Since 1/6 of the day was spent in the flower bed and 2/3 of that was spreading mulch, we need to find 2/3 of 1/6 to find out how much of the day was spreading the mulch.
In math "of" means times
"is" means equals
2/3 of 1/6 is
translates to
2/3 x 1/6 =
Now we just multiply the numerators across and denominators across then reduce if possible...
2/3 x 1/6 = 2/18
2 and 18 both divide by 2 so it reduces
2/18 = 1/9
Tom spent 1/9 of the day spreading mulch.
Answer:
y=-5/2x+4
Step-by-step explanation:
find the slope by using y2-y1/x2-x1
-1-19/2-(-4)
simplify
-20/8
simplify
-5/2
use slope-intercept form, y=mx+b
since we know the slope, find b
plug in one of the ordered pairs into the equation
-1=(-5/2)(2)+b
simplify
-1= -10/2+b
simplify
-1=-5+b
add 5 to both sides
b=4
plug b into y=-5/2x+b
y=-5/2x+4
30,000 shirts for the men and 17,000 shirts for the women
IF BREADTH=b meters
THEN LENGTH=4 meter less than 3 times than the breadth of the hall.
LENGTH=3b-4 meters
the length of the rectangular hall is=3b-4 meters
8 hours. 125 - 5 = 120. 120 / 15 = 8. Kelly will need to tutor for 8 hours minimum to buy the dress.
