Say you're making a recipe that needs 2 1/2 cups of water. But you want to make two servings, so you need to know what 2 1/2 + 2 1/2 equals. Or maybe you need a half cup of milk but you don't have enough. You need to know how much left you need so you can buy or borrow the right amount.
Answer:
5 bottle caps each second
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the unit rate, just divide the total number by the total time.
150/30
5
So 5 bottle caps per second
keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have <u>negative reciprocal</u> slopes, hmmm what's the slope of y=2/3x-1 anyway?

so, notice, "one of his mistakes" is that he used 3/2 as the slope, not -3/2.
so, we're really looking for a line whose slope is -3/2 and runs through (-7, 1/2).

Answer:
UW = 36 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question
Point V lies between points U and W on Line segment U W. A line has points U, V, W. The length between U V is 2 x minus 4. The length between V W is 4 x + 10. If UW = 9x – 9, what is UW in units?
If a point V lies between points U and W on line segment UW, then based on vector notation, UV + VW = UW.
Given parameters
The length between U and V i.e UV = 2x-4
The length between V and W i.e VW= 4x + 10.
UW = 9x – 9
Required
The length between U and W in units
Since UW = UV+VW, we will substitute the given functions into the formula as shown;
9x-9 = 2x-4+4x + 10.
9x-9 = 2x+4x-4+10
9x-9 = 6x+6
collect like terms on both sides;
9x-6x = 6+9
3x = 15
x = 15/3
x = 5
Substitute x = 5 into the function UW = 9x-9 to ge the length of UW in units.
UW = 9(5)-9
UW = 45-9
UW = 36 units
<em>Hence the required length between line segment U and W in units is 36units.</em>
