First, take three off it, because that will form the whole-number part:
3.92 = 3 + 0.92
Next, read off the place value of the last digit. The 2 is in the 'hundredths' column, which means that 0.92 = 92/100:
3.92 = 3 + 92/100
Finally, simplify 92/100 by dividing top and bottom by 4 to get 23/25. Then, shove it all together:
3.92 = 3 23/25
there are 0.125 cups inside 1 fluid ounces
144 / 0.125 = 1152 (divide because you are trying to figure out how many of the volumes of the mold can fit inside the 144 fluid ounces
You can fill 1152 molds with 144 fluid ounces
We have two points so we can find the gradient using y1-y2/x1-x2
gradient = 21-27/2-8
= 1
we know the form for any linear equation is y = mx + c
we have m and a point so we can substitute in point (2,21) to find c
21 = 1 x 2 + c
c = 19
therefore, the equation is y = x + 19
