Answer:

Convert to decimals:

1.5 and 0.75

Then, set up a proportion

1.5/0.75=x/1

proportion x/y=x/y

since the 3/4 and 1 are the same topic ( the room) we put them together.

Solve: 1.5/0.75=x

x=2

So 2 gallons

Hope this helps plz hit the crown :D

A bottle contains 255 coins. 1/3 of the coins are ?1.00. 110 of the coins are 50p coins. the rest are 20p coins. work out the to
aliina [53]

Answer:

£152.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a bottle contains 255 coins. 1/3 of the coins are  £1.00.

Let us find 1/3 of 255 to find the number of £1 coins.

\£1\text{ coins}=\frac{1}{3}\times 255

\£1\text{ coins}=85

This means we have £85.

We are also told that 110 of the coins are 50 p coins.

\text{Value of 50 p coins}=\£0.50\times 110

\text{Value of 50 p coins}=\£55

Let us figure out number of 20 p coins by subtracting the number of £1 coins and 50 p coins from 255.

\text{Number of 20 p coins}=255-(85+110)

\text{Number of 20 p coins}=255-(195)

\text{Number of 20 p coins}=60

\text{Value of 20 p coins}=\£0.20\times 60

\text{Value of 20 p coins}=\£12

Now let us find total value of the coins contained in the bottle by adding the values of £1 coins, 50 p coins and 20 p coins.

\text{The total value of the coins}=\£85+\£55+\£12

\text{The total value of the coins}=\£152

Therefore, the total value of the coins contained in the bottle is £152.

What is the slope OF THE GRAPH, not what is A slope, what is THE slope
PtichkaEL [24]

You can find the slope either by just looking at the line or using the slope formula.

#1: The slope formula is:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}       Find two points and plug it into the formula

I will use (0, 2) and (1, -1)

(0, 2) = (x₁, y₁)

(1, -1) = (x₂, y₂)

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m = \frac{2-(-1)}{0-1}   [two negatives cancel each other out and become positive]

m=\frac{2+1}{-1} =\frac{3}{-1}

m = -3

#2: To find the slope without having to do the work, you use this:

m=\frac{rise}{run}

Rise is the number of units you go up(+) or down(-) from each point

Run is the number of units you go to the right from each point

If we start at a defined/obvious point, like (0, 2), find the next point and see how many units it goes up or down and to the right. The next point is (1, -1), so from each point, you go down 3 units and to the right 1 unit. So your slope is -3/1 or -3. You can make sure the slope is right by looking at another point.

Find all zeros x^3+2x^2+4x+21
dlinn [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

note when x = - 3

(- 3)³ + 2(- 3)² + 4(- 3) + 21 = - 27 + 18 - 12 + 21 = 0

hence x = - 3 is a zero and (x + 3) is a factor and dividing gives

\frac{x^3+2x^2+4x+21}{x+3} = (x + 3)(x² - x + 7)

For zeros equate to zero

(x + 3)(x² - x + 7) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3

x² - x + 7 = 0 ← solve using quadratic formula

x = (1 ± \sqrt{1-28} ) / 2 = (1 ± 3i\sqrt{3} ) / 2

x = \frac{1}{2} ± \frac{3i\sqrt{3} }{2}

zeros are x = - 3, x = \frac{1}{2} ±\frac{3i\sqrt{3} }{2}

If f(x) is an odd function and the graph of f(x) includes points in Quadrant IV, which statement about the graph of f(x) must be
lapo4ka [179]
Answer is:
It includes points in quadrant II and it doesnt include points in quadrant I

Explanation:

For odd functions a rule is:
f(x) = -f(-x) or in other words
f(x) + f(-x) = 0

Because of this function can be in quadrants I and III or in quadrants II and IV as in pairs...
