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

<h3>Answer: (-1, 1)</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
The rotation rule we use is
The x and y coordinates step places, then the second coordinate (after the swap) changes in sign from positive to negative, or vice versa.
For example, the point (5,7) rotates to (7, -5). As another example, (2,-1) becomes (-1, -2). As another example, (-9,4) becomes (4,9).
----------------------------------
In our case, the point (-1,-1) will rotate to (-1, 1)
Note: A 270 degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin is the same as a 90 degree clockwise rotation about the origin. Refer to the diagram below.
