Answer:

About $0.10 per ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

12 pound costs $18.75. Lets find the cost per pound first:

Cost Per Pound = $\frac{18.75}{12}=1.5625$

We know, there are 16 ounces in 1 pound.

We know 1 pound costs 1.5625

To find cost per ounce, we have to divide this by 16.

So,

Cost Per Ounce = $\frac{1.5625}{16}=0.097$

Rounded to nearest cent, that would be 10 cents per ounce

Answer:

$x = \frac{4}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Winning Percentage = 0.444 repeating

Required

Represent as a fraction

Represent the percentage with x

$x = 0.444$

Convert to fraction

$x = \frac{444}{1000}$

Next step, is to convert to fraction repeating

To do this, we simply subtract 1 from the denominator

$x = \frac{444}{1000 - 1}$

$x = \frac{444}{999}$

Simplify to the lowest term: Divide numerator and denominator by 37

$x = \frac{444/37}{999/37}$

$x = \frac{12}{27}$

Simplify to the lowest term: Divide numerator and denominator by 3

$x = \frac{12/3}{27/3}$

$x = \frac{4}{9}$

Hence;

There winning fraction is $\frac{4}{9}$

Explain why statement 3^(-2)=-6 is false

malfutka [58]

Answer: -9

Step-by-step explanation: You are not doing 3(-2) to get -6. That's incorrect. What you are supposed to do is multiply the base which is 3 and then multiply it with -2 so that would 3(3) twice and don't forget the negative in front of the two so that would be -9 as the correct answer. :)
