A squirrel burrowed 6 holes in 2 minutes. How many holes could the squirrel burrow in 7 minutes?

7 minutes= 2 minutes x 3.5

The squirrel burrowed 6 holes in 2 minutes.
To find how many holes the squirrel burrows in 7 minutes we multiply 6 x 3.5= 21.

Alternate method:

If the squirrel burrows 6 holes in 2 minutes that means he has burrowed 3 holes in 1 minute.
Multiply the number of holes burrowed in 1 minute by 7 to get 21.

Answer:

21 holes

Step-by-step explanation:

6 holes/2 minutes = x/7 minutes (cross multiply)

(6*7)/2 = 42/2 = 21 holes

What is the equation of a line that is parallel to -x+3y=6 and passes through the point (3,5)?

Elena-2011 [213]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line in the slope-intersection form is given by:

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

By definition, if two lines are parallel then their slopes are equal.

We have the following line:

$-x + 3y = 6\\3y = x + 6\\y = \frac {1} {3} x + \frac {6} {3}\\y = \frac {1} {3} x + 2$

Thus, the slope is: $m_ {1} = \frac {1} {3}$

Then $m_ {2} = \frac {1} {3}$

So, the line is of the form:

$y = \frac {1} {3} x + b$

We substitute the point $(x, y) :( 3,5)$ and find b:

$5 = \frac {1} {3} (3) + b\\5 = b$

Thus, the equation is:

$y = \frac {1} {3} x + 5$

Answer:

$y = \frac {1} {3} x + 5$
