Vince bought 6 boxes of worms to use as bait while fishing with his friends. if each person uses exactly 3/8 of a box of worms, how many people can share the worms.

We are given the following information:

each person uses 3/8 a box

there are 6 boxes

Because each box is , and there are 6 boxes, we know that 1 person is , or .

In order to find how many people can use the 6 boxes, we can divide it by 3 (for each use):

48 / 3 = 16

Therefore, 16 people can share the worms.

Hope this helps! :)

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?
