Jason left a bin outside in his garden to collect rainwater. He notices that 1 over 5 gallon of water fills 2 over 3 of the bin. Write and solve an equation to find the amount of water that will fill the entire bin. Show your work. Explain your answer in words.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

We can set this up as a proportion

(1/5) gallon / (2/3) bin = x gallons / 1 bin cross-multiply

1/5 = (2/3)x multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 2/3 = 3/2

(3/2) (1/5) = x = 3/10 gallons fills the entire bin

Look at it this way......each 1/10 of a gallon fills 1/3 of the bin......so 3(1/10) gallons fills 3(1/3)bins....or

3/10 galons fills a whole bin....

What is the absolute value? What symbol represents absolute value?

Answers

Answer:

Absolute value is the distance the number away is from 0. In simpler terms, if you had a -8 the absolute value is 8. I attached a picture of the absolute value symbols. The absolute value of a normal positive 8 is still 8 though because it's the same distance on a number line.

The most common way to represent the absolute value of a number or expression is to surround it with the absolute value symbol: two vertical straight lines. |6| = 6 means “the absolute value of 6 is 6.” |–6| = 6 means “the absolute value of –6 is 6.” |–2 – x| means “the absolute value of the expression –2 minus x

Answer:

[tex]7\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

So for this problem, we want to solve for x

75x + 50 = 600

First, we isolate x by subtracting 50 from both sides.

75x + 50 - 50 = 600 - 50

75x = 550

Then we divide both sides by 75 to find x

75*x/75=550/75

Y = 4x + 9
What is the slope and the y-intercept?

Answers

Answer:

y=4x+9 is in the form y=mx+b , so the slope ( m ) is 4 and the Y-intercept ( b ) is 9

Answer:

m = 4b = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

y = mx + by = 4x + 9

If we compare these two equations, we can find the slope and the y-intercept.

=> (y = mx + b) = (y = 4x + 9)

We can clearly see that 'm = 4' and 'b = 9'.

Conclusion:

Therefore:

m = 4b = 9

[tex]y=3x-7[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

See below:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! I hope you are having a nice day.

We can solve this equation in a single step, we just need a bit of theory and a graph.

We can first see that its in [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] form. Which is also known as Slope-Intercept form.

This means that we know the following.

[tex]b[/tex] is the y coordinate of the y intercept.[tex]m[/tex] is the slope of the line.

Since we know that, we can see that from our equation that the slope of the line is 3 and the y intercept is (0,-7).

Now that we've gotten that, we can start graphing.

The y intercept is -7 so we can plot (0,-7) as one of our points.

The slope of 3 means that we got up 3 units then right a single unit.

Therefore, another point could be (1,-4).

With our two points, we can create our graph by creating a straight line through those two points and therefore plotting our line.

Cheers!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x - 7 is a linear equation with y-intercept -7 (or    (0, -7)   ) and slope 3.  These two quantities are instantly readable from the equation.

There are several ways in which we may graph this equation.  One is to plot the y-intercept (0, -7)  Then choose an x-value, such as 3, and evaluate the function at that x value.  We see that y = 9 - 7, or y = 2, when x = 3. Then another point on the graph besides (0, -7) is (3, 2).  Plot (3, 2) and then draw a line through the two plotted points.

Here's another way:

The slope here is 3, or 3/1, which represents rise / run.  Plot (0, -7) as before.

Move your pencil from (0, -7) 1 space to the right and 7 spaces up.  Then plot a new point at that location.  Draw a line through (0, -7) and (1, 0).

193 miners need to ride the elevator to the bottom of the mine. The elevator can hold 7 miners at a time. How many miners will be in the elevator on its last trip?

Answers

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

193/7=27 with a remainder of four.

[tex]\huge \bf༆ Answer ༄[/tex]

Here's the solution ~

There are total of 193 mimers and each time the elevator can carry 7 miners, now divide the numbers and the remainder ww get gives the number of people left at last, that is also equal to the number of miners in the last trip since they are the last group among them.

[tex] \sf193 \div 7[/tex]

On dividing, we get quotient = 27 and remainder as 4

therefore, 28th trip will be the last trip carrying 4 miners.

Answers

Answer:

A proportional relationship between the number of pounds of potatoes (x) and the price in dollars (y) is graphed, and the ordered pair (4, 3) is on the graphed line. Part A: What is the price of 1 pound of potatoes? Show your work, including the proportion you used to determine the price. (8 points) Part B: What does the ordered pair (8, 6) on the graph represent? Explain in words. (2 points)

 

The point (4,3) means that 4 lbs. of potatoes = $3. Therefore, we have:

4 lbs / $3  = 1lb / x       cross-multiply

4x = 3      divide by 4

x = 3/4 dollars = $.75 per pound

 

The point (8,6) means that 8 lbs. of potatoes = $6.
