Mrs. nguyen used 1.48 meters of netting to make 4 identical mini hockey goals. how much netting did she use per goal?

0.37 meters  of netting

Given:

Mrs. Nguyen used 1.48 meters of netting to make 4 identical mini hockey goals.  

Question:

How much netting did she use per goal?

The Process:

We will solve the problem of conversion or in other words the ratio or proportion.

Option A: the conversion

Mrs. Nguyen used 1.48 meters of netting to make 4 identical mini hockey goals.  

Then for every 1 goal, she needs 0.37 meters of netting.

Because

Option B: the ratio (or proportion)

In the ratio, we process as follows:

Both are divided by 4.

Thus, she uses 0.37 meters of netting per goal.

Alternative problem

How much netting did she use for 8 goals?

meters of netting.

We cross out eight and four because they can be divided.

She uses 2.96 meters of netting to make 8 identical mini hockey goals.

y = x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = , then

y = x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (5, - 2 ) into the partial equation

- 2 = 6 + c ⇒ c = - 2 - 6 = - 8

y = x - 8 ← equation of line
