Answer: C. 27/31 fluid ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's turn the mixed number into a fraction:

1\frac{1}{30}=\frac{(1*30)+1}{30} =\frac{31}{30}

Then, to solve the problem we can use a simple rule of three:

31/30 ----------3/10

  3  ----------- x

This can be read as: If to make 31/30 fluid ounces of purple you need 3/10 fluid ounces of red, then to make 3 fluid ounces of purple how many fluid ounces of red will you need?

x=\frac{3*\frac{3}{10} }{\frac{31}{30} } =\frac{\frac{9}{10} }{\frac{31}{30} }=\frac{9*30}{10*31}=\frac{270}{310}=\frac{27}{31}

So, to make 3 fluid ounces of purple paint, Isabelle will need 27/31 fluid ounces of red paint.

What are the solutions of the equation x4 – 5x2 – 36 = 0? Use factoring to solve.
pentagon [3]

Answer:

x=+/-3

Step-by-step explanation:

x^4-5x^2-36=0

factor

(x^2-9)(x^2+4)=0

split into 2 equations because one of these terms will need to equal zero for the eqation to be true

x^2-9=0              x^2+4=0

x^2=9                    x^2=-4

x=+/-3                    no real numbers
