This problem is an example of ratio and proportion. A ratio is a comparison between two different things. You are given the height and weight of a man at 6 feet and 165 pounds. Also you are given 5 ½ feet. You are required to find the weight of the man at 5 ½ feet. So,<span> </span>
<span>6 feet/165 pounds = 5 ½ feet/ weight </span>
<span>Weight = 5 ½ feet/ (6 feet/165 pounds) </span>
<u>Weight = 151.25 pounds</u>
3/4=x/6,,18=4x,,x=4.5. ..
Answer:
7. Slope = -5
Y-intercept = -3/4
8. Slope = 1/4
Y-intercept = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b

Divide 12 by 4, and you should get 3 dollars per yard
We can find this out by taking the total (23.70) and dividing it by the 5 band members, getting the number 4.74. Now we do this again, but with the extra band member we get 3.95. Now the last step it 4.74 - 3.95, which is 0.79. So each band member payed 0.79 less than normal.
