The Hendersons went on a driving vacation. They decided to travel 1/3 of the distance on the first day. Owing to bad weather, they had to stop for the night having gone only 1/4 of the distance to the one-third point.
What fraction of the total distance did they travel the first day? Show your work and reduce to lowest terms.

Nathan used 2(5/6) loaves of bread to make sandwiches for a lunch. He made equal numbers of 4 different types of sandwiches.
What fraction of a loaf of bread did Nathan use for each type of sandwich?
Answer:
A)
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{12}[/tex]
B)
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{3}{5}[/tex]
C)
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{17}{24}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A)
The Hendersons were traveling 1/3 of the distance on the first day.
However, they had to stop, having only traveled 1/4 of the 1/3 distance.
So, we can multiply the two fractions together.
Therefore, the fraction of the total distance they traveled is given by:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}\times\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{12}[/tex]
The Hendersons traveled 1/12 of the total distance.
Part B)
We are assuming the bottle of milk was full at the beginning.
So, at the beginning, there were 1/1 bottle of milk left.
Howie fed a piglet 1/5 of the bottle. So, there is now:
[tex]\displaystyle 1-\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
Of the bottle left.
Making common denominators and subtracting yields:
[tex]\displaystyle =\frac{5}{5}-\frac{1}{5}=\frac{4}{5}[/tex]
So, after feeding the piglet, 4/5 of the bottle of milk was still there.
3/4 of the remainder was fed to a calf.
So, the amount that was fed to the calf is 3/4 times 4/5. Therefore:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{3}{4}\times\frac{4}{5}[/tex]
Multiply:
[tex]\displaystyle =\frac{12}{20}=\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
So, the calf drank 3/5 of the bottle of milk.
Part C)
Nathan used 2 (5/6) loaves of bread to make 4 sandwiches.
First, convert 2 (5/6) to an improper fraction. So:
[tex]\displaystyle 2\frac{5}{6}=\frac{12+5}{6}=\frac{17}{6}[/tex]
Nathan made 4 sandwiches using this. So, we will divide this by 4. Note that this is the same as multiplying by 1/4. Therefore:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{17}{6}\times\frac{1}{4}=\frac{17}{24}[/tex]
So, Nathan used 17/24 loaves of bread per sandwich.

Step-by-step explanation:
from y=mx+b to find the y intercept b
Answer:
y = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
It's a horizontal line so y is constant, it would be y = b because the slope is 0.
Since it passes through the point (5, -7) we can assume the line is at y = -7

Lars did some research on how much it would cost him to buy a gym membership.
At Murfield Country Club, a membership costs $20. Every time Lars goes to the gym he must pay an additional $30/hour.
At Pete’s Gym, it would cost Lars $80 for 2 hours and $120 for 3 hours.
a) Which of the two companies charges no initial fee? How do you know?
b) What is the slope of each line? (Murfield Country Club and Pete's Gym).
Slope for Murfield Country Club =
Slope for Pete’s Gym =
c) Write the equation for each line. (Murfield Country Club and Pete's Gym).
Equation for Murfield Country Club =
Equation for Pete’s Gym =
Answer:
A. it would be Pete's gym because he doesn't have to pay for a membership as well as paying $30 per hour he only has to pay for the hourly cost.
B. Lars-starts at 20 then goes to 50 then 80 ect... goes up by 30 starting at 20 because of the membership he payed.
Pete's- starts at 0 then to 40, 80, 120, 160 ect... goes up by 40 starting at zero.
