6 0

Answer:

0.75 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, this one is more simple. To find the weight of each book, You have to solve this division problem:

15/20

If you divided it the other way around, you would be saying each book weighed 1.33 pounds. That wouldn't be correct because then you would have over 20 lbs. of books, when you only have 15.

So, the answer is 0.75 pounds.

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points P = (-7,1) and Q = (5,-7)

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

(-1, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint coordinates are the average of the respective end point coordinates:

M = (P +Q)/2

M = ((-7, 1) +(5, -7))/2 = (-7+5, 1-7)/2 = (-2, -6)/2

M = (-1, -3) . . . . the midpoint of PQ
