Answer:

Assuming x is the number, then $x=1.6$

Step-by-step explanation:

If the product of a number and 5 is 8, the equation becomes:

$5x=8$ (assuming x is the unknown number).

We can isolate the variable x by dividing both sides by 5.

$5x\div5 = 8\div5\\x = 1.6$

Hope this helped!

briana house is at (1,6) and jordan house is(5,3) what is one possible path from brianna house to jordan house

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

A (1,6)------> location Brianna's house on a map

B (5,3)------> location Jordan's house on a map

we know that

One possible path from Brianna's house to Jordan's house it's a straight line ( the shortest distance)

using a graph tool

see the attached figure

Find the distance points AB

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

substitute the values

$d_A_B=\sqrt{(3-6)^{2}+(5-1)^{2}}$

$d_A_B=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(4)^{2}}$

$d_A_B=\sqrt{25}$

$d_A_B=5\ units$

The distance from Brianna's house to Jordan's house is 5 units

Joe needs to buy supplies for a birthday party. At the store, balloons cost $0.50 each and party hats each cost $1.25. If Joe wa

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

$0.50b+1.25h=20$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b be the number of balloons and h be number of party hats.

We have been given that balloons cost $0.50 each, so cost of b balloons will be 0.50b.

We are also told that party hats each cost $1.25, so cost of h party hats will be 1.25h.

Further, Joe wants to spend exactly $20 on the party supplies. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$0.50b+1.25h=20$

Therefore, the equation $0.50b+1.25h=20$ represents the number of balloons ( b) and the number of party hats ( h) that Joe can buy spending exactly $20.
