Ahmad = 1/6
Barry = 1/2
Tara = 1 - 1/6 - 1/2 = 1/3
1/3 of the seashells = 76
3/3 of the seashells = 76 x 3
3/3 of the seashells = 228

Answer: They had 228 seashells altogether.

Answer:
A = 23.6 units^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the base be 8 (as shown).
Find the height of the triangle: Find the supplement of the 100 degree angle; it is (180 - 100), or 80 degrees. The side "opposite" this 80-degree angle is the height of the triangle:
height
sin 80 degrees = ---------------
6
and so the height of the triangle is h = 6 sin 80 degrees, or 5.91 units.
The area of the triangle is found using A = (1/2)(base)(height), which here amounts to:
A = (1/2)(8 units)(5.91 units), or
A = 23.64 units^2, or A = 23.6 units^2
First create the equation y=Mx+ B
B is the y intercept so when y = 0, B = -1.
Now we have y=Mx - 1
The slope is M. We can calculate this by using the formula M = (y2 -y1) / (x2 - x1)
Use the points (0, -1) and (2,3) for these values. So y2 = 3, y1 = -1, x2 = 2, x1 = 0
Plug them into the equation and solve
M = (3 + 1) / (2 - 0)
M = 4/2 = 2
Now we have the equation y = 2x - 1
Next to figure out if the points given are on the line you take the values and plug them into your equation like so: 4 = 2(-2) - 1
2(-2) - 1 does not equal 4 so this point does not fall on this line. Follow this same procedure for the next point given.
The answer is 0.04 (I hope). Here is an explanation:
