Dear SailorMars, #4's question is very convoluted so I won't show you how to do it. Luckily, I do know how to do #5 and #6. With #5, multiply 8 5/6 by two to get 17 2/3, then do 50-17 2/3 to get 32 1/3 ft of tape. With #6, add 11 1/2 and 6 4/5 to get 18.3 gallons of gas, then do 18.3-3 3/10 to get 15 gallons of gas used.
Uuuuhhhhhh I am sooooo confused as I haven’t even learned this concept yet
Answer:
The shorter piece x = 8.4 in
The longer one y = 15.6 in
Step-by-step explanation:
If we cut a string length L in to unequal pieces we get two pieces
first one with length x and the other one with length y
Let call x the smaller piece, then y = L - x will be the longer one
If x = 35 % then
x = 0,35* L and
y = L - x = L - 0,35*L ⇒ y = 0,65 L ⇒ y = 0.65*24
Now if L = 24 in
x = 0,35*24 ⇒ x = 8.4 in
and
L - x = 0.65*L ⇒ L - x = 0.65*24 y = L - x = 15.6 in
as way of verification you can add the length of the two pieces and find:
8.4 + 15.6 = 24 in
A line with a slope=0 has the same values of "y"
if we have two points.
A(x₁,y₁)
B(x₂,y₂)
the line between these two points will be horizontal o slope=0 if : y₁=y₂
answer:
A)(1,4) and (-4,4)
