If a ship has sufficient food to supply 600 passenger for 3 weeks how long would the food last for 800 passengers?

In the given problem the trick lies in the fact that the time upto which the food supply would last for 600 passengers is given in weeks and that is 3 weeks. First thing to do is convert the 3 weeks to number of days. Then it would be easy to find the number of days the same food supply would last if the number of passengers increases to 800.
Then
3 week = 21 days
Now
For 600 passengers in the ship the food supply will last for = 21 days
then
For 800 passengers in the ship the food supply will last for = (21/800) * 600
                                                                                               = (21/8) * 6
                                                                                               = 15.75 days
So the food supply  for 800 passengers would last for 15.75 days

Write the equation of a line in standard form that passes through (-2, 5) and is perpendicular to
sdas [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 2y = 8

Write this in y = mx +b form

- 2y = -x + 8

Divide the equation by (-2)

\dfrac{-2y}{-2}=\dfrac{-x}{-2}+\dfrac{8}{-2}\\\\\\y =\dfrac{1}{2}x-4

Slope = 1/2

The slope of the perpendicular line = -1/m

                                                           =\dfrac{-1}{\dfrac{1}{2}}=1*\dfrac{-2}{1} = -2

m = -2 , ( -2 , 5)

Equation: y = mx +b

Plug in m = -2 ,x = -2 and y =5

5 = (-2)*(-2) + b

5 = 4 + b

5 - 4 = b

b = 1

Equation of the line:

y = mx +b

y = -2x + 1
