There are 5280 feet in a mile what factors of a mile is represented by 480 feet
1 answer:
Remark
I take this to mean "What fraction of a mile." Factors and fractions are two different things. If I have made the wrong assumption, please leave a note.
1 mile = 5280 feet
x mile = 480 feet
Discussion
The easiest way to get the fractional amount is to find the Highest Common Factor and cancel it out. What is left will be your answer.
480:2* 2*2*2 *2 * 3 *5
5280:2*2*2*2*2*3*5*11
The bold primes make up the LCM
Answer
is what is left over.
So 480 is 1/11 of 5280 <<< Answer

Slope-intercept form of an equation is y = mx + b, where <em>m </em>is the slope and <em>b </em>is the y-intercept.
To put this equation in the form of y = mx + b, we have to isolate the y. Here's how:
In slope-intercept form, the equation is y = -2x + 12.
Hope this helps!
