The total volume of the canned tomato sauce is equal to the sum of those canned in quart jars (32 ounces) and the number of pint jars (16 ounces). If we let p and q be the number of pints and quarts canned, the equation that would best represent the given is,
32q + 16p = 1280
Simplifying the equation by dividing by 16 will give us the final answer of,
2q + p = 80
21.1% of the total company is 13, 700 (as stated in the word problem). Therefore, 0.211x = 13, 700. Divide 0.211 on both sides: 64, 928.9099. The nearest whole number would result in 64, 929 employees.
Answer:
a) Ans: 8.5 miles per hour
b) Ans: 46.75 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Speed = Distance/Time
8.5/1h = 8.5 miles per hour
b) Distance = Speed x Time
8.5 miles per hour x 5.5h = 46.75 miles
To form an equation with the given information, we use the formula :
y = mx + b, m being the slope and b being the y-intercept.
Since it is given that the slope is -9/7, we substitute m with -9/7.
y = -9/7x + b
To find b, we will substitute the known coordinates into the equation :
At point (-7 , 4), x = -7, y = 4
4 = -9/7 (-7) + b
4 = 9 + b
b = 4 - 9
b = -5
Now we know that b = -5, we will substitute b = -5 into the equation that we found earlier, y = -9/7 x + b :
y = - 9/7x - 5
To make it more readable, we can multiply the equation by 7:
7y = -9x - 5
7y + 9x + 5 = 0
-----------------------------------------------------------
Answer : 7y + 9x + 5 = 0
-----------------------------------------------------------
At least you can write it as the sum of half of it twice, that is:
2/x = 1/x + 1/x
whatever x number you have, for example:
2/5 = 1/5 + 1/5
But then, you can express a fraction in many different ways, for example again:
2/5 = <span>1/5 + 1/5 = 2/10 + 2/10
</span>= 1/10 + 1/10 + 1/10 + 1/10
so there are an infinite ways of expressing such a fraction.
