Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Each fish bowl to have pebbles of weight equivalent to = \frac{1}{6}

Total pounds of pebbles that Timothy can use = 2\frac{1}{3}

To find:

The greatest value of Total number of fish bowls that Timothy can fill ?

Solution:

First of all, we need to convert mixed fraction into a fractional number and then we also need to see division of two fractions.

Formula:

1. \ p\dfrac{q}{r} = \dfrac{p\times r+q}{r}\\2. \ \dfrac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}d}=\dfrac{a\times d}{b\times c}

Now, the given mixed fraction can be converted to fractional number as:

2\dfrac{1}{3} = \dfrac{2\times 3+1}{3} = \dfrac{7}{3}

Now, To find the total number of fish bowls that can be filled, we need to divide the total number of pounds with number of pounds of pebbles in each fish bowl.

So, the answer is:

\dfrac{\frac{7}{3}}{\frac{1}{6}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{7\times 6}{3\times 1}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{42}{3}\\\Rightarrow \bold{14}

<em>14</em> number of fish bowls can be filled.

a rectangular blue tile has a length of 4.25 inches and a width of 6.75 inches. a similar tile has a length of 12.75 inches.what
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The width of the red tile would be 2.25 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given blue tile has a length of 4.25 inches, and a width of 6.75inches.

Also, length of similar tile is 12.75 inches.

Let us assume x as the width of red tile.

It is given in the question that both tiles are similar.

So, their area will be the same.

Area of blue tile would be 4.25\times 6.75=28.6875\ inch^2

Area of red tile would be 12.75\times x

The area of blue tile would be equal to area of red tile.

28.6875=12.75\times x

\frac{28.6875}{12.75}=x\\\\x=2.25

So, the width of the red tile would be 2.25 inches.

Answer: the x-intercept is (-10,0), the y-intercept is (0,45/2)

Explanation:

First, we need to determine the function describing the line.

From the table, it is obvious that the y values increase by 9 every increase of 4 of the x values. So, the slope is 9/4 and the function looks like this:

y = m x+ b = \frac{9}{4}x + b

with the y-intercept (or bias) b still unknown. This can be determined by using one of the point from the table, like so:

-18 = \frac{9}{4}\cdot 2+b\\\implies b = -18 -\frac{9}{2}=\frac{45}{2}\\y = \frac{9}{4}x+\frac{45}{2}

The above function form makes it easy to read off the y-intercept, which is (0,45/2) or (0,22.5). The x-intercept is obtained by setting y = 0 and solving for x:

y = \frac{9}{4}x+\frac{45}{2}\\0 = \frac{9}{4}x+\frac{45}{2}\\-\frac{45}{2}=\frac{9}{4}x\\x = -10

The x-intercept is (-10,0)
