Answer:

8 walls

Step-by-step explanation:

While painting the interior of a large house, Gene is going to transfer some paint in a large 5 gallon container to a smaller bucket. Unfortunately he slips and spills 2 gallons of paint all over the floor.

The remaining amount of paint is

= 5 gallons - 2 gallons

= 3 gallons

If each wall in the house takes 9/24 of a gallon to paint, how many walls can he paint with what he has left?

Hence:

9/24 gallon = 1 Wall

3 gallons = x wall

Cross Multiply

9/24 × x = 3 × 1

x= 3 ÷ 9/24

x = 3 × 24/9

x = 8 walls

He can paint 8 walls with what is left.

Camila drove 30 miles per hour to get to her math class. what is the dependent quantity
Naya [18.7K]
Equations with Independent and Dependent Variables
 Common Core Standard: Use variables to represent two quantities in a real-world problem that change in relationship to one another; write an equation to express one quantity, thought of as the dependent variable, in terms of the other quantity, thought of as the independent variable. Analyze the relationship between the dependent and independent variables using graphs and tables, and relate these to the equation.
 Dependent variable – is a variable that changes because of the other variable or depends on the other variable
 Independent variable –is a variable that is not impacted by other variables
 Dependent and independent variables are very common in the real world
 Example: Most coaches will say that the longer a player practices a sport the better the player will be at the sport.
o The dependent variable is the player’s ability, as it relies on the length of a practice
o The independent variable is the number of hours the player practices, because the player’s ability does not
impact the amount of time the player practice

Find a slope of the line that contains each pair of points: (-2, -6) and (4, 2)
horsena [70]
The simplest way to do this is to use the formula where

\frac{y(2)-y(1)}{x(2)-x(1)} 

is equal to slope. 

(2--6)/(4--2)= 8/6. 

Hope this helps!
