Answer:

➡7pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's suppose that x = the number of ropes that can be cut.

➡ $X = 11\frac{1}{2} ÷ 1\frac{1}{2}$

➡ $X = 11.5 ÷ 11.5$

➡ $X \approx 7.66$

➡ $X = \bf 7pieces$

Answer:

7 whole pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

There is 11.5 inches of rope.

Length of a piece = 1.5 inches

No . of pieces = total / unit length

= 11.5 / 1.5

= 7.667

There will be 7 whole pieces

Jonathan is making his favorite pasta dish. He serves his mom 1/12 of the pot of pasta and his brother 1/6 of the pot. How much

Sauron [17]

Answer:

3/4 of the pot left.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the mom eats a 1/12 of the pot and then the brother also eats a 1/6 of the pot, then it is 9/12 left of pasta still. The reason for that is since 1/6 is equivalent to 2/12 so 1/12 plus 2/12 is 3/12, and if u subtract 3/12 from 12/12 it will give you 9/12 which can be simplified to 3/4 left of the pot.

Graph thee line that represents this equation:<br>y+2=1/2(x+2)

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

$y = \frac{1}{2} x - 1$

Explanation:

The first pic shows the line graphed, while the second pic shows how to turn the equation into proper slope-intercept form.

The only steps the second pic is missing however, is flipping the sides around to be better understood (optional), and more importantly subtracting 2 on both sides in order to move it to the other side, to get 2y = x - 2. And dividing the 2 on both sides to get y by its self, to get:

y = (x-2)/2 , or y = 1/2 x - 2/2 , which if you notice 2/2 makes it equal to one whole so your answer is y = 1/2 x - 1 .

Which table represents a linear function that has a slope of 5 and a y-intercept of 20? A 2-column table with 4 rows. Column 1 i

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The 1st table represents a function

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Function is a relation where each input has a single output

- The notation of the function is f(x) = y , where x is the input of the

function and y is the out put of the function

- The domain of the function is x and the range of the function is y

* Lets find which table represent a function

# First table:

x y

-3 -1

0 0

-2 -1

- In the first table

∵ -3 has only -1

∵ 0 has only 0

∵ -2 has only -1

∵ 8 has only 1

∵ Every x has a single y

∴ The table represents a function

∴ The 1st table represents a function

- In the second table

x y

-5 -5

0 0

-5 5

6 -6

∵ x = -5 has y = -5 and y = 5

∴ One x has two values of y

∴ The table doesn't represent a function

- In the third table

x y

-4 8

-2 2

-2 4

0 2

∵ x = -2 has y = 2 and y = 4

∴ One x has two values of y

∴ The table doesn't represent a function

- In the fourth table

x y

-4 2

3 5

-4 0

∵ x = -4 has y = 2 and y = 0

∴ One x has two values of y

∴ The table doesn't represent a function
