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

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-1, 6) (−1,6) and (-1, -5) (−1,−5)
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write the equation of the line by finding the slope between the points and substitute it with a point into the point slope form.

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{6--5}{-1--1} =\frac{11}{0} = und

These points have a slope which is undefined. This means it is a vertical line that crosses through the x-axis at the x-coordinate of both points -1. The equation is x = -1.

Deon plans to ride a 20-mi bicycle trail. If his average speed is 10 mi/h, how many hours will the ride take? Part 1: Solve the
pentagon [3]

Answer:

The ride will take 2 h

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Deon plans to ride a 20-mi bicycle trail, that is the total distance he plans to cover is 20-mi

Distance, d = 20 mi

Also, his average speed is 10 mi/h

rate of speed, r = 10 mi/h

To determine how many hours the ride will take,

From the formula,

d = rt

where

d is the distance covered

r is the average rate of speed

and t is the time.

We can solve for t, such

d = rt becomes

t = d/r

Now, from the question

d = 20 mi

r = 10 mi/h

∴ t = (20 mi) / (10 mi/h)

t = 2 h

Hence, the ride will take 2 h (hours)

Solve the following quadratic equation:
Advocard [28]

Answer:

-3.5 or -6

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2+19x+40=-2

2x^2+19x+40+2=0

2x^2+19x+42=0

2x^2+(12+7)x+42=0

2x^2+12x+7x+42=0

2x(x+6)+7(x+6)=0

(x+6)(2x+7)=0

either,

x+6=0

x=-6

or,

2x+7=0

2x=-7

x=-7/2

x=-3.5
