Answer: "Count 2 and then count 31 more."
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the equation:
231 - 198
Now, the negative number is kinda ugly, so i will write it as:
200 - 2 = 198
Is a lot easier work with 200 and 2, than with 198.
Then the equation is now:
231 - (200 - 2)
And the left number we also have a "200", so it can be written as:
200 + 31 = 231
As this is a sum, we can ignore the parentheses.
200 + 31 - 200 + 2
31 + 2
Then the correct option is:
"Count 2 and then count 31 more."
Answer: 1/2, 1/2, 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the fraction that the hour hand turns of a clockwise revolution, we have to find how long it is going then divide by 12
Ex. a) 11 - 5 = 6, 6/12 = 1/2 so the hour hand turns by 1/2 of a clockwise revolution
b) 8 - 2 = 6, 6/12 = 1/2 so the hour hand turns by 1/2 of a clockwise revolution
c) For this, we have to convert 1 into 13 as 1 - 10 is a negative number
13 - 10 = 3, 3/12 = 1/4 so the hour hand turns by 1/4 of a clockwise revolution
Answer:
14 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equations can be solved for y by substituting for x. The first equation is convenient for writing x in terms of y.
<h3>Solution</h3>
x = 20 -y . . . . . . . subtract y from the first equation
7(20 -y) +5.5y = 119 . . . . . substitute for x in the second equation
140 -1.5y = 119 . . . . . . . . simplify
21 = 1.5y . . . . . . . . . . . add 1.5y -119 to both sides
14 = y . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 1.5
14 pounds of soy nuts should be used in the mixture.

<em>Additional comment</em>
There are many ways to solve a system of two linear equations. The attachments shows a matrix solution using a suitable calculator. It tells us that x=6 and y=14, as we found above.
Answer:
Szymborska's overall opinion of humanity in "A Contribution to Statistics" is overall positive
Step-by-step explanation:
Szymborska is a poet who likes to comment on society with irony and sarcasm.One example of this is when she splits people into categories in her poem “A Contribution to Statistics”. Here Szymborska’s overall opinion of humanity may seem negative due to her bluntness and dry humor. For example, she says in the tenth stanza, “cruel when forced by circumstances -better not to know even ballpark figures.” It’s implied in this line that most people (maybe even all)are cruel or can be. She also says, “taking only things from life -thirty”which comments how lots of people are selfish. However, this seemingly cynical poem takes a sweeter turn near the end with statistics like, “worthy of compassion - ninety-nine” and “mortal- a hundred out of a hundred.” These lines reveal that even though Szymborska believes that humanity is extremely flawed the mass majority of us deserve and are worthy of love. Plus the fact that we’re all mortal may seem dark but the fact remains that both the righteous and the sinners will all end up in the same place. The fact that no one can escape
death gives humans equality in a way. Szymborska’s overall opinion of humanity turned out to be more optimistic after all.
