Forty pounds of candy is distributed in 5/7 lb bags. How many bags can be filled?
2 answers:
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!
Cancel:
= <u>56 bags</u> can be filled.

Answer:
Option B.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
-3( -x + a ) + 7 < 5 When x = -1
To Find:
a ?
Solution:
-3( -x + a ) + 7 < 5 When x = -1
Substitute x = -1 in above we get
-3(-(-1) + a ) + 7 < 5
-3(1 + a) < 5 - 7
Using Distributive Property we get i.e A(B+C) = AB + AC
