Answer: First option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pieces of candy = 252

Number of ounces jar is it = 14

We need to find the number of pieces of candy should be there in the jar per ounce.

So, it becomes

Number of pieces of candy per ounce is given by

\dfrac{\text{Number of pieces of candy}}{\text{Quantity of jar}}\\\\=\dfrac{252}{14}\\\\=18

Hence, there are 18 pieces of candy per ounce in the jar.

Therefore, First option is correct.

"Per" essentially means "divided by." To find pieces per ounce, divide pieces by ounces.


(252 pieces)/(14 ounces) = (252/14) pieces/ounce = 18 pieces/ounce

The second option. The 5.5w part shows that its $5.50 times each window. The -3.25 is because he deducted 3.25 from the total. And then you have the price that he got on the other side. 

Here's the work to find the windows in case you want it:
5.5w-3.25=35.25
5.5w=38.50
w=7
He washed 7 windows

Let's say we placed dominoes close together such that they only fell over one way: to the right hand side. Let's call the dominoes A and B.

Domino A is to the left of domino B. If we push over domino A, then it will hit domino B to cause it to fall over as well. We have a mini chain reaction of sorts. The fall of A triggers the fall of B, but not the other way around.

For this problem, we can think of domino A as "Jillian gets a raise" and domino B as "she will buy a new car". The raise causes her to get a new car, but not vice versa.

Since we're told in the last sentence she definitely got the raise, this must mean she will definitely get the new car.

In terms of symbols, the law of detachment is stated as

  • If P, then Q
  • P is true
  • Therefore Q is true

Side note: some books might use the term "modus ponens" instead of "law of detachment". They're the same thing.

Please Help!. Consider the function. f (x) = 1/2x +1. a. Find the inverse of f(x) and name it g(x). Show and explain your work.
Artist 52 [7]
The inverse of a function is determined by substituting f(x) by y and expressing the function in terms of x = ... Then exchange the places of x and y. In this problem, y = 0.5 x -1; x = 2(y+1) . Then g(x) = y = 2x +2. The graphs are linear but g(x) has a larger slope compared to f(x).
