Lilian has 42 feet of yarn. She wants to cut the yarn into 8 equal parts. How long will each part be?

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

A. Five and two eighths feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

42 (feet of yarn) ÷ 8 (equal parts) = 5.25 (feet of yarn that each part is)

5.25 =

$5 \frac{1}{4}$

$5 \frac{2}{8}$

because 1/4 = 2/8.

Hope this helps!

Find the distance from P to l.

ki77a [65]

$Equation\ of\ a\ line\ from\ 2\ points (x_1;\ y_1);\ (x_2;\ y_2):\\\\y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)\\\\(-4;\ 2)\ and\ (3;-5)\\subtitute:\\\\y-2=\dfrac{-5-2}{3-(-4)}\cdot(x-(-4))\\\\y-2=\dfrac{-7}{7}\cdot(x+4)\\\\y-2=-(x+4)\\\\y-2=-x-4\ \ \ |add\ x\ and\ 4\ to\ both\ sides\\\\x+y+2=0\\-------------------\\$

$Point-line\ distance\\l:Ax+By+C=0;\ (x_0;\ y_0)\\\\d=\dfrac{|Ax_0+By_0+C|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2}}\\\\x+y+2=0\to A=1;\ B=1;\ C=2\\(1;\ 2)\to x_0=1;\ y_0=2\\subtitute\\\\d=\dfrac{|1\cdot1+1\cdot2+2|}{\sqrt{1^2+1^2}}=\dfrac{|1+2+2|}{\sqrt2}=\dfrac{|5|}{\sqrt2}=\dfrac{5}{\sqrt2}=\dfrac{5\cdot\sqrt2}{\sqrt2\cdot\sqrt2}\\\\=\boxed{\dfrac{5\sqrt2}{2}}$

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

A: CxB= Total

A: (4x19)x5+25=$405

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would find the total of all of the 4 bags. Witch would be 4x19=76. Then you would multiply that by shipping cost 76x5=380. Lastly you would add the $25 380+$25= 405. Think that is right. Hope this helps!

30 POINTS By looking at the intercepts, which linear function does the graph represent?

larisa86 [58]

C. f(x)=2/3x-2

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Looking at the graph we realize that the y-intercept is given by:

$b=-2$

The Slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is given by:

$y=mx+b$

So, our equation becomes:

$y=mx-2$

So the only option that matches a negative y-intercept is C. Let's see that the slope $m=2/3$ . Look at the y-intercept, if you increase x by 3 units, then y increases by 2 units and goes from $x=-2$ to $x=0$ . In other words:

$Change \ in \ x=\Delta x=3 \\ \\ Change \ in \ y=\Delta y=2 \\ \\ \\ m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{2}{3}$
