5.8144144144.. is the quotient
144 is the repetend
Answer:
5 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
hi! to find the sum of the soup mix, we have to add all the fractions together.
7/4 + 1/2 + 5/3 + 1/3 +1/4 + 1/2
we have to find a common denominator for each, which is the LCM of the denominators. this would be 12. let's change the fractions so we can add them up.
21/12 + 6/12 + 20/12 + 4/12 + 3/12 + 6/12
add the numerators and keep the denominators the same.
(21+6+20+4+3+6)/12
60/12
this simplifies to 5.
the total amount of soup mix is 5 cups.
This involves a quick application of the power rule, which is

.
First, it is helpful to rewrite

as

. Remember that these are equivalent forms, but the latter is easier to use with the power rule.
We apply the power rule and simply:
Solve for the value of Y using the first equation, 3x-7, and then plug in 3x-7 wherever you see Y, because Y=3x-7. You can find X and then use that value of X and plug it into the equation to solve for Y
