Lexi picked 2 7/10 pounds of strawberries. that afternoon, lexi's sister ate 7/8 of the strawberries. how many pounds of strawberries did lexi's sister eat?

The amount of strawberries Lexi's sister ate=2 29/80 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We develop the following expressions;

Original weight of Lexi's strawberries=2 7/10 pounds

Amount eaten by Lexi's sister=fraction eaten by Lexi's sister×Original weight of Lexi's strawberries

where;

Fraction eaten by Lexi's sister=7/8

Original weight of Lexi's strawberries=2 7/10=27/10

replacing;

Amount eaten by Lexi's siser=(7/8)×(27/10)=2 29/80

The amount of strawberries Lexi's sister ate=2 29/80 pounds

the slope of the line is 60

one point on the line is (40,10)

step-by-step explanation:

in the equation outside the parenthesis the equation always tells you the slope. in this case it is 60.

in the parenthesis is also says 40 which is x because it is near the x and 10 is y because it is near y.
