It failed to bring about peace and only angered King George III
The Olive Branch petition was a final attempt by the colonists to avoid going to war with Britain. The purpose was to appease King George III and prevent the conflict between the colonies and Britain from escalating into a full blown war. However, the king refused to read it. And then came the war.
There are a few ways you can go about solving this question. One way is to use the given information to find how many tons of flour can be processed in one hour. If 27 tons can be processed in 3 hours, we can do 27 divided by 3 to find that 9 tons of flour can be processed per hour. Then, if we want to see how many tons of flour can be processed in 8 hours, we can multiply 9 tons by 8 hours to get a total of 72 tons of flour.
I hope this helps.
Answer:
The answer to your question is y = 2x + 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Original line y = -(1/2)x + 5
Point (-4, 3)
Process
1.- Get the slope of the new line
- Slope of the original line = -1/2
If the lines are perpendicular, the slopes must be reciprocal
-1/2 reciprocal = 2
2.- Get the equation of the new line
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 3 = 2(x + 4)
- Simplification
y - 3 = 2x + 8
- Solve for y
y = 2x + 8 + 3
y = 2x + 11
To get 51/60 courted to decimal you simply divided 51 by 60
