ndFraction of a minute. Don calculated the unit rate to be StartFraction 3 over 20 EndFraction of a gallon per minute. What did he do wrong? He added Three-fourths to StartFraction 1 over 5 EndFraction instead of multiplying Three-fourths by StartFraction 1 over 5 EndFraction. He divided Three-fourths by StartFraction 1 over 5 EndFraction instead of multiplying Three-fourths by StartFraction 1 over 5 EndFraction. He added Three-fourths to StartFraction 1 over 5 EndFraction instead of dividing Three-fourths by StartFraction 1 over 5 EndFraction. He multiplied Three-fourths by StartFraction 1 over 5 EndFraction instead of dividing Three-fourths by StartFraction 1 over 5 EndFraction. plz help me i need it qiuck! first answer will be brainliest plz!!

Answer:

He multiplied 3/4 by 1/5 instead of dividing 3/4 by 1/5.

Correct is 3/4 / 1/5

= 3/4 * 5

= 15/4 gallons per minute.

For each ordered pair, determine whether it is a solution to y=-5x+2.
Sedbober [7]

There are two ways to do this.

The first is you plug in the x-value from the point in the table and see if that gives you the y-value from the same point.

For example, your first point is (5,49), so plug in x=5:

   y = -5(5)+2 = -25+2 = -23

Since that's not the y-value in (5,49), then (5,49) is not a solution for the equation.

The other option is you plug in both the x-value and the y-value to see if you get a true statement.  (A solution will make the equaiton a true statement.)

For example, the first point is (5,49), so you'd plug in x=5 and y=49:

    49 = -5(5)+2

    49 = -25 + 2

    49 = -23

Since that's not true, (5,49) is not a solution.

You'll notice you're basically doing the same thing, it's just whether you plug in one value or both and that's your choice.

The area of a square floor on a scale drawing is 64 square centimeters, and the scale drawing is 1 centimeter:3 ft. What is the
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Part a) The area of the actual floor is 576\ ft^{2}

Part b) The ratio of the area in the drawing to the actual area is \frac{1}{9}\frac{cm^{2}}{ft^{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale drawing is \frac{1}{3}\frac{cm}{ft}

step 1

Find the dimensions of the square on a scale drawing

The area of a square is equal to

A=b^{2}

where

b is the length side of the square

A=64\ cm^{2}

so

64=b^{2}

b=8\ cm

step 2

Find the dimensions of the actual floor

Divide the length of the floor on the drawing by the scale drawing

8/(1/3)=24\ ft

step 3

Find the area of the actual floor

The area of a square is equal to

A=b^{2}

substitute

A=24^{2}=576\ ft^{2}

step 4

Find the ratio of the area in the drawing to the actual area

\frac{64}{576}\frac{cm^{2}}{ft^{2}}

Simplify

Divide by 64 both numerator and denominator

\frac{1}{9}\frac{cm^{2}}{ft^{2}}
