a. Fantine bought 2\frac{1}{4} pounds in August.

b. She bought 2\frac{2}{7} pounds in April.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; It is given than Fantine bought \frac{3}{4} of January's total in August. So,

The flour bought in August = \frac{3}{4} × The flour bought in January. From the table, we have the flour bought in January was 3 pounds.

The flour bought in August = \frac{3}{4} × 3 = \frac{9}{4} = 2\frac{1}{4} pounds. (9 divided by 2 gets a quotient of 2 and remainder 1)

Step 2; She bought \frac{7}{8} as much in April as she did in both October and July.

\frac{7}{8} × the flour bought in August = The flour bought in October and July.

The flour bought in October and July = \frac{3}{4} + 1\frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4} + \frac{5}{4} = \frac{8}{4} = 2 pounds.

\frac{7}{8} × the flour bought in August = 2 pounds.

The flour bought in August = 2 × \frac{8}{7} = \frac{16}{7} = 2\frac{2}{7} pounds. (16 divided by 7 gets a quotient of 2 and remainder 2)

Paraphin [41]
Answer: The correct answer is Choice D.

This is an example of an exponential equation. They are in the form of y=ab^x, where a is the starting value, b is the rate and x is the number of years.

Our data starts at 2500 and increases by 5%, or 100% + 5% = 1.05.

If you put them together, you have the equation y = 2500(1.05)^x, Choice D.

<span>ABCD is a parallelogram. Looking at the quadrilateral ABCD, the first thing to do is to determine if the opposite sides are parallel to each other. So let's check that by looking at the opposite sides. Line segment BA. When you go from point B to point A, you move to the right 1 space, and down 4 spaces. So the slope is -4. Looking at line segment CD, you also move to the right 1 space and down 4 spaces, which also means a slope of -4. So those two sides are parallel. When you compare line segments BC and AD, you'll notice that for both of them, you go to the right 5 spaces and up 2 spaces, so those too are parallel. So we can now saw that the quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram. Since ABCD is a parallelogram, we now need to check if it's a rectangle (we know it can't be a square since the sides aren't all the same length). An easy way to test if it's a rectangle is to check of one of the angles is 90 degrees. And if we draw a line from B to D, we can create a triangle ABD. And in a right triangle, due to Pythagora's theorem we know that A^2 + B^2 = C^2 where A is the line segment AB, B is the line segment AD and C is the line segment BD. So let's calculate A^2, B^2, and C^2. A^2: Line segment AB. We can construct a right triangle with A = 1 and B = 4. So C^2 = 1^2 + 4^2 = 1 + 16 = 17. So we have an A^2 value of 17 B^2: Line segment AD. We can construct a right triangle with A = 2 and B = 5. So C^2 = 2^2 + 5^2 = 4 + 25 = 29. So we have an B^2 value of 29 C^2: Line segment BD. We can construct a right triangle with A = 2 and B = 6. So C^2 = 2^2 + 6^2 = 4 + 36 = 40. So we have a C^2 value of 40. Now let's check if the equation A^2 + B^2 = C^2 is correct: 17 + 29 = 40 46 = 40 And since 46 isn't equal to 40, that means that ABCD can not be a rectangle. So it's just a parallelogram.</span>
