To solve an equation with a rational (fraction) coefficient you need to multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal (invert the fraction - flip it).
The reciprocal of 1/6 is 6/1 or 6
The product of reciprocals equals 1
1x = 24
x = 24
One dozen eggs is 48 eggs. Altogether that costs 40 dollars. If six of the eggs were broken then the money wasted would be 5 dollars.
The reason that it is 5 dollars is becuase it takes 10 to buy 12 eggs, and half of that is 6. So divide both 12 and 10 (separately) and you get 5 dollars for 6 eggs.
To get the percent you must divide 5 by 40.
The answer comes out to about 12.5% or 0.125.
So in the end, 12.5% of the money was wasted due to the broken eggs.
Hope this helped!
Answer:
22/11=2 2x8=16
16 ounces = 1 pound
Step-by-step explanation:
a. 2 ounces per day
b. 8 days to eat 1 pound of cady
X + 3y = 7
x = -3y + 7
2x + 4y = 8
2(-3y + 7) + 4y = 8
-6y + 14 + 4y = 8
-6y + 4y = 8 - 14
-2y = - 6
y = -6/-2
y = 3
x + 3y = 7
x + 3(3) = 7
x + 9 = 7
x = 7 - 9
x = -2
solution is (-2,3)
The points L(10,9)L(10,9), M(10,-5)M(10,-5), N(-1,-5)N(-1,-5), and O(-1,9)O(-1,9) form rectangle LMNOLMNO. Which point is halfwa

You are trying to find the halfway point between OO and NN.
OO: (-1,9) NN: (-1,5)
The x-coordinate does not change, because in both instances it is -1. The y-coordinate is (9-5)/2 AWAY from each point. AKA the number that is equidistant from 5 and 9 (7).
