SO first off you wanna make both numbers into mix factions. 6 8/9 will be 62/9 and 2 1/2 will be 5/2. Next you wanna multiply straight across. so now the answe should be 310/18 then simply for a mixed number. you can figure that out
Answer:
A. y = 1.5m + 7
B. at 7 months the baby will weigh 17.5 pounds
C. Since the baby is born weighing 7 pounds, at 0 months he will weigh 7 pounds. This tells us that the y-intercept will be seven. And since the baby is gaining 1.5 pounds every month, this means that the slope will be 1.5 and m will be the x of our y = mx + b equation. For part B, we simply plug in 7 to m and solve by multiplying 1.5 and 7 to get 10.5, then adding 7 to get 17.5.
