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 area of one of the smaller circles is 8/ in². Find the area of the shaded region.

Ksju [112]

Answer:

Area of shaded region = 16π in² (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete without the diagram if the circles. Find attached the diagram used in solving the question.

Area of the smaller circle = 8π in²

Area of a circle = πr²

πr² = 8π

r² =8

r = √8 = 2√2

From the diagram, there are two smaller circles in a bigger circle.

The radius of the bigger circle (R) is 2times the radius of the smaller circle (r)

R = 2r

Area of bigger circle = πR²

= π×(2r)² = π×(2×2√2)²

= π×(4√2)² = π×16×(√2)²

Area of bigger circle = π×16×2

Area of bigger circle = 32π in²

Since there are two smaller circles in a bigger circle

Area of shaded region = Area of bigger circle -2(area of smaller circles)

Area of shaded region = 32π in² - 2(8π in²)

Area of shaded region = 32π in² - 16π in²

Area of shaded region = 16π in²

Using excel, answer the following questions. Write down the Excel formulas used at each step.1. General Junkfoods has collected

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

The average weight produced

The question is incomplete, as the required cells are not given and there are other missing details.

However, I will give a general explanation of calculating average in Excel

The required formula is:

=AVERAGE(Cell Range)

Assume the cells that contain the boxes are: cells A10 to A10010

The average will be calculated as:

=AVERAGE(A10:A10010)

Eli is making a party mix that contains pretzels and chex. For each cup of pretzels, he uses 3 cups of chex. He wants to make 12

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

36 cups of Chex total.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, he will obviously be using 12 cups of pretzels, so let's set that aside. For every cup of pretzels, there are 3 cups of chex. So, multiply 3x12. That will give you how much chex you will need.

Find each quotient. Write in simplest form. keep answer as fraction - not decimal

kirill [66]

So we are given the expression:

$\frac{mn^{2}}{4}$ ÷ $\frac{m^{2}n}{8}$

When we divide fractions, we must flip the second term and change the sign to multiplication:

$\frac{mn^{2}}{4} *\frac{8}{m^{2}n}$

And then we multiply across:

$\frac{mn^{2}}{4} *\frac{8}{m^{2}n}= \frac{8mn^{2}}{4m^{2}n}$

Then we can break apart all of the like variables for simplification:

$\frac{8mn^{2}}{4m^{2}n}=\frac{8}{4} * \frac{m}{m^{2}} *\frac{n^{2}}{n}$

When we simplify variables through division, we subtract the exponent of the numerator from the exponent of the denominator. So we then have:

$\frac{8}{4} =2$

$\frac{m}{m^{2}}=m^{-1} =\frac{1}{m}$

$\frac{n^{2}}{n}=n^{1}=\frac{n}{1}$

So then we multiply all of these simplified parts together:

$\frac{2}{1}*\frac{1}{m}*\frac{n}{1} =\frac{2n}{m}$

So now we know that the simplified form of the initial expression is: $\frac{2n}{m}$ .
