4 because 1/8 goes into 1/2 4 times. 1/2 divided by 1/8 equals 4. 1/8 times 4 equals 1/2.

A fruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small. A delivery of 5 large boxes and 2 small boxes has a t

nikdorinn [45]

Each large box weighs 15 kilograms and each small box weighs 13.5 kilograms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Weight of large box = x

Weight of small box = y

According to given statement;

5x+2y=102 Eqn 1

3x+8y=153 Eqn 2

Multiyplying Eqn 1 by 4

$4(5x+2y=102)\\20x+8y=408\ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

$(20x+8y)-(3x+8y)=408-153\\20x+8y-3x-8y=255\\17x=255$

Dividing both sides by 17

$\frac{17x}{17}=\frac{255}{17}\\x=15$

Putting x=15 in Eqn 2

$15(3)+8y=153\\45+8y=153\\8y=153-45\\8y=108$

Dividing both sides by 8

$\frac{8y}{8}=\frac{108}{8}\\y=13.5$

Each large box weighs 15 kilograms and each small box weighs 13.5 kilograms.

From the set {80, 19, 11}, use substitution to determine which value of x makes the equation true. 8x = 88 A. none of these B. 1

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

C. 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Substituting, we have ...

8{80, 19, 11} ?= 88

{640, 152, 88} ?= 88

The value from the set that makes the equation true is x = 11.

_____

<em>Alternate methods of solution (other than substitution)</em>

It can be easier to make use of your knowledge of factoring:

8x = 8·11

x = 11

Or to make use of your knowledge of numbers (place value):

8·10 = 80

so x will not be very different from 10.
