Answer:
2.225 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the total weight the farmer sold was 8.9 kilograms.
- 3/4 of this weight is apples, and the rest is pears.
Therefore, to calculate the amount of kilograms of pears she sold at the farmer's market (which you can call x), you need to apply the following procedure.
Hey there! :)
Answer:
First part: 2 miles.
Second part: 45 minutes
Third part: 8 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can divide this question into 3 parts.
Begin by solving for the distance traveled after 15 minutes by creating a ratio:
Cross multiply:
20 · 15 = 150 · x
300 = 150x
300/150 = 150x/150
x = 2 miles.
2nd part: How long it took her to ride 6 miles.
Set up another ratio similar to the one used before:
Cross multiply:
20 · x = 6 · 150
20x = 900
20x/20 = 900/20
x = 45 minutes.
3rd part:
For this part, we will need to convert from minutes to hours.
Therefore, her speed is 8 mph.
First we need the slope and the y int which can be found by putting ur equation in y = mx + b form, where m is ur slope and b is ur y int.
8x + 2y = 24
2y = -8x + 24
y = -4x + 12.....so the slope is -4, and the y int is 12 or (0,12)
to find the x int, sub in 0 for y and solve for x....in either the original equation or the slope intercept equation
8x + 2y = 24
8x + 2(0) = 24
8x = 24
x = 24/8
x = 3.....so the x int is 3 or (3,0)
now plot ur intercepts (3,0) and (0,12)......now start at ur y int (0,12)...and since ur slope is -4, u come down 4 spaces, then to the right 1 space, then down 4, and to the right 1...keep doing this and u should cross the x axis at (3,0)
The answer is x=3 you (18-12=6/2=3)
