6 3/4 is 27/4. 12/1 ×27/4= 324/4
324/4 is simplified to 81
The case weighs 81 pounds

Hello!

To find the total weight of 12 cases, knowing that each one weighs 6 3/4 pounds, you must set up a multiplication expression:
6 3/4 * 12

Because 6 3/4 is a mixed fraction, convert it to an improper fraction to make multiplying it by 12 more convenient. To do this, multiply the whole number by the denominator and add its product to the numerator to get the numerator of the improper fraction. The denominator will remain the same. When you do that, you should get that the improper form of 6 3/4 is
27/4.

Now that you have 6 3/4 converted to an improper fraction, multiply
27/4*12

This would result in 324/4 which would simplify to 81.

Therefore, your final answer would be that 12 boxes of laundry detergent cases would be 81 pounds. :)

A line passes through the point (–7, 5) and has a slope of 1/2. Which is another point that the line passes through?

Andrej [43]

The answer to this question is (9,13). Here's how:
First thing you need to do is find the equation. You have a coordinate point and the slope. Remember a linear equation or formula is y=mx+b (m= slope and b= y-intercept)

So let's input the slope into the equation:
y=1/2x+b or y=0.5x+b
Notice how there is no b yet? That's because you need to find it. Good thing you have the coordinate points, so replace x and y with it. ( (x,y) = ( -7, 5) )

5=0.5(-7)+b
5= -3.5+b
+3.5 +3.5
b= 8.5
The equation is now y=0.5x+8.5 and with that equation you can now input it in a calculator to find which of the following coordinate points lies on. Or you can just input those points into the calculator. Which I did because I love to show my work. I have a picture of the work included and I really do hope I helped you. If not, message me. I'll be glad you to help you!

If you were a colonist in the mid-1770s would you have stood with the Patriots or the Loyalists? Write an argumentative essay in

vekshin1

Answer:

I would have stood with the patriots because British soldiers forcefully entered their homes. They also ramped up taxes over a petty war with France because they couldnt pay it themselves.

The Loyalists were brainwashed to the British king, because they were rich and privileged. So they could pay the very high taxes. This meant these guys didn't actually know how the people felt.

The British also ramped up the price of tea, which the colonists loved, just to be petty because the Patriots did not want to be taxed. Back then, the British were very petty. Now they're just jaded.

But back to the essay: The Patriots had a good cause. They wanted to move on from something chaining them down. The Loyalists did not. And I would want to happily tar some tax collectors. Wouldn't you?

Is it possible to have a triangle with 150 20 20 degrees angle and why ?

OLga [1]

No, it is not possible. The total measure of all angles in a triangle must be 180. If you add these three together, you get 190.

Consider the graph of the function f(x)=(x−2)12 below. Which statements are true about the function f(x) ? Choose all that are c

Crazy boy [7]

The correct statements regarding the function in the graph are given as follows:

B. The function does not reach a maximum value.

C The function is increasing for all values of x larger than 2.

<h3>What are the correct statements regarding the function?</h3>

The function is defined for values of x or 2 and greater, and the function is increasing until infinity(hence it does not reach a maximum value) for all these values, hence statements B and C are correct.
