Well to do this you've got to divide 10 by 1 1/4, so you're going to want to turn both into mixed numbers.

10 is 10/1, and 1 1/4 will be 5/4.  Now you can divide 10/1 by 5/4.

In order to divide fractions, you have to use the inverse operations to get the answer -- flip it all around.

10/1 stays the same, but the division sign and 5/4 get flipped.  This turns the problem into 10/1 * 4/5

10/1 * 4/5 will equal 40/5, and to simplify you just have to divide that.  40 / 5 = 8, so you can fit 8 shakers worth of salt into this box.

8 shakers will fit  becuase 4 shakers equal 5 ounces and you multiply it by two and you get 10

Solve for x 6 ( x − 2 ) = 8 ( x − 9 )
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to solve for the value of x in the expression 6 ( x − 2 ) = 8 ( x − 9 )

we will first of all open the brackets and then evaluate for the value of x by combining the like terms.

from 6 ( x − 2 ) = 8 ( x − 9 )

6x -12 = 8x -72

combine the like terms

6x - 12 + 72 = 8x

-12 + 72 = 8x -6x

60 = 2x

divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 2

60/2 = 2x/2

30 = x

x = 30

therefore the value of x in the expression 6 ( x − 2 ) = 8 ( x − 9 ) is equals to 30

For a segment of a radio show a disc jockey can play 10 records. If there are 12 records to select from in how many ways can the
sveta [45]

Answer:

<h2>66 different ways </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a combination question. Combination has to do with selection. For example if r objects are to be selected from n pool of oblects, this can be done in nCr number of ways.

nCr = n!/(n-r)r!

According to the question, if a radio show can only play 10 records out of 12 records available, this can be done in 12C10 number of ways.

12C10 = 12!/(12-10)!10!

= 12!/2!10!

= 12*11*10!/2*10!

= 12*11/2

= 6*11

= 66 different ways

Which of the following statements are true of the
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

B, D, and E.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The system has infinitely many solutions. This is wrong because according to the graph, there is only one solution- where the lines intersect. This would only be true if the lines never intersected.

B) A solution to the system is (-1, -2). This is true because this is the only point where the lines intersect.

C) A solution to the system is (0, -1). Since these aren't parabolas and the one above is true, we can say this is false. Also, the lines don't intersect at (0, -1).

D) One of the equations is y=x-1. This is true because the y-intercept for the red line is -1 and the slope of the equation is 1. You can also find this out by directly solving for the equation.

E) One of the equations is 3x+y=-5. If you put this into slope-intercept form, you will find out that the equation is y=-3x-5. This is true because the y-intercept of this is -5 and the slope of this is -3.
