Hi! I'm happy to help!

Our town is composed of 2,000 people. Of those 2,000 people, 4/5 of them are middle class. The word 'of' usually means multiplication when it is in a word problem. So, we will multiply 2,000 by 4/5. When multiplying a whole number, we just multiply it by the numerator (top) and leave the denominator. (bottom)

2,000×4

8,000

8,000/5

Fractions are just a different way of putting division, so we can change this to a division problem:

8,000÷5=

1,600

1,600 of the people are middle class.

I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D

Answer:

Part A = 64 feet

Part B = 79 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

10 × 2 = 20 = Diameter

Formula is C = π × diameter

20 × π = 62.8318530718 feet = 64 feet

Part B

25 × 2 = 50

Same formula

50 × π = 157.079632679 feet

157.079632679 ÷ 2 = 78.5398163395 feet = 79 feet

divide by 2 because it is a semi circle

Hope his helped :)

Write an equation of a line that passes through the point (3,2) and is parallel to the line y=3x-4

Parallel lines should have the same slope. Therefore, you know which point it passes through and the slope. Plug in the points and slop into slope-intercept form to find b. Please refer to the picture.
