Eric and Frank want to equally share 4/3 feet of rope. what length of rope should each friend get? explain how to use a drawing to help solve the problem.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: the rope is 1 and 1/3 long,1 is the same as saying 3/3,
this means that the rope is 3/3 + 1/3 long,so it is 4/3 foot long,
you now want to get half of this number so that each person has an equal length of rope,so multiply the length of rope by a half,
4/3 x 1/2 = 4/6 , which if simplified = 2/3, this means that each friend gets 2/3 foot of rope.

You can draw this in a diagram by drawing the 1 foot of rope, and then dividing it up into 3 sections. Then add the 1/3 foot of rope into the drawing. It should then be easy to see that altogether there are 4 separate sections of rope and that if each friend has two sections then they will be sharing equal amounts, so consequently each friend has two of the thirds of rope, 2/3

How do you put 96 divided by 6 in distributive property

Answers

Distributive property of division: (a + b) : c = a : c + b : c

96 : 6 = (90 + 6) : 6 = 90 : 6 + 6 : 6 = (60 + 30) : 6 + 1
= 60 : 6 + 30 : 6 + 1 = 10 + 5 + 1 = 16

The graph shows the number of jam jars filled by two different machines over several minutes.The equation y = 3x represents the number of jars, y, Machine A fills in x min.

Which equation could represent the number of jars filled by Machine B?

a y = 1.5x

b y = 3x

c y = 6x

d y = 8x

Answers

Answer:

a. y = 1.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Both equations are equations of a line. All options have the form:

y = a*x

where y and x are the variables and a is the slope.

The slope of the equation corresponding to machine B is less than the machine A's slope (machine A line is above machine B line). The only option in which the slope is less than 3 is y = 1.5*x.

The correct answer is y = 1.5x, A.
I am sure it is because I took the K12 test. I used the answer from the other person that answered this, and got it wrong. I reviewed the test, and It says that 1.5x is correct.

Answer:

y = -2x -5

Step-by-step explanation:

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y + 1 = -2 (x + 2)

Linda asked the students of her class their hockey scores and recorded the scores in the table shown below:Hockey scores

Score. Number of students
0. 2
1. 1
2. 3
3, 6
4. 2
5. 3
6. 2

Based on the table, what is the mean hockey score?

2.7
2.9
3.2
5.2

Answers

ANSWER

The mean hockey score is 3.2

Step - by - step Explanation

The data given is a frequency distribution table.

The mean is calculated using the formula,

$Mean = (\sum \:fx)/(\sum \: f)$

We obtain

$\sum fx$

by multiplying each score by the corresponding number of students and add the products as shown in the picture above

By substitution,

$Mean= (60)/(19)$

$Mean= 3.157$

Hence the mean hockey score is 3.2 to the nearest tenth.

Answer: 3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean is sum of values, divided by number of examples.

If we write down score for each student, we will receive a long list of scores:

0,0,1,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,3,3,4,4,5,5,5,6,6

Now let's sum total scores achieved by students:

0+0+1+2+2+2+3+3+3+3+3+3+4+4+5+5+5+6+6 = 60

So sum of our values (scores) is 60.

Number of examples in our case is number of students, so, total number of students is:

2+1+3+6+2+3+2=19

So mean score in this group can be calculated as:

mean

= total sum / number of examples

= sum of scores / number of students

= 60/19

= 3,158

So closes answer is 3.2.
