Answer:

<em> y = 4.25x</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

After 2 week he has used 8 1/2 cups of dog food after 5 week he has used 21 1/4 cups, we can write this in coordinate form (x, y) where;

y is the amount of dog food

x is the time in weeks

The coordinates are (2, 8 1/2) and (5, 21 1/4)

get the slope m:

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

m = (21 1/4 - 8 1/2)/5-2

m = (85/4-17/2)/3

m = (85-34/4)/3

m = 51/12

m = 4.25

Get the intercept c:

Substitute any of the points say (2, 17/2) and m = 51/12 into the equation

y = mx+c

17/2 = 51/12(2) + c

17/2 = 51/6 + c

c = 17/2 - 51/6

c = 51-51/6

c = 0

Get the required equation:

substitute m - 4.25 and c = 0 into y = mx+c

y = 4.25x + 0

<em>Hence the required equation is y = 4.25x</em>

<em></em>

Las fracciones que tienen denominador 10, 100, 1000, etc las llamamos fracciones decimales y a su vez las podemos escribir como
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

las fracciones decimales son:

21/10 = 2,1

439/100 = 4,39

34/10 = 3,4

35/1000 = 0,035

851 / 1000 = 0,851

Step-by-step explanation:

Toda fraccion cuyo denominador (el numero de abajo) es multiplo de 10 es considerada una fraccion decimal. No importa si el numerador es mayor al denominador. Justamente el sistema decimal fue concebido para facilitar la multiplicacion y division de los numeros por algun multiplo de 10.
