Answer:
D. 127
Step-by-step explanation:
Because our spinner is split up evenly 8 ways, we a have a 1/8th chance of getting 6 with any given spin. We will want to pick the number that is the closest to one 1/8th of 1104 from our options at the right.
Let's check them one by one. Note that 1/8 as a decimal is .125, if you are using a calculator to do this problem, decimals will be fastest and we'll work with those here.
A) 291/1104 = .264
B) 117/1104 = .106
C) 209/1104 = .189
D) 127/ 1104 = .115
Our closest number to .125 (ie, 1/8th) is .115. or 127 out of 1,104 spins.
4lbs of Apples
6lbs of Bananas
You can get this by setting up a system of equations to solve for the amount needed. Let x = lbs of apples and y = bounds of bananas. You can have a total weight function of x + y = 10 and a cost function of .75x + .5y = 6. Solve by multiplying the cost function by -2 and adding through.
5 * 7 = 35. App. 35 meatballs will be eaten.
12 + 12 + 12 = 36.
If he wants to have enough meatballs for everyone at the party, he needs to thaw out 3 pounds of hamburger meat.
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
You can reduce the fractions, then:
Rewrite them as following:
If you subtract the first number and the second number, you obtain:
If you subtract the second number and the second number, you obtain:
Therefore, you must subtract 
and to obtain the number asked. Then, this is:
(8 + 16)
8 and 16 have three common factors . . . 2, 4, and 8 .
We can factor any of them out of the problem.
The greatest common factor is 8 . Let's factor that one out.
(8 + 16) = 8 (1 + 2)
