Answer:

x = 60.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number

x - 54%x = 28

x - 0.54x = 28

0.46x = 28

Divide both sides by 0.46(coefficient of x)

x = 28/0.46

x = 60.86

to the nearest tenth

x = 60.9

A pizza had 9/10 left before Lucas ate 4/5 of the pizza. How much pizza is left over?
Allushta [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

always try to bring fractions you need to compare to the same denominator (bottom number).

we have 9/10 of the pizza left.

then 4/5 if the pizza are eaten.

how to compare 9/10 with 4/5 ?

by bringing 4/5 also to a fraction of 10ths.

what do I need to multiply 5 with to get 10 ?

right, 2.

since we don't want to change the overall value of the original fraction, we need to multiply both levels (numerator and denominator) by that same factor :

4/5 × 2/2 = 8/10

aha !

that we can compare with 9/10.

so, when Lucas ate 4/5 (= 8/10) of the pizza, when there was originally 9/10 left, then we have 1/10 of the pizza left.

Find the slope of the line that goes through the given points.<br> (0,8) and (- 4,0)
Ronch [10]

Answer:

slope = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 8) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, 0)

m = \frac{0-8}{-4-0} = \frac{-8}{-4} = 2
