Answer:

0.4 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

In a day

Miguel is to feed Chester ,

Chester can eat 3/4 of an ounce for each pound of body weight.

Chester weighs 6.8 pounds

Hence:

1 pound = 3/4 ounce

6.8 pounds = x ounces

Cross Multiply

x = 6.8 × (3/4) ounces

x = 5.1 ounces

Chester is to be fed 5.1 ounces of food each day.

The amount of food left after 1 day

= 5.5 ounces - 5.1 ounces

= 0.4 ounces

Hence, 0.4 ounces of food is left after 1 day

What is the slope–intercept form of the equation 4x − 2y = 9?
adelina 88 [10]
Hey there! :D

Slope intercept form: y=mx+b

4x-2y=9

Add 2y to the other side. 

4x=9+2y

Subtract 9 on both sides.

4x-9=2y

Flip the equation over. 

2y=4x-9 <== slope intercept form 

I hope this helps!

What is the point slope form of a line with slope 2 that contains the point (1, -1)
mezya [45]
Point slope form is y - y1 = m(x-x1)

So,

y - (-1) = 2(x - 1)
y + 1 = 2x -2 or y + 1 = 2(x -1)

Hope this helps :)
