Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
8 because 2 and 2/3 times 3 equals 8/3 times 3 and the threes cancel out and there is a 8 left.
Answer:
There will be 916 ants alive after 4 months.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Let's change the percentage to a decimal by dividing by a 100.
6.5% / 100 = .065
Step 2
So, for the first month we will multiply the initial amount of ants by .065 and this will give us the number of ants that die.
1200 * .065 = 78
This means that after the first month, 1200 - 78 = 1122 ants will be alive.
Step 3
Now for the second month: 1122 * .065 = 72.93 (rounded to 73)
1122 - 73 = 1049 ants will be alive
Step 4
For the third month 1049 * .065 = 68.185 (rounded to 68)
1049 - 68 = 981 ants will be alive
Step 5
For the fourth month 981 * .065 = 63.765 (rounded to 64)
981 - 64 = 916 ants will be alive
Hope this helps!
Solving <span>8x-5y=10 for y helps us to identify the y-intercept:
-5y = -8x + 10. Dividing both sides by -5, we get (8/5)x -2. Therefore, y = (8/5)x - 2; the y-intercept is (0,-2).
The equation </span><span>-6x-7y=-6 can be solved for its slope in the same manner.
7y = -6x + 6; then y = (-6/7)x + 6/7. Its slope is -7/6. A line perpendicular to this line has slope equal to the negative reciprocal of -7/6, which is 6/7.
So, using the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b becomes y = (6/7)x -2.</span>
