A coffee dispensary uses ⅘ of a barrel of coffee beans per batch of coffee they ship. Yesterday, the dispensary used 3 ⅕ of a barrel of coffee beans. How many batches of coffee did they produce?

4 batches

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to convert the mix number into a single fraction:

3 1/5 = 16/5 total barrels of coffee beans used

This allows us to divide the numbers easier in the next step.

Next, because each batch uses 4/5 of a barrel of beans, you need to divide 16/5 by 4/5:

(16/5) / (4/5) = 16/4 = 4 batches

(The fives cancel out because they are the same divisor.)

I hope this helps!

i'am smart

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
