Answer:

-6 3/10 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of ice sculpture changes -1 4/5 pounds every 1 hour.

In 3 1/2 hours, multiply the time with the weight.

-1 4/5 × 3 1/2

Multiply.

-9/5 × 7/2

-63/10 = -6 3/10

Answer:

It will decrease by 6  3/10 lbs in the 3 1/2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate is -1 4/5 lbs  per hour

The time is 3 1/2 hours

Multiply to find the weight change

-1 4/5 * 3 1/2

Change to improper fractions

- ( 5*1 +4) /5 * ( 2* 3+1)/2

- 9/5 * 7/2

-63/10

Changing back to a mixed number

-6  3/10

It will decrease by 6  3/10 lbs in the 3 1/2 hours

Simplify this expression, you are y years old. Your sister is 3 years older than you. Your uncle is 4 times older than your sist
uysha [10]

Answer:The simplified expression that represents the uncle's age is

4y + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y represent your age.

Your sister is 3 years older than you. This means that your sister's age is y + 3

Your uncle is 4 times older than your sister. It means that the age of your uncle would be

4(y + 3)

The simplified expression that represents your uncle's age would be

4y + 12

A contractor is tiling your bathroom with one-foot square tiles. How many tiles are needed for the job? PLS HELPPP
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Depends on the bathroom

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically since I don't know the bathroom length and width, Ima just cut it down for you.

It is your bathroom area (length*width) divided by the area of the tiles, which is 1*1=1 foot^2(square)

Also it depends on the unit you used for the bathroom, you gotta transfer the unit for the bathroom length and width into feet.

So you should get number for bathroom area with the unit feet square.

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Total = 10W+14R

probability of red = R/total

10+14 = 24 so total = 24

R = 14

14/24

reduce (divide by two on the top and bottom)

14/2

The equation of the perpendicular bisector of BC with B(-2, 1), and C(4, 2) is y = 7.6 - 6•x

<h3>Which method can be used to find the equation of the perpendicular bisector?</h3>

The slope, <em>m</em>, of the line BC is calculated as follows;

  • m = (2 - 1)/(4 - (-2)) = 1/6

The slope of the perpendicular line to BC is -1/(1/6) = -6

The midpoint of the line BC is found as follows;

\left( - 2 +  \frac{4 - ( - 2)}{2}, \: 1 +  \frac{2 - 1}{2}   \right) = (1,\: 1.5)

The perpendicular bisector is the perpendicular line constructed from the midpoint of BC.

The equation of the perpendicular bisector in point and slope form is therefore;

(y - 1.5) = -6•(x - 1)

y - 1.6 = -6•x + 6

y = -6•x + 6 + 1.6 = 7.6 - 6•x

Which gives;

  • y = 7.6 - 6•x
