Answer:
r = 15 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
change every thing to have a 6 in the denominator
31/6 = 5 1/6
60/6 = 10
add the 31/6 to both sides to get the r by itself
60/6 + 31/6 = 91/6
r = 15 1/6
A) intercepts: zero profit; maximum: maximum profit. increasing: x < 4; decreasing x > 4
B) average slope: ≈50, about $50 increased profit for each $1 increase in price.
An x-intercept is also known as a _____horizontal intercept_____
Since the y-intercept is -3, plot a point at -3 on the y-axis (vertical). Then, continue to make points by following the slope down.
Remember, slope is written as y/x
A slope of -1/2 could be interpreted as -1 over 2. So, each time you move down 1 space, you move to the right 2 spaces.
So, following the slope down, you'd plot another point at (2,-4). Then, another at (4,-5), and so on. Understand?
The <em>correct answer</em> is:
2 pieces, with 1/12 m left over.
Explanation:
To find the number of 1/3 meter pieces she can cut from a 3/4 meter ribbon, we divide:
3/4÷1/3
To divide fractions, flip the second one and multiply:
3/4×3/1
To multiply fractions, multiply straight across:
(3*3)/(4*1) = 9/4
4 will go into 9 two times with 1 left over, so this simplifies to 2 1/4; this means she can cut 2 pieces this length.
2 pieces that are 1/3 meter long is a total of 2(1/3) = 2/3 m. To find out how much is left, subtract:
3/4 - 2/3
Common denominator is 12:
3/4 = 9/12 and 2/3 = 8/12
9/12 - 8/12 = 1/12
There is 1/12 of a meter left.
