Answer:

The first thing to do is to make the denominators of the fractions the same:

16 / 4 = 4.  4 X 3 = 12.

12/16.

16 / 1 = 16.  16 X 1 = 16

16/16

Now you write this out as a fraction equation:

(16/16 - 1/16) / 12/16

15/16 / 12/16

Since all you need to know is the whole number, you can easily tell that 15 / 12 is less than 2.  

Therefore, Alex is able to fill one 3/4-point containers with orange butter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find an equation for the line with the given properties. Express your answer using the general form or the slope-intercept form
Damm [24]

Answer:

y=-3x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the equation in the slope-intercept form first, put the equation in slope-point form using the information given. The slope-point form is y-(-2)=-3(x-2). Then solve for y.

Distribute -3 to (x-2),

y-(-2)=-3x+6

Then, add -2 to both sides,

y=-3x+4

This is your final answer; the slope is -3 and the y-intercept is 4. There are also a few other ways to solve but I find this the easiest.
