$\frac{40(7)}{5}$ Answer:

To find out how many can be filled, divide the number of pounds of candy by the number of pounds a single bag can hold.

40 can be considered 40/1.

So,

40/1 ÷ 5/7

Make 5/7 a reciprocal(basically flipping the fraction upside down):

40/1 ÷ 7/5

Convert the division symbol into a multiplication symbol:

40/1 × 7/5

Solve!

$\frac{40(7)}{5}$

Cancel:

$\frac{8(7)}{1}$

= 56 bags can be filled.

Answer:56 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

you are dividing 40 into 5/7 so its technically 40*7 divided by 5, which equals 56. double check by doing 56*5 divided by 7 and you get 40 pounds,

Answer:

The area of the rectangle is 48

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that AE is 6 and ED is 8, since it forms a triangle, use the Pythagorean theorem to find AD, which is one side of the rectangle.

The Pythagorean theorem says that a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

a is AE, b is ED, and c is AD, so 6^2 + 8^2 = c^2, 36 + 64 = c^2, 100 = c^2, 10 = c, so AD is 10

The area of the triangle is half of AE times ED, so 1/2(6)(8) = 1/2(48) = 24, the area of the triangle is 24.

Since the area of a triangle is 1/2 of the base times the height, we can figure out the height:

A = 1/2bh, 24 = 1/2(10)h, 24 = 5h, 4.8 = h, so the height of the triangle (and rectangle) is 4.8.

The height of the triangle is also the height of the rectangle:

The area of the rectangle is 4.8*10 = 48

gogolik [260]

2 1/2 should be the answer. Adding all of the x’s up you’ll get 16.5. Since you need 19 oz take 19 and subtract 16.5 to get 2.5. Convert 2.5 into a mixed fraction and get 2 1/2

Sales for a company were 3 million dollars more the second year than the first, and sales for the third year were doubled the sa

Sati [7]

Year 3 = 2s

Year 2 = 3 + x

Year 1 = x

s = second year

x = first year

2s = 26

s = 13

The second year they made 13 million

13 - 3 = 10

x = 10

They made 10 million the first year.
