Answer:

63/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sails yard in 8 3/4 minutes= X

7 1/2 yards sails= 4 1/6 minutes

X = 8 3/4 minutes

Let us Convert the fraction to improper fraction

4 1/6 minutes= 25/6 minutes

8 3/4 minutes= 35/4 minutes

7 1/2 yards sails= 15/2 sails yard

Then

15/2 yards sails= 25/6 minutes

X = 35/4 minutes

If we cross multiply

25/6 X = 15/2 × 35/4

25/6 X =525/8

6 × 525= (25× 8)X

3150= 200X

X= 3150/200

X=63/4

How do you find the equation for the line that is parallel to the line y=2/3x-7 and passes through the point (3,-1)

Debora [2.8K]

parallel lines have the same exact slope hmmm what's the slope of y = 2/3x-7 anyway? well, low and behold, is already in slope-intercept form, therefore

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{slope-intercept form}}{y=\stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{2}{3}}x-7}$ .

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 2/3, and runs through 3, -1.

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1})~\hspace{7em} slope = m\implies \cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-(-1)=\cfrac{2}{3}(x-3) \\\\\\ y+1=\cfrac{2}{3}x-2\implies y=\cfrac{2}{3}x-3$

Two dice are rolled, find the probability that the sum is less than 13

Alex777 [14]

100% of the rolls would be less than 13. The highest number on one die is 6, so even if you roll 2 dice the sum of both dice will always be lower than 13.
It's a 1:1 probablility.

Since area is length times width, it would be the factors of the equation for the area.
X2+11x+28 factors into...
Length is x+7 so...
Width is x+4
