Answer:

Divide total length by length of each piece to get the number of pieces.

= 30 ÷ 2/3

multiply by reciprocal of 2/3

= 30 * 3/2

= 90/2

= 45

ANSWER: Total number of pieces that can be cut is 45.

Pedro has a bag of flour that weighs 9/10 pound. he uses 2/3 of the bag to make gravy. how many pounds of flour does pedro use t

BARSIC [14]

Here is the solution of the given problem above.
First, let's analyze the question.
Given: 1 bag = 9/10 pound
2/3 bag = ? pound
What we are going to do is to divide 9/10 pound to 3.
so 9/10 divided by 3 and we get 9/30 and to simplify that, 3/10.
So per 1/3 of the bag, there is 3/10 pound.
To get the weight for 2/3 of the bag, we multiply 3/10 by 2 and we get 6/10 or to simplify it, it is 3/5. Therefore, the 2/3 bag weights 3/5 pound. Hope this answer helps.

Line g passes through points (5, 9) and (3, 2). Line h passes through points (9, 10) and (2, 12). Are line g and line h parallel

icang [17]

For this case we find the slopes of each of the lines:

The g line passes through the following points:

$(x_ {1}, y_ {1}) :( 3,2)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}) :( 5,9)$

So, the slope is:

$m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}} = \frac {9-2} {5-3} = \frac {7} {2}$

Line h passes through the following points:

$(x_ {1}, y_ {1}) :( 9,10)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}) :( 2,12)$

So, the slope is:

$m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}}{x_ {2} -x_ {1}} = \frac {12-10} {2-9} = \frac {2} {- 7} = - \frac {2} {7}$

By definition, if two lines are parallel then their slopes are equal. If the lines are perpendicular then the product of their slopes is -1.

It is observed that lines g and h are not parallel. We verify if they are perpendicular:

$\frac {7} {2} * - \frac {2} {7} = \frac {-14} {14} = - 1$

Thus, the lines are perpendicular.

Answer:

The lines are perpendicular.

Find the area of the triangle on the grid below.

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

31.5 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = ½*base*height

Height of the triangle on the grid = 9 units

Base = 7 units

Area = ½*9*7

Area = ½*63

Area = 63/2

Area = 31.5 units²
