Answer:

24 : 84 = 2 : 7

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simplify the ratio 24 : 84 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (GCF).

The GCF of 24 and 84 is 12.

Divide both terms by 12.

24 ÷ 12 = 2

84 ÷ 12 = 7

Therefore:

24 : 84 = 2 : 7

What is the equation of the line of the best fit for the following data? Round to the slope and y-intercept of the line to three
BigorU [14]

Answer:

D. y=-0.927x+13.634

Step-by-step explanation:

We graph the points on the graph. The graph is attached.

Let us take two points (1, 14) and (15, 1), and calculate the slope mbetween them <em>(we choose these points because the line passing through them will be the best fit for all points) </em>

m=\frac{14-1}{1-15} =\frac{13}{-14} =-0.9286

Thus we have the equation

y=-0.9286x+b

Let us now calculate b from the point (1,14)

14=-0.9286(1)+b

b=14.9286

So the equation we get is

y=-0.9286x+14.9286

Let us now turn to the choices given and see which choice is closest to our equation: we see that choice D. y=-0.927x+13.634 is the closest one, so we pick it.

It took James 5h to paint an 8ft by 24ft wall. At this rate, how long would it take him to paint a 12ft by 36ft wall
olasank [31]
8 * 24 feet = 192 sq feet per 5 hours

12* 36 = 432 square feet

432 is 2.25 times the area of 192 square feet

So, it takes 5 * 2.25 = 11.25 hours

A parking garage charges a $2.50 daily fee plus an hourly rate of $4.00. If you have $12.50 to pay for parking, how long can you
Vesnalui [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to set up an equation so

12.50=4x+2.50

Simplify each side by subtracting the initial fee of 2.50

10=4x

divide by 4 to isolate x

2.5=x

You can park for 2.5 hours with your budget
