1 pound = 16 ounces
3 pounds = 3*16 ounces
3 pounds= 48 ounces
So, he can make 48 one-ounce bags
Answer:
1. a. His new texting speed after one month is 2 + 1/2 = 2.5 characters per second.
b. After two months it will be 2 + (1/2) * 2 = 3 characters / second.
c. Answer is 2 + 1/2 * 3 = 3.5 characters/second/.
2. The answer is s = 1/2m + 2
3. To solve for m we write 8 = 1/2m + 2 → 6 = 1/2m → m = 12 months.
4. 10r + 4 = 8 → 10r = 4 → r = 0.4
5. The variable r represents the rate she must increase her texting speed by per month.
6. A scenario could be "Allison has 37 marbles in a jar. She took out 5 from the jar and wants to divide the remaining amount equally among her 8 friends. How many marbles does each friend get?".
-x/2 + 4 > = 6
-x/2 > = 6 - 4
-x/2 > = 2...multiply both sides by -2
x < = -4
_________________________________________
x + 3/2 < 7/4
x < 7/4 - 3/2
x < 7/4 - 6/4
x < 1/4
Negative 5 squared is negative 25
We need to convert this equation to slope-intercept form first.
We can do that by solving for y.
x - 5y = 15
<em><u>Add 5y to both sides.</u></em>
x = 5y + 15
<em><u>Subtract 15 from both sides.</u></em>
x - 15 = 5y
<em><u>Divide both sides by 5.</u></em>
y = 1/5x - 3
We now know the slope is 1/5.
The slope of the line perpendicular to the line with a slope of 1/5 is -5.
The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.
Using a graphing calculator, we know the y-intercept of the line that is perpendicular to the original line must have a y-intercept of -6 to run through the points (-2, 5).
The equation of the new line is y = -5x - 6.
