Answer:
There are a total of 480 gumballs in the machine!
Step-by-step explanation:
First, identify what you know:
1) A gumball machine has 360 red gumballs.
2) The red gumballs makeup 75% of the total number of gumballs.
If 360 red gumballs if 75% of the total gumballs, that means 3/4 of the gumballs are red. Simply divide 360 by three!
360/3 = 120
So, 1/4 of the total number of gumballs in the machine, is 120 gumballs. Simply multiply 120 by 4, to find the total one!
120 x 4 = 480 total gumballs
Hope this helps! :)
If the x-intercept is 7, then the coordinate is 7 along the x-axis and 0 up the y-axis, so the coordinate is (7,0). We now have the two points (4,2) and (7,0).
You can find out the slope of any line using the general equation:
(0-2)/(7-4) = -2/3
The slope of the line is -2/3x.
So we have 2 3/4 tons.
2 tons = 4000 pounds.
3/4 = 75%
We know that 50% (or half) of 2000 is 1000.
Since we have 75%, we can take another half of 1000 and add that to our 1000.
1000/2 = 500
1000 + 500 = 1500
2 and 3/4 tons is equal to 5500 tons.
