<u>Answer:</u>

<h2>52% were jelly beans!</h2>

<u>Explanation</u><u>:</u>

<em>Cross </em><em>multiply </em><em>the </em><em>following:</em>

<em>\frac{x}{100}  =  \frac{71.76}{138}</em>

<em>x </em><em>times </em><em>1</em><em>3</em><em>8</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>3</em><em>8</em><em>x</em>

<em>100 </em><em>times </em><em>7</em><em>1</em><em>.</em><em>7</em><em>6</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>7</em><em>,</em><em>1</em><em>7</em><em>6</em>

<em>Divide </em><em>both </em><em>sides </em><em>by </em><em>1</em><em>3</em><em>8</em><em>:</em>

<em>\frac{138x}{138}  =  \frac{7176}{138}</em>

<h3><em>x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>5</em><em>2</em><em>%</em></h3>

Identify the equation in slope-intercept form for the line that has the given slope and contains the given point. Slope = −1/2;
taurus [48]
First you need the equation y=mx+b
you plug in x and y do find b the y intercept
-5 = -1/2*4 +b
-5 = -2 + b
b = -3 
y = -1/2x-3

State the independent variable and dependent variable and find the slope.
Rudik [331]
Time is your independent variable, and snowfall is your dependent variable.

Slope can be found by calculating ∆y/∆x:
x =  \frac{0.06 - 0.02}{3 - 1}  \\ x =   \frac{0.04}{2}  \\ x = 0.02

Snowfall will accumulate 0.02 m every hour.
