<span>To subtract 3 3/8 from 5 1/2,
by turning into fractions
</span><span>[(5x2)+1]/2 = 11/2
</span><span>[(3x8)+3]/8 = 27/8
</span><span> 11/2 - 27/8
</span>To subtract fractions, your denominator needs to have the same number. so multiply it by 4
 44/8 - 27/8 = (44-27)/8 = 17/8.
17 / 8 pounds or 2 and 1/8 because 17 / 8 = 2 remainder 1. 
<span>In terms of weight that is 2.125 pounds.</span>

Answer:

Option (1) will be the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates of the points A and B lying on the line f are (0, 2) and (2, 0) respectively.

Slope of the line f,

m_{1}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

m_{1}=\frac{2-0}{0-2}

m_{1}=-1

After dilation of line f by a scale factor of 2, coordinates of A' and B' will be,

Rule for dilation,

(x, y) → (kx, ky)

Where k = scale factor

A(0, 2) → A'(0, 4)

B(2, 0) → B'(4, 0)

Slope of line f',

m_{2}=\frac{0-4}{4-0}

m_{2}=-1

Since, m_{1}=m_{2}=-1

Therefore, both the lines f and f' will be parallel.

Option (1) will be the answer.

To rent a moving truck there is a fee of $150 and each mile you drive costs an extra $1.75 per mile, where R(x) is the total cos
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

$318

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we want to set up an equation to solve this problem by using the information given to us. We're asked for the total cost, so we want one side of the equation to be R(x)=. Then, we know that the initial cost is $150, no matter how many miles we drive. We are also told that each mile is $1.75.

R(x)=150+1.75x

The problem tells us that we are driving 96 miles, so we can plug in 96 for x and solve.

R(x)=150+1.75(96)\\R(x)=150+168\\R(x)=318

The total cost of the rental is going to $318.

Hope this helps!
