This question is actually a lot simpler than it seems
for a quarter think about money - a quarter is 25 cents or 1/4 of a dollar - so 1 and a quarter yard in decimal form is equivalent to 1.25
now you need to find how many 1 and a quarter yards are in 3 yards - to do this you simply divide 3 by 1.25
3/1.25 = 2.4
so julie can cut 2.4 1 and a quarter long pieces from the string

This question is a little tricky. Carla had a bill of $15, which we will add to the cost of Rob's lunch. They left a 20% tip on the TOTAL cost of both their lunches, which should equal $6. 20% is equivalent to 0.2. So, the equation is 6=0.2(x+15). In other words, 20% of the sum of Carla and Rob's lunches is 6 dollars.
Answer: 6=0.2(x+15)
Y=mx+b
parallel lines will have the same slope.
using the points (-4,6) and the slope for the parallel line -3 we can find b (the y intercept) for the line.
6 = (-3)(-4) + b
6 = 12 + b
-12 + 6 = -12 + 12 +b
-6 = b
so the line that runs through points (-4,6) and parallel to y= -3x+4 is:
y = -3x -6
