What you do is you find the common denominator between the two fractions given.  the easiest is to just multiply them 

6*8=48

and then multiply each numerator by the number it's denominator is multiplied by

1*8=8  and 5*6=30

and now you have your new fractions, add them together

8/48+30/48=38/48

this leaves 10/48 as the people who were wearing shorts,  just simplify this and it's done

10/2    =5/24
48/2

The answer to this problem is 5/24. First you find the LCM that is 48. Then you multiply 1 by 8 and get 8 so that fraction is 8/48. Then you multiply 5 by 4 and  get 20 put that into a fraction and subtract then you reduce the fraction.

F. The relationship between x and y is not a straight line. <br> Does anyone know the answer??
Allisa [31]

Answer:

y=\frac{1}{3}x-1

As the line equation represents a straight line, so the relationship between x and y is a straight line.

Therefore, option E is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking two points from the given line

  • (3, 0)
  • (-3, -2)

Finding the slope between two points

\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(3,\:0\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(-3,\:-2\right)

m=\frac{-2-0}{-3-3}

m=\frac{1}{3}

From the graph, the y-intercept can be calculated by setting the x=0 and then check the corresponding value of y.

at x = 0, y=-1

Thus, the y-intercept = -1

We know that the slope-intercept form is

y=mx+b

where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept

substituting the values of m=1/3 and the y-intercept b = -1

y=mx+b

y=\frac{1}{3}x+\left(-1\right)

y=\frac{1}{3}x-1

As the line equation represents a straight line, so the relationship between x and y is a straight line.

Therefore, option E is true.

Independent variables must be the amount of cans you buy of cat food. The dependent variable, well that must be the cost. Depending on how many cans you buy, the cost changes! :)
