Fraction of shampoo left = \frac{13}{24}

Solution:

Given fraction of full shampoo  =\frac{7}{8}.

Fraction of shampoo Margaret used  =\frac{1}{3}

Fraction of shampoo left = Full shampoo – fraction of shampoo used

                                          =\frac{7}{8}-\frac{1}{3}

To make the denominators same do cross multiplication.

                                          =\frac{7\times3}{8\times3}-\frac{1\times8}{3\times8}

                                          =\frac{21}{24}-\frac{8}{24}

                                          =\frac{21-8}{24}

                                          =\frac{13}{24}

Hence \frac{13}{24} of the shampoo bottle is left.

Hi there! The answer is A.

t = 2(s + 2)
To get a proper idea of the type of function this formula represents we work out the parenthesis.

Working out the parenthesis can for instance be done using rainbow technique.
t = 2s + 4

We can now see sinilarities between this function an the general function of a line in slope intercept form
y = mx + n

The function t therefore describes a line with slope 2 and y-intercept 4. Therefore the answer is A.

These fees are placed in order for the services of the financial institutions to continue and these are also mandated and regulated by the government.
