The answer is 120 sections.

Here's an explanation:

The rope is 105 feet long, and each section needs to be 7/8 feet. So to find the number of sections, you need to divide 105 by 7/8. 105 divided by 7/8 gives you the quotient 120. So there are 120 sections.

The Better Nutter Butter Co packed 400 lb. of peanut butter into jars holding 2.5 lbs. each. How many jars were used?

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

160 jars

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many jars were used, we just need to divide the amount of stuff by the amount of stuff a jar can hold.

400 (the amount of peanut number in pounds) / 2.5 (the amount of peanut butter each jar can hold) = 160.

So, 160 jars were used to package the 400 pounds of peanut butter.

A candle is 9 inches long. Ronnie lights the candle and records the height of the candle, y inches, for x hours.

In the future, please post the full problem with all included instructions. After doing a quick internet search, I found your problem listed somewhere else. It mentions two parts (a) and (b)

Part (a) asked for the equation of the line in y = mx+b form

That would be y = -2x+9

This is because each time y goes down by 2, x goes up by 1. We have slope = rise/run = -2/1 = -2. This indicates that the height of the candle decreases by 2 inches per hour. The slope represents the rate of change.

The initial height of the candle is the y intercept b value. So we have m = -2 and b = 9 lead us from y = mx+b to y = -2x+9

----------------------------------------------------------------

Part (b) then asks you to graph the equation. Because this is a linear equation, it produces a straight line. We only need 2 points at minimum to graph any line. Let's plot (0,9) and (1,7) on the same xy grid. These two points are the first two rows of the table. Plot those two points and draw a straight line through them. The graph is below
