now, total number of milkshakes possible = $\frac{\textrm{Total availibility of ice cream}}{\textrm{Ice cream used for each milkshake}}$

= $\frac{\frac{7}{8} }{\frac{1}{12} } = \frac{7}{8} \times \frac{12}{1} = 10.5$

Hence ten and a half milkshakes can be prepared from the available amount of ice cream.
