The difference between the cups of sugar is 1/6, hence you have enough sugar.

<h3>Difference and sum of fractions</h3>

Fractions are written as a ratio of two integers, For instance, a/b is a fraction where a and b are integers.

According to the question, a recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups of sugar. If have 2 2/3 cups of sugar;

Difference of cups of sugar = 2 2/3 - 2 1/2

Convert to improper fraction

Difference = 8/3 -  5/2

Difference = 16-15/6

Difference = 1/6

Since the difference between the cups of sugar is 1/6, hence you have enough sugar.

In the solution of the equation 5 + 3x = -2x + 9, 2 x is added to the equation first. which of the following should be done next
wariber [46]

Hi!

<h3>Let's do the first step (add 2x). </h3>

5 + 3x + 2x = -2x + 2x + 9

<em>5 + 5x = 9</em>

<h3>Our goal is to isolate x on one side, so the next step would be to subtract 5 (or add -5).</h3>

5 + -5 + 5x = 9 + -5

<u><em>5x = 4</em></u>

<h2>The answer is B. add -5</h2><h3><em>And if you want to finish solving, you would divide by 5 on both sides.</em></h3>

5x/5 = 4/5

x = 0.8

Hope this helps! :)

An electric company has to track on-time payments and late payments for each customer monthly. It is impossible for a customer t
OLga [1]

Answer:

The  probability that a customer pays late each month is    P(B)  =  0.27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let     P( A ) be the probability that the customer pays on time and the value is  0.55

Let  P( B )  be the  probability that a customer pays late each month

So

  The probability that a customer pays late or on-time each month  is  P(A u B) and  the value is  0.82

The probability that a customer pays on-time and late each month is  P(A n B) and  the value is  zero ( 0 ) given that it is impossible

   Now The probability that a customer pays late or on-time each month  is mathematically represented as

      P(A u B)  =  P(A) +  P(B)  -   P(A n B)

=>     0.82  =  0.55 + P( B ) -   0

=>    P(B)  =  0.27

Make b the subject of the formula <br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=k%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7Bbrt%7D%7Bv%20-%20b%7D%20" id="Tex
balu736 [363]

Answer:

b = \frac{kv}{k+rt}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

k = \frac{brt}{v-b} ← multiply both sides by (v - b)

k(v - b) = brt ← distribute left side

kv - kb = brt ( subtract brt from both sides )

kv - kb - brt = 0 ( subtract kv from both sides )

- kb - brt = - kv ( multiply through by - 1 to clear the negatives )

kb + brt = kv ← factor out b from each term on the left

b(k + rt ) = kv ← divide both sides by (k + rt )

b = \frac{kv}{k+rt}
