We first need to pick the correct piece to use. In this case, we will use f(x) = -x-5 because -5<=-4.
Then, we use direct substitution:
f(-4) = -(-4) - 5
f(-4) = -1
Answer:
I believe it is 49.425
Step-by-step explanation:
You just add all the numbers then divide it by how many numbers there are.
Johnny is selling tickets to a school play. On the first day of ticket sales he sold 14 senior (S) citizen tickets and 4 child (C) tickets for a total of $200. On the second day of ticket sales he sold 7 senior (S) citizen tickets and 1 child (C) ticket for a total of $92. What is the price of one child ticket?
14S + 4C = 200
14S = 200 - 4C
S = (200 - 4C)/14
7S + 1C = 92
7S = 92 - C
S = (92 - C)/7
(200 - 4C)/14 = (92 - C)/7
7 x (200 - 4C) = 14 x (92 - C)
1400 - 28C = 1288 - 14C
1400 - 1288 = 28C - 14C
112 = 14C
C = 112/14 = 8
the price of one child ticket = $8
#2: 4 cans : $2.36 = 13 : $7.67 SCALE FACTOR: $7.67 divided by $2.36 = 3.25
Use the SF to multiply the missing information.
So 4 cans x 3.25 = 13
YOU CAN BUY 13 CANS FOR $7.67
#4: 2 eggs: 1 1/2 cups of eggs : 10 pancakes = : : 35 pancakes
SCALE FACTOR: 35 pancakes divided by 10 pancakes= 3.5
Use the SF to multiply the missing information
So: 2 eggs x 3.5 = 7
7 EGGS WILL BE NEEDED TO MAKE 10 PANCAKES
#6: 54 pounds: 1 acre = pounds: 12.5 acres
SCALE FACTOR: 12.5 divided by 1 acre= 12.5
Use the SF to find out the mussing information
So, 54 pounds x 12.5 = 675 pounds
THE FARMER CAN HARVEST 675 POUNDS WITH 12.5 ACRES OF FIELD
#8: 90 miles: 120 minutes (5 hours) = 225 miles : 300 minutes (5 hours)
SCALE FACTOR: 225 miles divided by 90 miles = 2.5
Use the SF to figure out the missing information
So, 120 minutes multiplied by 2.5 = 300 minutes (5 hours)
IT WILL TAKE 5 HOURS TO DRIVE 225 MILES
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Close number to 641 is 640
Close number to 59 is 60
Estimate for 641/59 ⇒ 640/60
