Answer:

7 pies

Step-by-step explanation:

The first customer buys half of the pies (3-1/2) plus 1/2 of a pie (technically 4 pies in total) -----> there are 3 pies left.

The second customer buys half of the pies leftover (1-1/2) plus another 1/2 (technically 2 pies in total) -----> this leaves 1 pie.

The last customer buys half of the pies leftover (1/2) plus another 1/2 (technically 1 pie in total) -----> this leaves 0 pies.

Which is the reciprocal of 1 6/7
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

7/13

Step-by-step explanation:

You would first have to turn the fraction into an improper fraction to find the reciprocal of the fraction!

1 6/7 = 13/7

Reciprocal means reverse, so reverse the improper fraction of 13/7 to get 7/13!

I hope this helps you!

Using the slope and the y-intercept, graph the line represented by the following equation. Then select the correct graph. 3y = 2
Over [174]
First, let's write the given equation in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

In slope-intercept form, the slope of the line is m, and the y-intercept is b. The slope is a measure of how steep the graph is at any point and is found by doing rise over run. This means the change in y values divided by the change in x values. Next, y-intercept is just where the graph crosses the y axis.

All we need to do to get the equation in slope-intercept form is to divide each term by 3. This will isolate the y.

y= \frac{2}{3}x-2

As you can see, the slope of the line is 2/3, and the y-intercept is -2.

To graph the line, plot a point at (0,-2). This is the point where the graph crosses the y axis. Then from that point, count up two and right 3. Plot a point here as well. Lastly, connect the two points with a straight line.

See attached picture for the graph.

you have set a goal to save $300 by the end of the year. if you have already saved 52% of your goal, how much more money do you
marin [14]

Answer:

144

Step-by-step explanation:

100% of 300 is 300

50% of 300 is 150

2% of 100 = 2 which means that 2% of 300 = 6

150+6 = 156

300-156 = 144

Lubov Fominskaja [6]
From the order you gave me in the question the answer is equation number 
4 1 3 2 6 5
Those are the equation numbers in ascending order based on their radius lengths
