Answer:
A 5-pound of flour costs $4.80. For this bag of flour, what is the cost of flour per ounce? (1 pound = 16 ounces) a. $0.06.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we obtain the gradient (slope) of the first parallel line
Recall that since both lines are parallel, we have that,
Thus
Hence, we can find the equation of the parallel line given that it passes through the points (-4, -3)
Using
General form of a linear equation is ax+by+c=0 where a,b, and c are three real numbers.
So, we can shift all the terms in one side of the equation. Hence, first step is to remove y from the left side. So, subtract y from each sides.
y-y=3x+2-y
0= 3x - y +2 (By simplifying)
So, the general form of the given equation is 3x-y+2=0.
now, let's take a peek at the denominators, we have 3 and 8 and 12, we can get an LCD of 24 from that.
Let's multiply both sides by the LCD of 24, to do away with the denominators.
so, let's recall that a whole is "1", namely 500/500 = 1 = whole, or 5/5 = 1 = whole or 24/24 = 1 = whole. So the whole class will yield a fraction of 1/1 or just 1.
