Answer: 9
Step-by-step explanation:
An elf ate 15 of your muffins and that was 5/8 of all of them. To get the number of muffins left goes thus:
We can first calculate the total number of muffins the person had. Let the total number of muffins be y. That means the elf ate 5/8 of y.
5/8 of y = 15
5/8 × y = 15
0.625 × y = 15
0.625y = 15
Divide both side by 0.625
0.625y/0.625 = 15/0.625
y = 24
The total amount of muffins is 24. Since the elf has eaten 15, the amount left will be: 24-15 = 9
If you're working with complex numbers, then I'm sure you're comfortable with plotting them on a complex-plane ... real part of the number along the x-axis, and imaginary part of the number along the y-axis.
When you look at it that way, your two points are simply two points on the x-y plane:
4 - i ===> (4, -1)
-2 + 3i ===> (-2, 3) .
The distance between them is
D = √ (difference in 'x')² + (difference in 'y')²
= √ (6)² + (4)²
= √ (36 + 16)
= √ (52)
= 7.211 (rounded)
X intercept: (- 1/7, 0)
Y intercept: (0, 1/4)
The answer is 113.04 should be correct...
