<span> Suppose the # of litres in the small container is 'x'.
This would make '2x' litres of water in the larger container.
After taking 8 litres from both containers, the following equation can be written:

(2x-8) = 3 (x-8)

Open the brackets:

2x-8 = 3x-24

Collect like terms:

x = 16

There were 16 litres in the smaller container</span>

Eden needs an average of 92% on her quiz scores to earn the grade she wants in science class. Each quiz is worth 20 points.
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

19 points

Step-by-step explanation:

convert points to percents:

20 points = 100%

19 points = 95%

18 points = 90%

17 points = 85%

percent-wise, her average prior to another quiz is 92.5

so if she wants to keep to maintain that average she must get 18 1/2 points; if teacher doesn't award partial credit then she needs to get a full 19 points

janet is comparing prices of bottled water. one bottle of water costs $1.92 and contains 12 ounces. another bottle of water cost
AnnyKZ [126]

Bottle 1 = $1.92 & 12 ounces

Bottle 2 = $2.40 & 16 ounces

Bottle 1

If 12 ounces costs $1.92, to determine the price of 1 ounce we divide $1.92 by 12.

$1.92 ÷ 12 = $0.16 per ounce for bottle 1.

Bottle 2

If 16 ounces costs $2.40, to determine the price of 1 ounce we divide $2.40 by 16.

$2.40 ÷ 16 = $0.15 per ounce for bottle 2.

Therefore we can determine that Bottle 2 is cheaper per ounce than Bottle 1.
