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

Suppose you had D dollars in your bank account. you spent $22 but have at least $28 left. how much money did you have initially?

nalin [4]

Answer:

Answer:

d--22→ 28

d→ 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d dollars be the initial amount in your bank account.

We have been given that you spent $22, so the amount left after spending $22 will be: .

We are also told that after spending $22, you have at least $28. This means that the amount left after spending $22 will be greater than or equal to $28.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

Therefore, the inequality represents the initial amount of money you had.

Now let us solve for d by adding 22 to both sides of our inequality.

Therefore, initially you had at least $50.

In two or more complete sentences describe whether or not the given relation represents a function.

vichka [17]

To be a function each x-value (input) should have only one y-value (output). Here you can see when x=2 it has an output of either 5 or 1. Therefore, the relation is NOT a function.

What is the relationship between the ratios? 16/72 and 8/32 Drag and drop to complete the statement. The ratios are . proportion

Yuki888 [10]

These ratios are not proportional.

Explanation:

If the ratio 8:32 were simplified, it would equal 1:4 because they can both be divided by 8. But since 16 x 4 does not equal 72, they cannot be divided by 4 to make a simplified ratio such as the first example.
