Answer: 16 and one third lbs

7/3 is the amount of flour needed for one loaf, so you multiply that by 7

The answer is 49/3, or 16 and one third

Answer:

16 1/3 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a ratio to solve

7 lbs x lbs

-------------- = -------------

3 loaves 7 loaves

Using cross products

7 * 7 = 3x

49 = 3x

Divide each side by 3

49/3 = 3x/3

16 1/3 lbs

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-4, -2) and (8, 1)? Put your answer in fully reduced form.

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

y=1/4x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(1-(-2))/(8-(-4))

m=(1+2)/(8+4)

m=3/12

m=1/4

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-2)=1/4(x-(-4))

y+2=1/4(x+4)

y=1/4x+4/4-2

y=1/4x+1-2

y=1/4x-1
