\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}

= <u>56 bags</u> 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,

2) Evaluate 9 X 364 – 9 X 125 – 9 X 39 without the use of your calculator
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

<em>9*364 - 9*125 - 9*39 = 1,800</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Mental Calculation</em>

If we detect known patterns in the calculations, we could easily give their results without the use of calculators.

We are given the expression to evaluate:

9*364 - 9*125 - 9*39

The first thing to note is the 9 is a common factor of all terms, thus we take it out:

9*(364 - 125 - 39)

The negative numbers can be easily added

     125

+     39

------------

     164

Now our expression is much easier:

9*(364 - 164)

The subtraction of 364-164 is 200, thus the result of the operations is:

9*200. We only need to recall 9*2=18 and add two zeros to get 1,800, thus:

9*364 - 9*125 - 9*39 = 1,800
