They will need 2 5/12 more pounds to reach their goal.

<h3>Sum and difference of fractions</h3>

Given the following information as shown:

  • Amount Blake collected = 6 1/3 pounds
  • Amount his brother collected = 5 3/4 pounds

If their goal is to collect 14 1/2 pounds of food by the end of the month, the remaining food they need to collect will be expressed as:

y =14 1/2 - (6 1/3 + 5 3/4)

y = 14 1/2 - (19/3  + 23/4)

y = 29/2 - (76+69/12)

y = 29/2 - (145/12)

y = 174-145/12

y = 29/12

y = 2 5/12

Hence they will need 2 5/12 more pounds to reach their goal.

Find the direct variation equation
joja [24]

Answers:

  • The direct variation equation is y = 5x
  • If x = 4, then y = 20

=================================================

Explanation:

Let's say that the letter k replaces the green box

We have the equation y = kx

Plug in (x,y) = (7,35) to get the equation 35 = k*7

Dividing both sides by 7 leads to k = 5

Therefore, the direct variation equation is y = 5x

We can check this by plugging in x = 7

y = 5x

y = 5*7

y = 35

So x = 7 leads to y = 35 as expected.

-------------

Do the same for x = 4

y = 5x

y = 5*4

y = 20 when x = 4

Side note: direct variation equations always go through the origin.

Is XYZ = ABC? If so, name which similarity postulate or theorem applies.
vazorg [7]

C. Similar - AA

There is no information given that shows differences between the two triangles so you can assume that they're similar.  The two angles are next to each other with no side interrupting them, and no side length is given, therefore the answer is Similar - AA (angle - angle)
