Answer: 8 cupcakes per box
Step-by-step explanation: "Per box" means in 1 box, so we can rewrite the given statement using fractions as
<em>48 cupcakes/6 boxes</em> = <em>__ cupcakes/1 box</em>.
To find out what goes in the blank, notice that we
have a 1 in the denominator of our second fraction.
So we want to find a fraction that is equivalent
to 48/6 that has a 1 in the denominator.
If we divide the numerator and denominator of 48/6 by 6,
we get the equivalent fraction 8/1 or <em>8 cupcakes/1 box</em>.
So now we have <em>8 cupcakes/1 box = __cupcakes/1 box</em>.
So an 8 must go in the blank which means that the unit rate
for 48 cupcakes in 6 boxes is <em>8 cupcakes per box</em>.
Answer:
-9/10
Step-by-step explanation:
- Find the LCM of 10 and 3: 30
- Alter the numerators to fit the denominators: 3 × 3 = 9, -1 × 10 = -10
- Re-write the fractions: 9/30 ÷ -10/30
- 9/30 ÷ -10/30 = 9/30 × -30/10
- 9/30 × -30/10 = -270/300
I hope this helps!
Answer: x = 7, x = -1
Step-by-step explanation: Move the term to the left side
x^2 + 2x - 7 = 8x
x^2 + 2x - 7 - 8x = 0
Combine like terms
x^2 + 2x - 7 - 8x = 0
x^2 - 6x - 7 = 0
x^2 - 6x - 7 = 0
a = 1
b = -6
c = -7
x = -(-6) + (-6)^2 - 4 x 1(-7)/ 2 x 1
Evaulate the Exponent
Multiply the numbers
Add the numbers
Evaluate the square root
Multiply the numbers x = 6 ± 8/2
To solve for the unknown variable, separate into two equations: one with a plus and the other with a minus.
x = 6 + 8/2
x = 6 - 8/2
Rearrange and isolate the variable to find each solution
x = 7
x = -1
