To figure out who is taller, we can take each mixed number and find a common denominator.

5/16 (x3) 15/48
7/24 (x2) 14/48

This tells us that Ben is taller because Marcus is shorter than him by 1/48.

Answer:

Ben is taller than Marcus

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of Marcus = 5\frac{7}{24}feet

To write this mixed fraction in decimal the we need to split it and add the two terms-

5\frac{7}{24} = 5 + \frac{7}{24} = 5 + 0.291 = 5.291

∴Height of Marcus = 5.291feet

Height of Ben = 5\frac{5}{16}feet

Similarly we can write this also in decimal as-

5\frac{5}{16} = 5 + \frac{5}{16} = 5 + 0.313= 5.313

∴Height of Ben= 5.313feet

∴ Ben is taller than Marcus

Alekssandra [29.7K]

It is given in the question that

Ms. Velez will use both x gray bricks and y red bricks to build a wall around her garden. Gray bricks cost $0.45 each and red bricks cost $0.58 each. She can spend up to $200 on her project, and wants the number of red bricks to be less than half the number of gray bricks.

Maximum she can spend is $200. That is

0.45x + 0.58y \leq 200&#10;\\  y< \frac{1}{2} x

And

x\geq 0 , y \geq 0

And that's the required inequalities .

Write an equation of the line that passes through (−1,3) and is parallel to the line y=2x+2.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The equation of the line that passes through (−1,3) and is parallel to the line y = 2x + 2 in slope intercept form is y = 2x + 5

<h3><u>Solution</u>:</h3>

Given that line passes through (-1, 3) and parallel to line y = 2x + 2

We have to find the equation of the line

Let us first find the slope of the line

<em><u>The slope intercept form of line is given as:</u></em>

y = mx + c  ---- eqn 1

where "m" is the slope of the line and "c" is the y-intercept

Comparing the given line equation y = 2x + 2 with y = mx + c,

We get slope "m" = 2

The slope of parallel lines are equal

Hence slope of the line which is parallel to y = 2x + 2 is also 2

Now let us find the equation of line with slope "m" = 2 and passes through point (-1, 3)

Substitute (x, y) = (-1, 3) in eqn 1 to find value of "c"

3 = 2(-1) + c

3 = -2 + c

c = 5

Now substitute "c" = 5 and m = 2 in eqn 1 to get equation of required line

y = 2x + 5

Thus the equation of line in slope intercept form is y = 2x + 5
