Look at some shorter periods of time to decide whether their reasonable. Do that by simplifying the fraction. . . . . 40,000 pounds / 80 years = 4,000 pounds / 8 years = 2,000 pounds (1 ton) / 4 years = 1,000 pounds / 2 years (have you decided yet ? Well, simplify it some more) 1,000 pounds / 2 years = 500 pounds per year = almost 1 and 1/2 pounds of bread every day of your life. NOW what do you think ? Make sense ?

Select the equation of the line to the equation y=-4x-6 and that passes through the point (1,2)
omeli [17]
I don't see a list of options, but I know that the answer is y = -4x + 6.

Point - Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - 2 = -4(x - 1)

y - 2 = -4x + 4
  + 2          + 2
--------------------
y = -4x + 6

7.RP.A.1 3. If 1 1/2 cups of something fills 2/3 of a container, how many cups fill the container? ​
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is:

2 & 1/4 <u>OR</u> 2.25 cups fills the container!

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1 & 1/2 (aka 3/2) fills 2/3 of the container, then:

we know that <em>half</em> of 3/2s fills 1/3 of the container

To find half of 3/2, we multiply 3/2 by the <em><u>inverse</u></em> of 2, which is 1/2.

3/2÷2

3/2×1/2 = 3/4 ths

Now that we know 3/4ths fills 1/3 of the container, we add that to 1& 1/2.

3/4+ 1&1/2 = 2 & 1/4

Check your work!

3/4 × 3 should equal 2&1/4 if we are correct

3/4 × 3/1 = 9/4.

Simplify!

9/4 = 2&1/4

That tells us that <u>we</u><u> </u><u>are</u><u> </u><u>correct</u><u>!</u>

Hope this helps!

It took 20,000 workers to build the Taj Mahal in 20 years. How many workers would be required to build it in 10 years?
omeli [17]

Answer:

40,000 workers

Step-by-step explanation:

This question deals with simple rates proportion.

If it takes 20 years for X workers to complete a job,

if we double the amount of workers, we will take half the time.

hence to halve the time from 20 years to 10 years, we will need to double the amount of workers.

In this case we will need 20,000 workers x 2 = 40,000 workers
