Answer:
3 1/5 (or 3.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
2(7) - 7(-1)
_______
7 + -1
Next:
14 + 7 (two negatives make a positive)
_____
6
Next:
21/6 which equals 3 1/2 (3.5)
Are you supposed to estimate or get an exact answer? If you're estimating you can see if the number is close to any perfect squares. In this case 63 is very close to 64, and 48 is very close to 49. The answers can then be estimated to be approximately 8 and 7, respectively.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A quick review on PEMDAS, the order of how to solve an equation:
P - parentheses. When parentheses are being used, you have to do everything inside them before doing everything outside of them.
E - exponents. We'll skip these, since there aren't any exponents we need to worry about in this equation.
M/D - multiplication/division. I include these both together because they can be done at the same time.
A/S = addition/subtraction. Can also be done at the same time.
Some other things to note:
You add all the things with an x attached to it, and you add all the things without an x attached to it, and these never cross.
When you bring something from one side of an equal sign to another, you make it negative.
Let's solve for x using what we've learned:
A) The variable on the horizontal axis of the graph (the independent variable) is "pounds of rice". That is what the first number in the ordered pair (6, 18) represents.
The variable on the vertical axis of the graph (the dependent variable) is "total cost in dollars". That is what the second number in the ordered pair represents.
(6, 18) represents that the total cost of purchasing 6 lbs of rice is $18.
B) The unit price is found at the point where the independent variable has the value 1. That would be at the point (1, 3), which indicates the unit price is $3 per pound.
C) You would have to buy 4 lbs of rice for the total cost to be $12. There are at least two ways to find the answer.
- Draw a horizontal line on the graph at cost = $12. It intersects the graph at lbs = 4.
- Divide the total cost by the unit price. $12/($3/lb) = 4 lb.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
if there are 10 girls and 6 boys total we have 16 students. Divide 10 by 16 which give 62% a girl will be picked and for boys divide 6 by 16 which is 38% a boy will be picked.
