Answer:

Yes, because when the values are substituted in, the equation becomes a true statement

Step-by-step explanation:

plug in the values for x and y and see if the equation makes sense

x=3

y=11

1/3(3)+11=12

1+11=12

12=12

Since the above equation is true, the point is a solution for the linear equation.

Ray delivered 3/8 of the newspapers on his route in the first hour and 4/5 of the rest in the second hour what fraction of the n

Temka [501]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of Newspapers be x

Number of newspapers delivered in first hour of his route= $\frac{3}{8}$ of x

Total number of newspapers delivered in first hour= $\frac{3}{8}$ x

Number of newspapers left= x- $\frac{3x}{8}$

Number of newspapers left= $\frac{8x-3x}{8}$

Number of newspapers left= $\frac{5x}{8}$

Number of newspapers delivered in second hour=4/5 of $\frac{5x}{8}$

Number of newspapers delivered in second hour= $\frac{x}{2}$

Fraction of newspapers delivered in second hour is= $\frac{1}{2}$

Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{2}$
