Answer:

Ok! When given points, to find the slope, you would use this equation: y2-y1/x2-x1. Let me demonstrate. In this set to find the slope with the coordinates (10,8) and (14,20), the y2 value is 20, and the y1 value is 8, and the x2 value is 14, and the y1 value is 10. So, your equation would look like this: (20-8)/(14-10), which simplifies to 12/4, or 3! So the slope is three, and that's how you do that when using an equation. OR, you could graph them, but that isn't too reliable so I do not recommend trying it, since you may not create the right slope.

How do you divide $306 into the ratio of 9:5:3? Can someone give me some advice on how to solve this problem?

GarryVolchara [31]

In order to divide $306 into the ratio of 9 to 5 to 3, first you have to make each section of the ratio represented by a variable, and put it into an equation.

9x + 5x + 3x = 306

Our next step is to simplify the left side of the equation by combining all of the like terms, the ones that contain variables.

17x = 306

Finally, to solve this equation, you have to divide both sides by 17 to isolate the variable x on the left side of the equation.

x = 18

However, this is not our answer as it isn't in a ratio format and doesn't really make sense. To find our ratio, we have to multiply each of our initial numbers (9, 5, and 3) by our variable, x.

9 * 18 = 162
5 * 18 = 90
3 * 18 = 54

You can verify that these numbers are correct because if you add them together you get 306.

Your final ratio is 162:90:54.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

91/4 (it already is an improper fraction)

Step-by-step explanation:

91/4 isn't proper as u can tell. The proper form would be 22 $\frac{3}{4}$ . So yea...

Hope this helped and have a great day!
