Answer:
the y-intercept is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b
m=slope
b= y-intercept
So you can say that the weight of a koala here can be x.
So x * 1/8 = 2
2 being the chinchilla's weight and the 1/8 coming from the fact that the chinchilla weighs 1/8 of the weight of the koala.
So you can just divide both sides by 1/8 first.
x * 1/8 = 2
/ 1/8 / 1/8
Or,
x *1/8 * 8/1 = 2 * 8/1
x = 16
So the koala weighs 16 pounds.
Its 40

.. Please... Please tell me you know fractions at least well enough to know this ;_;
3/4 is like 0.75, yeh?
3/8 is like.. 0.365
Change the Denominator (Bottom Number in Fraction) so they're the same:
6/8 3/8.
Now d'you see?
