Answer:

\frac{21}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 3\frac{1}{8} - \frac{1}{2}

Let's changed that mixed number to an improper fraction. Now we get:

\frac{25}{8} - \frac{1}{2}

Let's find out least common denominator. This one is easy, the LCD is 8. Now that we know the LCD, let's convert both our fractions:

\frac{25}{8} - \frac{4}{8}

We can use \frac{4}{8} because it is equal to \frac{1}{2}. Now, all we need to do is subtract the numerators:

\frac{25}{8} - \frac{4}{8}=\frac{21}{8}

If DB = 36 and AC = 3x - 3, what is the value of x?
algol13

Answer:

A.) 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Since DB =36, and AC is the same line, then AC = 36. The new equation is 36 = 3x - 3. Do inverse operation. Add 3 to both sides of the equation: 36+3=39 & -3+3=0. New equation is 39=3x. Finally divide. 39/3= 13.

5.1% &lt; 0.51 please help been working on this all day I really need help
WITCHER [35]
You can write any decimal as a precent by moving the decimal 2 places to the right so 
0.51 = 51%
5.1% < 51%
5.1% < 0.51

or, any precent can be written as a decimal by moving the decimal points two point to the left so
5.1% = 0.051
0.051 < 0.51
5.1% < 0.51

The ratio of boys to girls in the checkers club at one school is 2:3. the number of club members is more than 20 and fewer than
anastassius [24]
So our ratio is 2:3, therefore we are looking for a multiple of 2 and a multiple of 3 that are proportional to this ratio. We can start by multiplying the ratio by 2, which gets us 4:6, which, since 4+6 is ten, is not a correct answer. If you continue the pattern of multiplying the ration with different numbers, you would eventually discover that, if you multiply the ratio by 5, you get 10:15. Since 10+15 is equal to 25, we know that this is the correct answer

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS. 20 POINTS
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

y=12.75x and y=13x

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change is another name for slope.  To find the slope of Relationship B, we use the formula

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Using the first two points, we have

m = (50-25)/(4-2) = 25/2 = 12.5

This means that anything with a rate of change greater than 12.5 works in this problem.

The equations listed for Relationship A are in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (in all of these, b = 0).

In the first equation, m = 13; in the second equation, m = 11.5; in the third equation, m = 12.75; and in the fourth equation, m = 12.25.  The only ones with higher slopes than Relationship B are the first and the third one.
