<u>Answer</u>
B(18/5,0)
<u>Explanation</u>
First we find the coordinates of C;
C (x, y) = [(-3+7)/2, (2+6)/2]
= (2, 4)
Find the equation of CD.
slope = (6-2)/(7--3)
= 4/10 = 2/5
slope of CD = -5/2
-5/2 = (y - 4)/(x - 2)
-5/2(x - 2) = y - 4
(-5/2) x + 5 = y - 4
y = (-5/2)x + 9
For the x-intercept y = 0
∴ y = (-5/2)x + 9
0 = (-5/2)x + 9
5/2 x = 9
x = 2/5 × 9
= 18/5
x-intercept = (18/5, 0)
I think in the first sentence, that should have been 3/4 instead of 34. Total amount of steak bought (lb)
total amount = (3/4 lb/steak)(12 steak) = 9 lb
To find the total amount that Silvia spends for each pound of steak, we divide $90 by 9 and that will give us an answer of $10.
What are you supposed to be doing
Item A and B are in decimal format, convert Item C to decimal by changing the fraction to a decimal by dividing 11 by 16:
11 / 16 = 0.6875
This makes Item C 3.6875
Now you have the 3 items as decimal format now put them in order from smallest to largest:
3.65, 3.6875, 4.1
Item A, Item C, Item B
