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!
Answer:
120, 114, 126
Step-by-step explanation:
Since these are all exterior angles, they will all always add up to 360°. Since we know this, you can set up an equation and it would be x+(x+6)+114=360. When added you get 2x+120=360. Now subtract 120 on each side to get 2x equals 240. Then you divide by 2 and get that x is 120. Now all you have to do is plug x into the equations for the angles so they would be 120, 114, and 120+6 so 126. Now you have 120,114,and 126 as your angles. To check, just add all the angle measurements up and it should equal 360.
Answer:
The equation is;
4y = 7x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The general equation of a straight line is;
y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(x1,y1) = (2,3)
(x2,y2) = (-2,-4)
m = (-4-3)/(-2-2) = -7/-4 = 7/4
So we have the equation as;
y = 7x/4 + b
To
get the value of b, we will substitute any of the points (let us use 2,3)
We simply substitute 2 for x and 3 for y
We have this as:
3= 7(2)/4 + b
3 = 7/2 + b
b = 3-7/2 = -1/2
So we have the equation as;
y = 7x/4 + 1/2
multiply through by 4
4y = 7x + 2
Let
be the number of hours that the waitress works in the evening.
We know for our problem that she works
in the afternoon and that she works <span>1.75 hours less in the afternoon than in the evening, so:
</span>
<span>Since </span>
, we can rewrite our expression:
We can conclude that she works 3.375 hours in the evening, or expressed as a mixed fraction:
hours.
Three million, one hundred and fifty two thousand, three hundred and eight.
