Answer:

6 7/8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Say the entertainment segments are each x minutes long. Then, we have the equation:

x + x + 1 1/4 = 15

2x + 1 1/4 = 15

2x = 15 - 1 1/4

We need a common denominator. 1 1/4 = 5/4 and 15 = 60/4, so we now have:

60/4 - 5/4 = 55/4. Then: 2x = 55/4

Divide by 2 from both sides:

(55/4) / 2 = 55/8 = 6 7/8

Thus, each entertainment segment is 6 7/8 minutes long.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

$y=-3.2\\\\y=-2.2\\\\y=-1.8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Insert the given x values for the given equation to find the corresponding y coordinate:

$y=0.2x-2$

$x:-6,-1,1$

Insert -6:

$y=0.2(-6)-2$

Simplify multiplication (when multiplying a negative and a positive, the result will always be negative):

$y=-1.2-2$

Simplify (when subtracting from a negative number, add the values, but keep the negative symbol):

$y=-3.2$

Insert -1:

$y=0.2(-1)-2\\\\y=-0.2-2\\\\y=-2.2$

Insert 1:

$y=0.2(1)-2\\\\y=0.2-2\\\\y=-1.8$

:Done

water weighs about 8.34 pounds per gallon. About how many ounces per gallon is the weight of the water?

notka56 [123]

Use a conversion factor and turn pounds to ounces. 1 pound = 16 ounces so
$\frac{8.34pounds}{gallon} \times \frac{16 ounces}{ 1 pound} =133.44 \frac{ounces}{gallon}$
