Blake measures the lengths, in inches, of 10 insects. He records the lengths of the insects on this line plot. He adds the lengt
1 answer:
Answer: 5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The x's denote the insects measured so the longest insects would be of lengths:
1³/₄ inch, 1³/₄ inch and 1¹/₂ inch.
Adding them together would require converting them to improper fractions first:
7/4, 7/4, 3/2
Pick a denominator that is both denominators' lowest common multiple = 4
Adding them:
Divide the LCM by the denominator of the fraction and multiply the result by the numerator:
= (7 + 7 + 6) / 4
= 20/4
= 5 inches

Answer:
The solution is (2,6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x-----> the number of hours to change a fuel injection unit
y-----> the number of hours to change a transmission
we know that
5x+10y=70 -----> equation A
8x+8y=64 -----> equation B
Solve the system of equations by graphing
Remember that the solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs
The solution is the point (2,6)
