Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assume this is a straight line, so we can use the basic form of a straight line equation: y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x is zero).
The slope is the rate of change of the line, and can be calculated by dividing the change in y by the change in x between any two points. Here: (0,4) and (1,2)
The change in y is known as the "Rise." Going from (0,4) to (1,2), we have a change of -2:
(2 - 4) = -2 This is the Rise (Final minus the initial values)
X changes by 1 (1-0) = 1 (Final minus the initial values)
Rise/Run = -2/1 or -2
The slope, m, is -2. Values of y decrease as x increases.
The equation becomes y = -2x+b
The value of b must be such it forces the line to go between the two points. We can calculate b by i=using one of the two points in out unfinished equation and solve for b. I'll pick (1,2).
y = -2x+b
2 = -2*(1) + b
b = 4
The equation becomes y=-2x+4
One foot is equivalent to 12 inches. If we get 1/3 of 12 inches, then it would be 4 inches. Given that the length of the string is 22 feet long, we first have to multiply 22 by 12 and we get 264 inches. Then divide this one by 4, so the number of pieces there will be is 66. Hope this answers your question.
Answer:
13.89%
Step-by-step explanation:
First lets find all possibilities of two dice being thrown, we can do this by finding a simple dice chart online (I attached an image of one to help.)
There are 36 possibilities, and we need to find how often the two dice add together to equal eight. 6+2=8, 5+3=8, etc.
There are five 5 total times that two dice can equal eight. so 5 out of 36 times we roll two dice we'll get eight.
Type that into the ol' handy dandy calculator and we've got 0.1388888889. So... a lot of 8's, we don't need that many and we just can't have an answer with that many.
To make that number into a percentage we have to move the dot two spaces over, and round to the thousandths place (two numbers).
This would give us 13.89%, our final answer.
Hope this helped!
I used to shovel snow for $5 an hour.
If ' t ' was the number of hours I spent shoveling somebody's driveway,
then ' 5t ' was the number of dollars he owed me for the job.
' t ' didn't even have to be a whole number. It worked fine with any number.
