23. I know that there will be 5/12 ribbon left over. You would simply subtract 3/4 by 1/3. I don't know about the first part of this question though. (more like i don't remember)
27. I predict that Susan will get the greater quotient. If you divide the fraction 5/8 by 1/16 you would get 1/2. If you divide 5/8 by 1/32 you would get 1/4.
1/2 is greater than 1/4, which means that Susan has the greater quotient.
I hope this helps. Sorry about 23. Maybe someone else will answer.

Answer:
y = -1/3x
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of that are perpendicular lines are negative opposites of each other. If a line has a slope of 3, then a line perpendicular to it will have a slope of (-(1/3)).
Use the equation of a line in point-slope form to solve this;
y = mx + b
where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.
Substitute the slope in;
y = (-1/3)x + b
Since it passes through the origin, then it has no y-intercept, therefore the equation of the line is;
y = -1/3x

Answer:
33.3%
Step-by-step explanation:
The selling price of £42 is (1 +40%) times the total purchase price.
1.40 × purchase price = £42
purchase price = £42/1.40 = £30
The total profit is 40% of this, so is ...
£30 × 40% = £12
The purchase price of the skirt is ...
total cost - glove cost = skirt cost = £30 -3 = £27
The profit on the skirt is ...
total profit - glove profit = skirt profit = £12 -100% × £3 = £9
Then the percentage profit on the skirt is ...
skirt profit % = skirt profit / skirt cost × 100% = £9/£27 × 100% = 33.3%
The percentage profit on the cost of the skirt was 33.3%.
