To solve this, you would divide the miles by the number of hours, 21 / 4
21 divided by 4 equals 5.25
You start by finding two points on the line. In this case, (-4,1) and (-2,2) will do.
To get from (-4,1) to (-2,2), you need to go “up 1, right 2” which gives you a slope of m = 1/2
Next you need the b-value, which comes from the y-intercept of (0,3). The b-value is 3.
Putting the slope and b-value into y=mx+b, you have y = 1/2 x + 3.
Answer:
Theatre C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Theatre A:
60 of the 80 seats are taken.
% seats taken = seats taken/total seats * 100
= 60/80 * 100
= 75%
Theatre B:
Total seats = number of seats taken + number of empty seats
= 42 + 18
= 60
% seats taken = seats taken/total seats * 100
= 42/60 * 100
= 70%
Theatre C:
Total seats = number of seats taken + number of empty seats
90 = X + 18
X = 72
% seats taken = seats taken/total seats * 100
= 72/90 * 100
= 80%
Theatre C with 80% of seats taken.
Greetings!
The best way to compare fractions is to find the LCM (The Lowest Common Denominator) of each of the fractions. This can be done simply by listing the multiples of the denominators.
Multiples:
3: 3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27...210,213
10:10,20,30,40,60,70,80...210,220
6: 6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48...210,216
7: 7,14,21,28,35,42,49...210,217
The LCM is 210:
3*70=210
10*21=210
6*35=210
7*30=210
Now, we must do what we do the denominators to the numerators:
1*70=70
70/210
2*21=42
42/210
1*35=35
=35/210
2*30=60
=60/210
The fraction with the largest numerator has the greatest value; In this case it 1/3 or 70/210.
Hope this helps.
