The easiest way to find this answer is to work through it step by step.
She starts with 75 pieces.
She eats 5 pieces, so the # of pieces goes down from 75 to 75-5 = 70.
So she has 70 pieces left to put in the bags.
She puts the same amount in each of 10 bags... so we divide 70 by 10 to find the # of pieces in each bag.
70 divided by 10 is 7.
She put 7 pieces in each bag.
Answer: 15:42or simplified 5:14
Step-by-step explanation:
15 angelfish to 42 guppies
15/3= 5
42/3=14
so the ratio of 15:42 is equal to 5:14
Answer:
y = (3/4)x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b where (x, y) is a point on the linear graph, m is the slope (rise/run), and b is the y-intercept (the y-value at which the graph passes through the y-axis).
Looking at the graph, we can see that the point at which the line crosses the y-axis is (0, 2) which makes it the y-intercept. Thus, the b in the slope-intercept form is 2.
Next, we are looking for the slope of the line. To do this, we can calculate the rise/run of the line by choosing to points on it. Since we already have the point (0, 2), we just need one more.
For example, the point (-4, -1) can be used. The slope can be found by ((y-y)/(x-x)) in which the first y and x values correspond with the first point and that of the second correspond with the second set. So in this case, m = (2-(-1))/(0-(-4)) = 3/4
Plugging in the calculated m and b value in the slope intercept equation, we get y = (3/4)x + 2
