Answer:

the 7th

0.007805 or  59 / 756

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the Friday that he needed more pounds, determine the number of pounds he needed per dog for each Friday.

to do this, divide the total pounds by the number of dogs

on the 14th

3/8 ÷ 35 =

3/8 x 1/35 = 3/280

on the 7th

1/2 ÷ 27 =

1/2 x 1/27 = 1/54

to determine which fraction is larger multiply each by 100 to determine its percent

3/280 x 100 = 1.071

1/54 x 100 = 1.852

1/54 is larger. Thus, more pounds was needed on Friday the 7th

the difference between these fractions should be determined  

\frac{1}{54} - \frac{3}{280}

\frac{280 - 162}{1512} = \frac{118}{1512} = 59 / 756

Mr. McKay wrote an algebra test with a total of 15 questions consisting of multiple choice and short response style questions. M
tankabanditka [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of multiple choice questions

y = number of short response questions

x + y = 15

5x + 10y = 100

=>

x + 2y = 20

let's subtract the first from the second equation :

x + 2y = 20

- x + y = 15

--------------------

0 y = 5

x + y = 15

x + 5 = 15

x = 10

to graph you need to consider both equations as linear functions. and you need to transform them into e.g. a slope intercept form : y = ax + b

a is the slope, b is the y- intercept.

x + y = 15

transforms to

y = -x + 15

this line goes e.g. through the points (0, 15) and (1, 14).

and

x + 2y = 20

transforms to

2y = -x + 20

y = -x/2 + 10

this line goes e.g through (0, 10) and (2, 9).

the crossing point of both lines is the solution and should therefore be the point (10, 5) as calculated above.

Jane read 3/8 of a book for 6 days. How many books did she read?
otez555 [7]

Hey there!

The answer to your question is 2 \frac{1}{4} books.

To solve this, we must multiply \frac{3}{8} by 6

\frac{3}{8} *\frac{6}{1}=\frac{18}{8} =2\frac{1}{4}

Hope it helps! Have a great day!
