Answer:

Option (b)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Total no of friends are 6

The share of each friend is 4/5

Pizza eaten by each friend is equal to the total pizza eaten divided by total no of friends. It can be given by :

=\dfrac{\dfrac{4}{5}}{6}\\\\=\dfrac{4}{5}\times \dfrac{1}{6}\\\\=\dfrac{2}{15}

It means that Teagan is correct in using a division expression because the question is about splitting a value into equal parts.  Hence, the correct option is (b).

When Val checks her cable bill, she is shocked by her movie-rental bill for the month. Renting movies costs $2.99 for each movie
astraxan [27]

Answer:

She should buy the monthly plan for the unlimited movies rather than pay $2.99 per movie. This is because, the more she pay that amount for each movie, the higher her expenses would become at the end of each month.

For example, let assume, in a month, she 8 free days (Saturday and Sunday). She paying for each movie each of those days would supersede the amount she could have spent assuming she did the unlimited monthly plan of $7.99.

That notwithstanding other days which will feel like watching movies or the public holidays which she would be free to relax.

The projectile motion of an object can be modeled using s(t) = gt2 + v0t + s0, where g is the acceleration due to gravity, t is
NeX [460]
S(t) =  -4.9t^2 + 19.6t + 24.5

when it reaches the ground s(t) = 0 


so we have -4.9t^2 + 19.6t + 24.5 = 0

solve this for t:-

-4.9(t^2 - 4t - 5) = 0

(t + 1)(t - 5) = 0

so required time t = 5 seconds  

answer 5 seconds

A square OABC with the length of a side 6 cm and circle k(O) with a radius 5 cm are given. Which of the lines OA , AB , BC , or
Pavel [41]

Answer:

AC and OA

Step-by-step explanation:

-A secant is a  line connecting two points on the circle.

-Given the square OABC of sides 6cm and a circle of r=5cm and  the center of the circle as O, and that the radius of the circle is less than the side of the square:

-The circle passes through OA and OC, but doesn't pass through AB and BC.

Hence, AC and OA are the circle's secants.

Which graph can be used to find the solution(s) to 4x=-4x?
Elden [556K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The graph is shown in the Figure below

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

In this exercise, we have an equation. On the left side we have a straight line with slope m=4 and there is no any y-intercept. On the right side, on the other had, we also have a straight line, but the slope here is  m=-4. Therefore, by plotting these two straight lines, we have that the solution is the origin, that is, the point (0, 0).
