The blank is -8 because -6 +-8=-14+-3=-17.
Answer: total number of teaspoons of spices in the dish =3.25 teaspoons
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Listing the spices and their quantities , we have
Salt = 1/2 teaspoon
Orégano =1 1/4 teaspoon =5/4 teaspoons
Basil = 3/4 teaspoon
Pepper= in half as much pepper as salt -- This means that the quantity of pepper should be 50% more in quantity than salt
Therefore quantity of pepper = 50% x 1/2 = 0.5 x 0.5= 0.25
0.25 + 1/2 = 0.25 + 0.5 = 0.75 = 3/4 teaspoon of pepper.
Step 2
Adding the amount of spices we have
1/2 + 5/4+ 3/4+ 3/4 = 2+ 5+3+ 3/4 = 13/4 = 3 1/4 teaspoons of spices = 3.25 teaspoons of spices .
X= (85+92+88+98)/4
The slash means to divide. So you’re making a fraction with all the scores on top and the number of scores on the bottom.
Unsure of what you're asking.
If you have an algebraic expression in front of you and see a number there, you could label it as "known" or "a known quantity." Another word that comes to mind is "constant."
