Answer:

A family was running late to a party. When they came, there was a fifth of the cake left. If there are 4 members of the family, what fraction of the cake would each person get?

one fifth = 1/5

(1/5) / 4 family members = 1/20 of the cake for each person

1/5 & 4
1/5 divided by 4 =?
= 1/5 x 1/4
= 1/20
1/20 in decimal form is 0.05

The graph shows the solution to which system of equations?

Sedaia [141]

So let's start by guesstimating the slopes:
the green line has a slope close to -x, but more negative than that, possibly -2; the pink line has a slope close to +x, but higher towards +2.

Next let's look at the solution: the two lines intersect at the point (1, -1).
**you could just simple plug that x (1) into all the equations, but let's rule out answers anyway. ;)

A) is incorrect because the slopes of -1 and +1 are off from out predicted -2 and +2
B) is incorrect because of a similar reason, the slopes of +3 and +1 don't make any sense
C) Ooh, we do have a +2 and -2 for the slopes, and... violà! plug in 1 for the x's and we get -1 for the y in both equations
D) slopes are closer than in A and B, but plugging in 1 doesn't get us -1

So the correct answer is:
C) y = 2x - 3 and y = −2x + 1

Whats the GFC of 18 , 60 ?

kirill [66]

Answer:

If you are reffering to GCF then the GCF would be explained like this

Find the prime factorization of 18

18 = 2 × 3 × 3

Find the prime factorization of 60

60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5

To find the gcf, multiply all the prime factors common to both numbers:

Therefore, GCF = 2 × 3

GCF = 6

Explain what happens when you round 4.999 to the nearest tenth

Reptile [31]

It would round to 5 because 4.999 is closer to 5 than a decimal (idk if that's 100%)

Katie invests $5,000 in an account earning 4% interest, compounded annually for 5 years. Two years after Katie's initial investm

Lyrx [107]

Emily earned $166 more in her account than Katie.

We use the compound interest formula for both of these:

$A=p(1+r)^t$

For Katie's deposit:
$A=5000(1+0.04)^5=5000(1.04)^5 = 6083.26$

This gives Katie 6083.26-5000 = 1083.26 in interest (1083, to the nearest dollar).

For Emily's deposit:
$A=10000(1+0.04)^3=10000(1.04)^3=11248.64$

This means she earned 11248.64-10000=1248.64 in interest (1249, to the nearest dollar).

The difference in interest is given by 1249-1083=166
