Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a couple ways of thinking about this.  Probably the fastest way is the rule, but the rule is not intuitive.  The rule is when you divide fraction, you keep the first fraction the same and then multiple and flip the second fraction.

2/8 x 18/9 = 36/72  To reduce the fraction, could keep dividing the top and the bottom by the same number until it is no longer possible, I could use: 2, 4 3, 9, 18, or 36.  If I used 36, I would only have to divide once.  36/16 is 1 and 72/36 is 2 so my answer would be 1/2.

I could have divided the top and bottom by 2 and got 18/36 and then divide by 2 again and get 9/18 and then by 9 and get 1/2.  As you can, see there are a lot of option.  

The second method is in the picture that I sent you, it is a little more work, but it makes sense.

finlep [7]

Answer:

50 gluten-free cupcakes and 100 regular cupcakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the variables:

R = number of regular cupcakes sold

G = number of gluten-free cupcakes sold

The total amount of money raised then is:

M = R*$2.00 + G*$3.00

We also know that:

The number of regular cupcakes sold was 2 times the number of gluten-free cupcakes sold.

then:

R = 2*G

And we also know that the amount of money raised is $350

Then we have the equations:

R = 2*G

R*$2.00 + G*$3.00 = $350

We can replace the first equation into the second one, so we have only one variable:

(2*G)*$2.00 + G*$3.00 = $350

Now we can solve this for G.

G*$4.00 + G*$3.00 = $350

G*$7.00 = $350

G = $350/$7.00 = 50

G = 50

50 gluten-free cupcakes where sold.

And using the equation:

R = 2*G = 2*50 = 100

We can conclude that 100 regular cupcakes were sold.

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

7(-2) - 4(1) = -18

-14 - 4 = -18

-18 = -18

TRUE

(-2) + 12(1) = 10

-2 + 12 = 10

10 = 10

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

t=\frac{24-25}{\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{14}}}=-1.70    

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df=n-1=14-1=13  

The p value for this case would be given by:

p_v =P(t_{(13)}  

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

\bar X=24 represent the mean height for the sample  

s=2.2 represent the sample standard deviation

n=14 sample size  

\mu_o =25 represent the value that we want to test

t would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value for the test

Hypothesis to verify

We want to cehck if the true mean is lees than 25 mph, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 25  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 25  

The statistic would be given by:

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

Replacing the info given we got:

t=\frac{24-25}{\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{14}}}=-1.70    

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df=n-1=14-1=13  

The p value for this case would be given by:

p_v =P(t_{(13)}
