A cafe sells puffs. 5/9 are beef and 1/3 are chicken. The remaining 18 are tuna. Calculate 1. What fraction of the puffs are tun

Ksivusya [100]

Let n be the total number of puffs. Now we can write:
$n=\frac{5}{9}n+\frac{1}{3}n+18$
Adding the fractional value of n, we get:
$n=\frac{5+3}{9}n+18$
Simplifying and rearranging gives us:
$n-\frac{8}{9}n=18$
Therefore we can simplify to get:
$\frac{1}{9}n=18$
and finally
$n=18\times9=?$
The fraction of the puff that are tuna is found from:
$\frac{18}{18\times9}=\frac{1}{9}$

What is the slope of the line that goes through (2, 5) and (-6, -2) ?

alexira [117]

Answer:
slope = 7/8

Explanation:
Slope of the line can be calculated using the following equation:
slope = $\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

The two points given are:
(2,5) representing (x1 , y1)
(-6,-2) representing (x2 , y2)

Substitute with the points in the above equation to get the slope as follows:
slope = $\frac{-2 - 5}{-6 - 2}$ = 7/8

Hope this helps :)
