Divide each price by the number of cubic yards it buys to find the cost per cubic yard.

A. $165/(3 yd³) = $55/yd³

B. $240/(4 yd³) = $60/yd³

C. $300/(6 yd³) = $50/yd³

D. $360/(8 yd³) = $45/yd³ . . . . . . . this is the best price per cubic yard.

Lets get started :)

We are told that Mrs. Thymes is buying mulch for her gardens.

Let us check the price for each option:

$\boxed {Option \ A}$
3 yd³ for $165
Divide 165 by 3, to find the price per cubic yard:
$\frac{165}{3}$ = $55 per cubic yard

$\boxed {Option \ B }$
4 yd³ for $240
Do the same:
$\frac{240}{4}$ = $60 per cubic yard

$\boxed {Option \ C }$
6 yd³ for $300
$\frac{300}{6}$ = $50 per cubic yard

$\boxed {Option \ D }$
8 yd³ for $360
$\frac{360}{8}$ = $45 per cubic yard

Therefore, we can see that 8 yd³ for $360 is the best price

$\boxed {Your \ Answer \ will \ be \ Option \ D }$

What is 8/15 plus 2/5 equal to

anastassius [24]

We have to add 8/15 to 2/5.

To add two fractions we have to make them have the same denominator, so we have to convert 2/5 to have a denominator of 15. To do this, we have to multiply 2/5 by 3 and then we can add the fractions:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{8}{15}+\frac{2}{5} \\ \frac{8}{15}+\frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{3}{3} \\ \frac{8}{15}+\frac{6}{15} \\ \frac{14}{15} \end{gathered}$

Answer: 14/15

Roster Method.........

Natalija [7]

Answer:

The roster method is defined as a way to show the elements of a set by listing the elements inside of brackets. An example of the roster method is to write the set of numbers from 1 to 10 as {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10}. An example of the roster method is to write the seasons as {summer, fall, winter and spring}.Step-by-step explanation:

A closet contains n pairs of shoes. If 2r shoes are chosen at random, (where 2r < n), what is the probability that there will

We are choosing 2

Another way: A perhaps more natural way to attack the problem is to imagine choosing the shoes one at a time. The probability that the second shoe chosen does not match the first is 2−22−1
