Answer:

29 / 5 = 5.8

Step-by-step explanation:

To round a mixed number to the nearest whole number, simply look at the fraction part.

If the fraction is more than one half, round up.

If this fraction is less than one half, round down.

In the number 29 1/5, 1/5 is LESS than one half, so we round down.

In the number 4 6/7, is 6/7 is MORE than one half, so we round up.

29 1/5 rounded to the nearest whole number is 29.

4 6/7 rounded to the nearest whole number is 7.

And, 29/7 = 5.8

Therefore, the estimated quotient is 5.8.

the slope of a line passing through h (-2, 5) is -3/4. Which ordered pair represents a point on this line?

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope of the given points with the point (- 2, 5 )

If the slope is - $\frac{3}{4}$ then the point is on the line

Calculate slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, - 1)

m = $\frac{-1-5}{6+2}$ = $\frac{-6}{8}$ = - $\frac{3}{4}$ ← point (6, - 1) is on the line

Repeat with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 8)

m = $\frac{8-5}{2+2}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$ ← point (2, 8) is not on the line

Repeat with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 5, 1)

m = $\frac{1-5}{-5+2}$ = $\frac{-4}{-3}$ = $\frac{4}{3}$ ← point (- 5, 1) is not on the line

Repeat with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 1)

m = $\frac{1-5}{1+2}$ = - $\frac{4}{3}$ ← point (1, 1) is not on the line

Thus the point on the line is (6, - 1 ) → A

Help me please it hardddd

iogann1982 [59]

There are a total 40 cars

and there is x yellow cars

and there are nine times as much white cars (9x white cars) lol

so x+9x=40

simplify 10x=40

divide both sides by ten 10x/10=40/10

x=4

we are looking for the number of WHITE cars sooo we multiply by 9-

9x=36

how is this "hardddd" no offence*

sorry im a mean person

11. The entry fee to the fair is $4. Each ride requires a ticket that costs $0.50. Heidi spent a total of

masya89 [10]

Answer:

16 ride tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original entry fee is $4 so you can subtract that from 12. Now you have $8. So you would double 8 since $0.50 is half of $1. 8x2 is 16.

Which choices are equivalent to the exponential expression below? Check all that apply. (4/5)^3

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

A, C, D

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember: Exponents are simply repeated multiplication.

The exponent determines how many times to multiply the base number by itself.

$(\frac{4}{5} )^3=\frac{4}{5} *\frac{4}{5} *\frac{4}{5} =\frac{64}{25}$

Option 'A' and 'C' apply.

Option D applies because:

$\frac{4^3}{5^3} =\frac{64}{125}$
