The distance a coiled spring stretches varies directly with the amount of weight hanging on the spring. If a spring stretches 2

Answer:

5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance a coiled spring stretches varies directly with the amount of weight hanging on the spring.

Distance = D

Weight = W

Hence:

D ∝ W

D = kW

Where k is constant of proportionality

Step 1

We solve for k

If a spring stretches 2 cm when a 30 gram weight is hung from it.

2 = 30k

k = 2/30

k = 1/15

Step 2

how far will it stretch when a 75 gram weight is hung from the spring?

D = kW

We are solving for D

k = 1/15

D = 1/15 × 75

D = 5 cm

The spring would stretch 5cm with a weight of 75 gram.

How do you get the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-intercept form?​
Igoryamba

Answer:

y= -2/5 x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

So the equation is y=mx+b. Where m=slope and b=y-intercept. To find b, you would see at what point does the line cross the y axis. That would be at -4 so, -4 would be the b or y-intercept. To find m, you would take two points on the line and use this equation:

m=(y2 - y1 )/(x2 - x1)

If you were using the points, (-10,0) and (0, -4) the equation would be:

m=(-4-0) / (0+10)

So, m= -2/5

The equation of the line would end up being:

y= -2/5 x -4

Find the set of outcomes that occur when we flip 3 coins and obtain at least two tails.
Vikentia [17]
First, I would show all the outcomes possible. To determine the number of the total outcomes, you use the formula: rⁿ, where r is the number of outcomes in 1 flip, and n is the number of lips. Thus, 2³ = 8 outcomes. These outcomes are:

1. HHH
2. TTT
3. HHT
<em>4. HTT</em>
5. HTH
6. THH
<em>7. TTH</em>
<em>8. THT</em>

From the given outcomes, there are <em>3 outcomes</em> that has at least two tails. These are the ones in bold characters.

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Her monthly paycheck was 120 dollars, because thats how much she earned that month. If she saved 48 dollars, then the percentage of the paycheck she saved is the percent of 120 that is 48 dollars, or 48/120. Simplifying, we have 2/5, (because you can divide both the top and the bottom by 24), and 2/5 is equal to 40%

How do you write 70% as a fraction in simplest form ?
alexdok [17]
70% equals to 70/100 in fraction form.
But, you need to write it in simplest form. so, divide both of them from 10 'cause they both can divide completely by it.
70/100 = 7/10
so, your answer is 7/10
