Your answer is 16 oz/1 lb
Hello! I believe the missing fraction is 4/6 because that is between the two numbers that would most likely be missing. I hope this helps! :)
This is from simple math knowledge of lines, segments and points. From the given data, pr and rs are line segments in the line ps. Thus, we add segments pr and rs together to solve for the line ps.
pr + rs = ps
4x - 2 + 3x - 5
(Add like terms) = 7x -7
(Further simplify) = 7(x-1)
Therefore, the final answer or expression of ps = 7(x-1).
A) If you only sample people in a sports supply store, your sample will be biased. People in a sports supply store are more likely to be people that belong to a gym.
B) While it does not have necessarily the same amount of bias as sampling people in the sports supply store, people that go to a park are generally more likely to be people that exercise or have a gym membership.
C) Taking a random sample of people in town is a good way to get a non-biased sample. They are not necessarily predisposed to answer your question one way or another.
D) For the same reason as choice A, this is a biased sample.
C is the best choice.
A linear function is an algebraic equation in which each term is either a constant or the product of a constant and (the first power of) a single variable. For example, a common equation,
y
=
m
x
+
b
, (namely the slope-intercept form, which we will learn more about later) is a linear function because it meets both criteria with
x
and
y
as variables and
m
and
b
as constants. It is linear: the exponent of the
x
term is a one (first power), and it follows the definition of a function: for each input (
x
) there is exactly one output (
y
). Also, its graph is a straight line.
