Answer: 1/12 of the cake.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the LCM (Least Common Multiple) of 3 and 4. The easiest way to do this is to multiply the two together. 3*4 = 12.

Now, convert each fraction to be out of twelfths. Do this by setting up a proportion. 2/3 = x/12. Cross multiply and divide. 2*12 = 24. 24/3 = 8. Therefore, 2/3 = 8/12.

Do the same for 1/4. 1/4 = x/12. Cross multiply and divide. 12*1 = 12. 12/4 = 3. Therefore, 1/4 = 3/12.

Now add these two fractions by adding the numerators and keeping the denominators the same. 8/12 + 3/12 = 11/12.

Subtract this answer from 1 (12/12). 12/12 - 11/12 = 1/12

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

(96.91, 101.09)

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the interval, you require the Z value at 95% confidence interval. The Z value is 1.96. The formula to calculate the confidence interval:

X-Zs/\sqrt{x} \\X+Zs/\sqrt{x}

Where X is the mean and s is the standard deviation and x the sample size:

99-1.96\cdot{5}/\sqrt{22} \\99+1.96\cdot{5}/\sqrt{22}

The interval is (96.91, 101.09)

The equation of line WX is 2x + y = -5. What is the equation of a line perpendicular to line WX in slope-intercept form that con
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

The third choice is the one you want

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are to write the equation of a line perpendicular to WX, we first must determine what the slope of the WX is, because the line perpendicular to WX has a slope that is the flip of the slope of WX with the opposite sign.  Solving for y takes care of finding the slope of WX:

2x + y = -5 so

y = -2x - 5

The slope is -2.  That means that the reciprocal slope is 1/2.  Using that slope along with the coordinates x = -1 and y = -2, we first write the line using point-slope form and then solve it for y.  Start by filling in the m, the x value and the y value:

y - (-2) = \frac{1}{2}(x-(-1))

Getting rid of the double negatives gives us:

y+2=\frac{1}{2}(x+1)

Distributing then gives us:

y+2=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}

And finally solving for y (I am going to express the 2 on the left as 4/2 when I move it by subtraction in order to add those fractions):

y=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{4}{2}

And the final equation in slope-intercept form is:

y=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{3}{2}
