6th grade math:) please help..

Okay the ratio of starfish to fish is 3:6 or 3/6 but simplified it is 1/2

The starfish ratio to 16 fish would be 8 or 16:8

and if there was one less starfish in the line the ratio would be 2:6 or 2/6 but simplified would be 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay to solve the first question we see that there are 6 fish and 3 starfish, when put into a ratio it is 3:6 (the reason the number of starfish is first in the ratio is because it is starfish to fish hence starfish goes first ). If you are wanting the ratio to be in fraction form you are going to put 3/6 and since 3 goes into 3 once and 6 twice so the fraction is 1/2

3:6 = 3/6 = 1/2

Since the ratio from starfish to fish is 1/2 of that number you are going to divide 16 by 1/2 or more like multiply:

16/ 1/2 = 16/1 * 1/2 = 16/2 = 8

I hope this helps you!!!

When the ratio of starfish is short of one then the ratio would be 2: 6 or in fraction form 2/6 but simplified is 1/3.

2:6 = 2/6 = 1/3

a 10 percent increase

the required function is .

step-by-step explanation:

from the given table it is noticed that the graph passing through (-3,7), (0,4), (3,1) and (8,-4).

it is a linear function because the value of y is decrease by one as the value of x increase by 1.

the slope of the function is

the slope of the function is -1 and the y-intercept is 4.

the slope intercept form is

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

therefore the required function is . the graph of this function is shown below.
