Tim has 5/12 of a jar of BlackBerry jam and 3/8 of a jar of strawberry jam. Write 5/12 and 3/8 using a common denominator

Answer:

10/24 and 9/24

Step-by-step explanation:

24 is the common denominator because it is the next smallest number that both 12 and 8 go into. 12 x 2=24 but you have to do the same thing to the numerator if you do something to the denominator so since we multiplyed by 2 now multiply 5 by 2 and get 10. Then the same for 3/8 but 8 goes into 24 3 times so we miltiply by 3, 3x3=9 so you get 9/24 and 10/24. Hope this helps have a great day!

Slope Formula: $\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

m - slope
b - y-intercept

Linear Regression

Step-by-step explanation:

We can draw any best line of fit, as long as it is <em>reasonable</em> around the points that are given.

We can just take 2 points and use slope formula and Slope-Intercept Form to find the equation for the best line of fit.

Using Linear Regression, we can determine the <em>true</em> best line of fit using graphing utilities.

<u>Finding the best line of fit</u>

<em>Define 2 points</em>

Point (21600, 205)

Point (27000, 290)

<em>Find slope m</em>

Substitute in point [SF]: $\displaystyle m=\frac{290-205}{27000-21600}$
[Fraction] Subtract: $\displaystyle m=\frac{85}{5400}$
[Fraction] Simplify: $\displaystyle m=\frac{17}{1080}$

<em>Find equation</em>

Define equation [SIF]: $\displaystyle y = \frac{17}{1080}x + b$
Substitute in point: $\displaystyle 290 = \frac{17}{1080}(27000) + b$
Multiply: $\displaystyle 290 = 425 + b$
Isolate y-intercept <em>b</em>: $\displaystyle -135 = b$
Rewrite: $\displaystyle b = -135$
Redefine equation: $\displaystyle y = \frac{17}{1080}x - 135$

Slope-Intercept Form tells us that our slope <em>m</em> = $\displaystyle \frac{17}{1080}$ and our y-intercept $\displaystyle b = -135$ .

Setting this as function f(x), we can see from the graph that it is extremely accurate (Blue line).

<u>Using Linear Regression</u>

Depending on the graphing calc you have, the steps may be different.

Using a graphing calc, we can use statistics and determine the <em>best</em> best line of fit.

When we determine the values, we should see that our equation would be g(x) (Green Line).

______________
3x = 600
x = 200

200 + y = 700
