The answer is 80.
You would first, divide 120 by 3.
Then, multiply 40 by 2.

3 + 2 = 5 <span>Five parts of a whole

3/5 - cooper
2/5 - zinc

3/5 = 120g  [ * (5/3
3/5 *5/3 = 120g * 5/3
1 (100%) = 600/3g = 200g

200g * 2/5 = 400/5g = 80g zinc</span>

Just want to double check our answer.

0 divided by 2 is 0.

You can use the multiplicative identity property: the product of any number and zero is still zero.

Hope this helped :)

You are mowing a lawn. After 12 minutes, 52% of the lawn still needs mowed. How long does it take to mow the entire lawn? Write
aleksley [76]
12/x = 52/48
12 * 48 = 52x
x = 11.07 This is one way to do it.

Let the time = x
Let the part of the lawn = y

The general equation
y = k*x
52/100 = k * 12
k = 0.043333 
y = 0.043333*x
y = 0.043333* 11.08
y = 0.48 which is what it should be.

Yet another way is to let y = kx
52 = k*12
k = 52/12
k = 4.33333333

y = 4.333333 * x
y = 4.333333 * 48
48  = 4.333333 * x
x = 11.07 which is just what you should expect.

Write an equation with a slope of -1/2 in each form.<br> point-slope form<br> slope-intercept form.
Evgen [1.6K]

For the case of a line through

(

2

,

7

)

and

(

1

,

−

4

)

we have

slope

m

=

Δ

y

Δ

x

=

−

4

−

7

1

−

2

=

−

11

−

1

=

11

Using the point

(

2

,

7

)

we can write the equation of the line in point slope form as:

y

−

7

=

m

(

x

−

2

)

where the slope

m

=

11

.

That is:

y

−

7

=

11

(

x

−

2

)

To get point intercept form, first expand the right hand side so...

y

−

7

=

11

x

−

(

11

⋅

2

)

=

11

x

−

22

Then add

7

to both sides to get:

y

=

11

x

−

15

=

11

x

+

(

−

15

)

This is point intercept (

y

=

m

x

+

c

) form with slope

m

=

11

and intercept

c

=

−

15

.

Identify the graphical solution to the inequality
NeTakaya

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve absolute value inequalities you must solve it for when the absolute value is positive and then when it is negative

example, |4| = 4 and -4

first solution will be when we're solving for the positive value:

+(-4x+7) ≥ 27

-4x + 7 ≥ 27

-4x ≥ 20

x ≤ -5   [reverse the symbol when mult or div by a negative]

-(-4x+7) ≥ 27

4x - 7 ≥ 27

4x ≥ 34

x ≥ 34/4 or x ≥ 8 1/2

solution:  x ≤ -5 or x ≥ 8.5
