Answer:
Each tray has 5 colours and one of the colour on the tray is purple. Hence 1/5 of the colours on the tray is purple and thus 1/5 of the colours on the 20 trays is purple. The fraction of colours on the trays will not change. If written out logically, 20 purples out of 100 colours in total on the trays will also given the fraction 1/5.
Answer
The independent variable is the number of people. The initial value (initial fee) for the picnic is $40. As the number of people increases, the total cost of the picnic increases.
Hello there! Your answer is B. Negative.
Since -4 and -3/4 are both negatives, the negatives cancel eachother out and you are left with a positive. :)

Answer: 127</h3>
=================================================
Explanation:
The phrasing "2/3 of 4/5 of his 2nd exam on his 3rd test" is a bit clunky in my opinion. It seems more complicated than it has to be.
The student got 80 on the second exam. 4/5 of this is (4/5)*80 = 0.8*80 = 64. Then we take 2/3 of this to get (2/3)*64 = 42.667 approximately. If we assume only whole number scores are given, then this would round to 43.
Let x be the score on the fourth exam. Since 5 points of extra credit are given, the student actually got x+5 points on this exam.
So we have these scores
- first exam = 70
- second exam = 80
- third exam = 43
- fourth exam = x+5
Adding up these scores and dividing by 4 will get us the average
(sum of scores)/(number of scores) = average
(70+80+43+x+5)/4 = 80
(x+198)/4 = 80
x+198 = 4*80
x+198 = 320
x = 320 - 198
x = 122
So the student got a score of x+5 = 122+5 = 127 on the fourth exam.
