<h3>given:</h3>

3 3/4 pounds of rice divided equally in 4 containers.

<h3>to find:</h3>

the amount of ounces of rice each were in.

<h3>solution:</h3>

<em><u>33/4 ÷ 4 pounds</u></em>

<em><u>= (4 × 3 + 3)/4 ÷ 4 pounds</u></em>

<em><u>= 15/4 ÷ 4 pounds</u></em>

<em><u>= 15/4 × 1/4 pounds</u></em>

<em><u>= 15/16 pounds</u></em>

<em><u>so</u></em><em><u>,</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>now</u></em><em><u>:</u></em>

<em><u>1 pound = 16 ounces</u></em>

<em><u>hence</u></em><em><u>,</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>15/16 pounds = 15/16 × 16 ounces</u></em>

<em><u>= 15 ounces</u></em>

Answer:

Solution

To solve the problem first we have simplify the improper fraction.

⇒ 33/4 ÷ 4 pounds.

= (4 × 3 + 3) /4 ÷ 4 pounds.

= 15/4 ÷ 4 pounds.

= 15/4 × 1/4 pounds.

= 15/16 pounds.

Now we know that, 1 pound = 16 ounces.

Therefore, 15/16 pounds .

= 15/16 × 16 ounces.

= 15/1

= 15

= 15 ounces.

Answer: 15 ounces.

What is There are fourteen whole snack bars on a plate. There are five friends.
AleksandrR [38]

Carl is incorrect. Dave ate a higher fraction of snack bars, by 0.2 snack bars.

Carl had .5 left of a snack bar.

Dave had .3 left of a snack bar.

Tony had .5 left of a snack bar.

Gary had .0 left of a snack bar.

Tryone had .7 left of a snack bar.

If we add the above snack bars, there is a total of two remaining snack bars, meaning they only ate 12 of 14 snack bars.

The graph of a linear function is shown on the grid
monitta

Answer: Choice A

y + 1 = -3(x+2)

=============================

Explanation:

Let's look through the answer choices.

Choices C and D show that the point (2,1) is on the line. But the graph does not show this. So we can rule out choices C and D.

With choice A, the slope is negative and choice B has a positive slope.

The answer must be choice A because the line is going downhill as we move from left to right.

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

A common method is to pick two points on the line and compute the slope using the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Once you know the slope, you would use point slope form

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
