Answer:
m = -1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two ways that you can use to get this answer.
The first way is to use the graph. You can see that to get from Point A to Point B, the dots go over 1 and down 3. For the fraction, you put the amount that you go to the side (1) over the amount you go down (3) to get 1/3. Since the points go down gradually, the slope is negative, so 1/3 becomes -1/3.
The second way is to take the two points, (1, 4) and (2, 1) and subtract them. First, subtract the x-coordinate from Point B from Point A to get -1. Then do the same thing with the y-coordinates to get 3. Put the -1 over 3 because x comes before y, and you have your slope.
I hope this helped :)
A:b = 4:5
b:c=3:2
b was 5 then it was 3, so you have to find the common multiple which is 15.
you’d have to times the 4 (a) by 3 since that 5x3 is 15
you’d have to times the 2 (c) by 5 since 5x3 is 15 again.
therefore the answer would be
a:b:c
12:15:10
I hope this makes sense it was kinda hard to explain sorry :)
The aquarium has 3 more yellow fish than green fish.
60% of the fish are yellow.
To find:
How many green fish are in the aquarium?
Step-by-step explanation:
Let there be x number of fish in the aquarium.
60% of the fish are yellow.
So there are 60x/100 = 3x/5 yellow fish.
Then (100 - 60)% = 40% fish are green.
So there are 40x/100 = 2x/5 green fish.
Given that, there are 3 more yellow fish than green fish
⇒ 3x/5 = 2x/5 + 3
⇒ 3x/5 = (2x + 15)/5
⇒ 3x = 2x + 15
⇒ 3x - 2x = 15
⇒ x = 15
Now, 2x/5 = 2/5 × 15 = 2 × 4 = 6
Answer:
There are 6 green fish in the aquarium.
