1)
neverminding how many grams or liters...or whatever unit for now
we know one bag of grass covered 1/6 of the lawn, "a whole" or 1, is 6/6
if 1 bag covers 1/6, to cover 6/6 is just 1/6 +1/6 +1/6 +1/6 +1/6 +1/6 , or 6 bags
2)
one can was enough for 1/4 of the sprayer, a full sprayer is 1 whole or 4/4, so 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 or 4 cans
3)
one potato gives enough for 1/3 for a lighbulb, again, 1 whole is 3/3, so 1/3 +1/3 +1/3 , so 3 potatoes
I'm assuming there is probably a graph that goes with this problem so here is all the info I can give you with the four choices:
If it is -1/3, the line will go DOWN 1, over 3 (just count on the graph)
If it is 3, the line will go UP 3, over 1
If it is 1/3, the line will go UP 1, over 3
And if it it -3, it will go DOWN 3, over 1
(If the slope is 3 or -3, it would be quite steep compared to a slope of 1/3 or -1/3)
Hope that helps!
Answer:
50/7.
Simplified to 7.14.
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms, 5x and 9x.
5x+9x=14x
14x = 100
14x / 14 = 100 / 14
x = 50/7 or 7.14
Hope this helps!
The percentage increase; you'll need to take the new value and subtract it by the old value.
16 - 13 = 3
Next, you'll divide 3 by the original value.
3 ÷ 13 = 0.23
And multiply by 100
The percentage increase of friends is 23%
Knowing what the variables are means that all we have to do is substitute:
[ ( 3 ) ^2 + ( 4 ) ^2 ] / 4 - 3 =
( 9 + 16 ) / 1 =
25
