One particularly large ant hill found in 1997 measured 40 inches wide at the base and 18 inches high. What was the slope of the

Answer: The slope of the ant hill is 18/20 or 0.9.

For the slope, we need to put the vertical change over the horizontal change. In this case, the vertical change of the ant hill is 18.

Now for the horizontal change, the entire base is 40. However, we only need half of that because we need the distance from the outside to the middle where the height is. Half of 40 is 20.

Therefore, the slope is up 18 over 20. Or 18/20 = 0.9.

Answer: 18 over 20 or 0.9

Step-by-step explanation: You know that 18 is the height and 40 is the base, so put 18 over 40. Since you only need to know the base from the end to the middle, you need half which is 20. Thus, the answer is 18 over 40.

When Mrs. Stewart makes pie dough, she uses 2/3 cup of shortening for every 2 1/2 cups of flour which proportion could be used t
n200080 [17]

Answer:

She will use the ratio shortening to flour as 4 : 15

Step-by-step explanation:

When Mrs. Stewart makes pie dough, she uses \dfrac{2}{3} cups of shortening for every 2\dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{5}{2} cups of flour.

So, for each \dfrac{2}{3} cup of shortening she uses \dfrac{5}{2} cups of flour.

Then, the ratio of shortening to flour in the mixture of pie dough will be  

\dfrac{\dfrac{2}{3} }{\dfrac{5}{2} } = \dfrac{4}{15} i.e. 4 : 15.

Therefore, she will use the ratio shortening to flour as 4 : 15 to find the amount of flour she needs when she uses 5 cups of shortening. (Answer)

Write an equation of the line that passes through (2,-4) and (0,4)
LenKa [72]

Answer:

step 1. y - y1 = m(x - x1). this is the equation given a point and a slope.

step 2. find the slope m. m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (4 - (-4))/(0 - 2) = 8/-2 = -4.

step 3. y - (-4) = -4(x - 2) ; y + 4 = -4x + 8.

step 4. y = -4x + 4.

A new club sent out 288 coupons to boost sales for next year's memberships. They provided 5 times as many to potential members t
Aliun [14]

Answer:

D. 48

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't know the numbers of coupons sent to existing members and to potential members, but we know a relationship between the number.

They sent 5 times as many coupons to potential members as they did to existing members.

Let x = number of coupons sent to existing members.

Then 5x = number of coupons sent to potential members.

The total number of coupons sent was x + 5x = 6x

The total number of coupons sent was 288.

Therefore, 6x must equal 288 giving us an equation with a single variable.

6x = 288

x = 48

Answer: 48
