Answer:The fraction of the almonds that Roberto and his friends ate is 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total number of almonds in the bag initially. He shares 1/8 bag with Jeremy. This means that the amount of almonds that he gave to Jeremy is 1/8 × x = x/8

He shares 2/8 bag with Emily. This means that the amount of almonds that he gave to Emily is 2/8 × x = 2x/8

He eats 3/8 bag of the almonds himself. This means that the amount of almonds that he ate is 3/8 × x = 3x/8

Total number of almonds that Robert and his friends ate would be

x/8 + 2x/8 + 3x/8 = 6x/8 = 3x/4

The fraction of the almonds that Roberto and his friends ate would be

(3x/4)/x = 3/4

The range of 16,23,55,64,49
miskamm [114]

Answer: 48

Step-by-step explanation: To find the range of the data set shown here, remember that the range is the difference between the greatest number in the data set and the least number in the data set.

<em>Greatest number</em> → 64

<em>Least number → </em>16

Now, we need to subtract 16 from 64.

64 - 16 = 48

Therefore, the range of the data set is 48.

The temperature, t, in degrees Fahrenheit, can be found by counting the number of cricket chirps, c, heard in 14 seconds and the
dem82 [27]
Answers:
- All values of t must be positive
- A viable solution is (10, 50)


- All values of t must be positive. 
EXPLANATION
t, temperature (in Fahrenheit) is dependent on c
c is the number of cricket chirps heard in 14 seconds
Therefore, all values of c must be positive integers
If all values of c must be positive integers
Then all values of t must also be positive integers

- A viable solution is (10, 50).
EXPLANATION
t = c + 40
Since 10 is a positive integer, it is a possible value for c

If c = 10
t = 10 + 10
t = 50
Therefore a viable solution is (10, 50)

EXPLANATION FOR WHY OTHER OPTIONS ARE WRONG:
- The graph is continuous. 
This is WRONG because this function only allows the values of c to be only certain points in the interval (only positive integers). Therefore, it is a discrete function.

- A viable solution is (–2, 38)
This is WRONG because the -2 is a negative integer, and the value of c cannot be a negative integer.

- A viable solution is (0.5, 40.5)
This is WRONG because 0.5 is not an integer, and all values of t must also be positive integers.
