Answer:

1) Each week Jesalea saves $4.80

2) She gets to spend $7.20 each week

Step-by-step explanation:

Each week she gets $12 however to calculate the amount she saves convert the percentage into a decimal. 40% can be turned into a decimal by dividing the percentage by 100 and removing the decimal point (40%/100=0.40). Then multiply $12*0.40 to get $4.80 as the saving amount for one week. To know what she spends subtract $12-$4.80 to get $7.20 that she spends.

If the circumference of a circle measures 12π cm, what is the area of the circle in terms of π?

frez [133]

So the formula for the circumference of a circle is π x diameter
Since we know the the circumference already, we just divide that by π:

12π / π = 12

Now we halve the diameter to get the radius:
12 / 2 = 6

The area of a circle is π x radius²
So the area is:

·π x 6² = 36π· (or 113 not in terms of π)

Find the equation of the line with slope 3/7 and that passes through the point (14, 0). Write your answer in the form y = mx + b

Allushta [10]

Answer:

y = 3/7x - 6

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
Equality Properties

Algebra I

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Slope m = 3/7

Point (14, 0)

Step 2: Find y-intercept b

Substitute: 0 = 3/7(14) + b
Multiply: 0 = 6 + b
Isolate b: -6 = b
Rewrite: b = -6

Step 3: Write linear equation

y = 3/7x - 6

He rain caused the river to ride a total of 6 2/3 inches. The river was rising at an average of 2/3 of an inch each hour. How ma

Kobotan [32]

To find out how many hours it rained, divide the total rise in the river by the amount it rose every hour.

$\sf 6\dfrac{2}{3}\div\dfrac{2}{3}$

First convert the mixed number into an improper fraction. We do this by multiplying the denominator to the whole number, adding it to the numerator, which becomes our new numerator, and we keep the denominator the same:

$\sf\dfrac{20}{3}\div\dfrac{2}{3}$

When dividing fractions we flip(the reciprocal) the one we're dividing by and multiply:

$\sf\dfrac{20}{3}\times\dfrac{3}{2}$

Multiply the numerators and denominators together:

$\sf\dfrac{60}{6}$

Simplify by dividing:

$\boxed{\sf 10}$

So it rained for 10 hours.
