Answer:

304 brass connectors.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a box filled with brass connectors weighs 5 pounds 4 ounces. The box weighs 8 ounces when empty, and each connector weighs 0.25 ounces.  

Since we know that 1 pound equals to 16 ounces.Let us convert weight of box filled with brass connectors from pounds to ounces.

(5*16)+4=80+4=84

Now we will find weight of brass connectors by subtracting weight of empty box from weight of filled box.

84-8=76

Let us divide 76 by 0.25 to find number of brass connectors in the box.

\text{ Number of brass connectors in the box}=\frac{76}{0.25}

\text{ Number of brass connectors in the box}=304

Therefore, there are 304 connectors in the box.

What is -(5x+6)-x=-6-6x
Veronika [31]

Answer: All real numbers are solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let's solve your equation step-by-step.</u>

−(5x+6)−x=−6−6x

<u>Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.</u>

−(5x+6)−x=−6−6x

−5x+−6+−x=−6+−6x(Distribute)

(−5x+−x)+(−6)=−6x−6(Combine Like Terms)

−6x+−6=−6x−6

−6x−6=−6x−6

<u>Step 2: Add 6x to both sides.</u>

−6x−6+6x=−6x−6+6x

−6=−6

<u>Step 3: Add 6 to both sides.</u>

−6+6=−6+6

Rhonda had $300 to buy supplies for the animal shelter. She bought 8 bags of dog food and 11 leashes. Each bag of food cost $25.
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

47.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We have 8 bags of dog food and each costs $25.19

8(25.19)=201.52

And we have 11 leashes each costing $4.65.

11(4.65)=51.15

We add these totals up.

201.52+51.15=252.67

We subtract this from 300 to see how much is left.

300-252.67=47.33

Rhonda had $47.33 left after her purchases.

Have a wonderful day! :D
