There are 3 3/4 pounds of bricks in a bag. each brick weighs 5/8 of a pound. how many bricks are in the bag.

There are 6 bricks in the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert from mixed number to decimal number. To do it, divide the numerator of the fraction by the denominator and add the result to the whole number part. Then:

Convert from fraction to decimal number. To do it you need to divide the numerator by the denominator. Then, you get:

Let be "x" the number of bricks in the bag.

Based on the information given in the exercise, you can set up the following proportion:

Finally, you must solve for "x" in order to find its value. This is:

the answer to the question is a  

it has the same slope and the same y-intercept.

it is a. 4.2 because 7.6-3.4 gets the remaining length of 4.2. i might be wrong but i am pretty sure this is the answer.
