As this is already in its simplest form, I believe the only other expression is 4*X +9
Two persons have to share a single segment
X = 3.5.....this is a vertical line that never crosses the y axis. It crosses the x axis at 3.5......so the x int is : (3.5,0)
y = -6.5...this is a horizontal line which never crosses the x axis. It crosses the y axis at -6.5....so the y int is (0,-6.5)
Divide.
1/3 / 5
Or multiply by the reciprocal of 5:
1/3 * 1/5 = 1/15
Therefore 1/15 cup of flour is used to make 1 dinner roll.
We can set up a proportion:
5/1/3 = x/5 2/3
Multiply 5 2/3 to both sides:
28 1/3 / 1/3 = x
85 = x
So 85 rolls can be made with 5 2/3 cups of flour.
Your answer is 250,000. There are two ways to do this problem.
1) Solve 500/4 to find out how many sheets of paper you get per every dollar. — Your answer is 125 sheets for $1. Then you multiply that answer by 2000, and get 250,000. Which means you get 250,000 sheets of paper for $2000.
2) You can divide 2000 by 4 & that gets you 500, you can then multiply that by 500 & you will get 250,000.
Hope this helps.
