Answer:

It's supposed to be 4-7/1-8

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for slope is y1 - y2 / x1 - x2 (subscript). So you would take the y value from (8,7) which is 7, and subtract by the y value from (1,4), which is 4. You do the same for the x values and you get 7-4/8-1, which is 3/7.

The perimeter of a rectangle swimming pool is 160 feet. The length of the swimming pool is four times its width . Find the dimen

Helga [31]

Formula for Perimeter of Rectangle:

P = 2(L + W)

Plug in 160:

160 = 2(L + W)

L = 4W
So we can plug in '4W' for 'L' in the first equation.
160 = 2(L + W)

160 = 2(4W + W)

Combine like terms:

160 = 2(5W)

160 = 10W

Divide 10 to both sides:

W = 16

Now we can plug this back into any of the two equations to find the length.

L = 4W

L = 4(16)

L = 64

So the width is 16, and the length is 64.

The Oregon trail is 2.197 miles long. How long would it take a covered wagon travelling 20 miles a day to complete the trip? Wri

Bess [88]

Answer: It needs 2.4 hours to complete the trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of Oregon trail = 2.197 miles

Speed at which it travel = 20 miles per day

we need to find the time taken by it ,

As we know that

$Time=\frac{Distance}{Speed}$

$Time=\frac{2.197}{20}\\\\Time=0.10\text{ days}$

So,

it will be changed into hours

$1\text{ day}=24\text{ hours}\\\\0.1\text{ day}=24\times 0.1=2.4\text{ hours}$

so, it needs 2.4 hours to complete the trip.
