Answer:
70
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to use ratios. If 5 of 12 members bought water, then x of 168 members will buy water.
70 members will buy bottled water.
Answer:
First make mixed
15 x 5 = 75+1=76
76/5
2x8=16+2=18
18/8
Divide
76/5 / 18/8
Use the reciprocal and multiply
76/5 x 8/18
76x8=608
5x18=90
608/90
Simplify
608/2=304
90/2=45
304/45
6 and 34/45 meat loaves
Hope this helps
Step-by-step explanation:
|a| = b gives
a =b or a = -b
so,
|-x| = -10
gives
-x = -10 or -x = 10
x = 10, -10
now let us verify,
when x = 10, |-10| = +10 and it is not = -10
so, x= 10 is NOT a solution.
when x = -10, |-(-10)| = |10| = 10 and it is not = -10
so, x= -10 is NOT a solution.
hence, this equation does not have a solution.
If we know that |...| can never be negative, we can directly deduce that this equation does not have any solution.
Any linear equation can be written as
y = mx+b
where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
m = 1/2 in this case. It represents the idea that the snow fell at a rate of 1/2 inch per hour. In other words, the snow level went up 1/2 an inch each time an hour passed by.
b = 8 is the y intercept. It's the starting amount of snow. We start off with 8 inches of snow already.
The info "snow fell for 9 hours" doesn't appear to be relevant here.
