(8/9) / 6 =
8/9 * 1/6 =
8/54 which reduces to 4/27 of the book each day <===
Answer:
Divided by 3.
They are all divided by 3.
Let's start with y = 4x + b (since 4 is the slope);
We need to find what number should be put instead of b;
Then, let's see what needs to be done;
Plug in the y and x values from the coordinate (22,12) into y=4x+b;
12 = 4(22) + b
Solve;
12 = 88 + b
12 - 88 = b
b = -76
Remember the equation y = 4x + b? Put the -76 instead of b:
y = 4x + -76
or: y = 4x - 76
That is the equation.
To make it standard form, put x and y both in the left side, with x first then y:
-4x + y = -76
^^Answer!
If he spends 1/4 reading the news, then he spends 3/4 reading the other stuff
3/4 * 8/9 = 24/36 = 2/3 of an hr ...time spent reading sports and comics
(2/3) / 2 =
2/3 * 1/2 = 2/6 reduces to 1/3....so he spends 1/3 of an hour (or 20 minutes) reading the comics
