Each salt shaker holds 1 1/4 ounces. If a box of salt contains 10 ounces, how many shakers will it fit

2 answers:

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

Leonardo wrote an equation that has an infinite number of solutions. One of the terms in Leonardo's equation is missing, as show

Tanya [424]

Answer:

The missing term is 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

-(x - 1) + 5 = 2(x + 3) - _

Required

Find _

For proper identification of the parameters, represent _ with Z

So, the equation becomes

-(x - 1) + 5 = 2(x + 3) - Z

Open bracket (start from the left hand side)

-x + 1 + 5 = 2(x + 3) - Z

-x + 1 + 5 = 2x + 6 - Z

Solve like terms

-x + 6 = 2x + 6 - Z

Subtract 6 from both sides

-x + 6 - 6 = 2x + 6 - 6 - Z

-x = 2x - Z

Subtract 2x from both sides

-x - 2x = 2x - 2x - Z

-3x = -Z

Multiply both sides by -1

-3x * -1 = -Z * -1

3x = Z

Reorder

Z = 3x

Hence, the missing term is 3x

If the function is y = 4.5x. Then the rate of change of the function expressed as a unit rate will be 4.5.

<h3>What is the linear system?</h3>

A linear system is one in which the parameter in the equation has a degree of one. It might have one, two, or even more variables.

A bike rental company charges a fee per hour.

The charge, in dollars, is the same each hour.

The ordered pairs (3, 13.50) and (5, 22.50) represent the corresponding hours, x, and cost, y.

Then the linear equation is given as

$\begin{aligned} \rm y - 22.5 &= \rm \dfrac{22.5 - 13.5}{5 - 3} (x- 5)\\\\\rm y - 22.5 &= \rm 4.5x - 22.5\\\\\rm y &= \rm 4.5x \end$

Then the rate of change of the function expressed as a unit rate will be

$\rm \dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{d}{dx} (4.5x )\\\\\dfrac{dy}{dx} = 4.5$

More about the linear system link is given below.
