Marianne purchases 16 bags of potting soil, which weighs 5/8 pounds per bag.
a) Marianne buys 10 pounds of potting soil.
b) She need 5 additional bags.
A fraction's numerator is the term that appears above the vinculum. It illustrates how many parts we have in total. A fraction's denominator is the term that appears below the vinculum. It reveals how many parts there are in all of us. A fraction's denominator and numerator are its top and bottom respective numbers.
The two numbers, which are separated by a line, are referred to as the numerator and the denominator, respectively. The line simply divides the numerator from the denominator and can be horizontal or slanted to mean either.
Given:
Marianne buys 16 bags of potting soil that comes in 5/8 pound bags.
a) 16 × 5 / 8 = 80 / 8 = 10
Marianne buys 10 pounds of potting soil.
b) She has 10 pounds, so she need bags only for 3 ponds.
3 : 5 / 8 = 3 × 8 / 5 = 24 / 5 = 4.8
She need 5 additional bags.
The complete question is:
Marianne buys 16 bags of potting soil that comes in 5/8 pound bags.
a) How many pounds of potting soil does Marianne buy?
b) If Marianne's father calls and says he needs 13 pounds of potting soil, how many additional bags should she buy?

Answer:
1/-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope= y2-y1/x2-x1
Your two points are (1,3) and (-2,4)
(4-3)/(-2-1)=1/-3
Slope= 1/-3
Answer:
m= -1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the slope formula to find the slope m. But first find the points.
A.x = 10
B. x = 9
C.x = 11
D.x = 8
You can find the value of x in the function f(x) = 3x - 7 when f(x) = 20 by isolating x in the equation. This process leads to an answer of x = 9.
To solve this problem, you need to substitute the given function's value f(x)=20 into the equation and solve for x.
So, you have the equation 3x-7=20. In the next step, you add 7 to both sides to isolate 3x on one side, which gives you 3x=27.
Finally, divide both sides by 3 to find the value of x. Doing so, you get x = 27/3, which simplifies to x = 9.
Therefore, when f(x) = 20, the value of x is 9, which matches answer option B.
