Short Answer: D

Solution

Difference in weight = 8.68 - 6.2 = 2.48 pounds

%increase = x

6.2 * x/100 = 2.48                         Divide by 6.2 on both sides

(6.2 * x /100) ÷ 6.2 = 2.48 / 6.2    Simplify the left. Divide the right.

x / 100 = 0.4                                  Multiply both sides by 100

100 * x / 100 = 0.4 * 100                Combine

x = 40 %

Answer

The Puppy went up 40% in weight.

D because 6.2=100
6.2×1.4=8.68
so 100×1.4=140
140-100=40
so it's 40%

Answer:

<u>Question 3</u>

Given expression:

\sf \left(\dfrac{-8}{9} \times \dfrac{1}{-5}\right)+\left(\dfrac{-8}{9} \times \dfrac{-7}{11}\right)

Both parentheses share a common term.

To factor out a common term: ab + ac = a(b + c)

\textsf{Factor out the common term }\dfrac{-8}{9}

\sf \implies\dfrac{-8}{9} \times \left(\dfrac{1}{-5}+\dfrac{-7}{11}\right)

<u>Question 4</u>

To calculate the amount of money Rajni had to begin with, sum the three amounts she spent:

\sf \implies total=10\frac14+25\frac34+16\frac12

As \sf a\frac{b}{c}=a+\frac{b}{c}, then:

\sf \implies 10+\frac14+25+\frac34+16+\frac12

Collect and sum the whole numbers:

\sf \implies (10+25+16)+\frac14+\frac34+\frac12

\sf \implies 51+\frac14+\frac34+\frac12

As  \sf \frac14+\frac34=\frac44=1, then

\sf \implies 51+1+\frac12

\sf \implies 52+\frac12

\sf \implies 52\frac12

The point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through (–9, –2) and (1, 3) is y – 3 = 1/2 (x – 1). What is the slo
Vinil7 [7]
You just have to simplify that point-slope equation in order to get it into slope-intercept:
y-3= \frac{1}{2} (x-1)
y-3= \frac{1}{2}x- \frac{1}{2}
y= \frac{1}{2} x- \frac{1}{2} +3
y= \frac{1}{2} x- \frac{1}{2} + \frac{6}{2}
y= \frac{1}{2} x+ \frac{5}{2}
