Part A:

Total boards = 3 sections of 4 boards = 12 boards

Alex paints: 1/6 of 12 boards = 2 boards

Bobby paints: 2 x Alex = 1/3 of 12 boards = 4 boards

Charles paints: 1 board

David paints: 12 - (Alex + Bobby + Charles) = 12 - 7 = 5 boards

-This means that David painted the largest part of the fence

Part B:

The fraction of the fence that David painted = 5 boards /12 total boards = 5/12

In a shipment of airplane parts, 5% are known to be defective. If 21 parts are found to be defective, how many parts are in the
horrorfan [7]

We can use ratios and the cross-multiply-divide to find this.



The ratio 21:5 is avaliable via the question. We then need to compare that to the ratio x:100, the 100 being the percent and the x being the number of airplane parts.



21/5 = x/100



We can then solve for x to find the number of airplane parts. First we multiply by 100 on both sides to get 2100/5 = x. Therefore x = 420 and there are 420 airplane parts.

If you like graphing this is for you :D​
Pavel [41]

Answer:

You are trying to find the x-value when the y-value is 2. On the graph, the x-value is -3 when the y-value is 2. So, the x-value when f(x)=2 is -3.
