She has 5.5 pounds and wants to split it into 50 bags. 

<span>This is a division problem. She wants to divide 5.5 pound into 50 bag: </span>

<span>5.5 / 50 = 1.1 / 10</span>

<span>As far as "place-value reasoning" goes, she could realize that dividing by 10 is the same thing as moving the decimal place to the left, so: </span>

<span>1.1 / 10 </span>
<span>=  0.11 pounds on each bag

Answer:

0.11 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Kendra has a pounds of popcorn =5.5 ponds

Number of bags in which popcorn to be packed=50 bags

To find amount of popcorn in each bag divide 5.5 pounds

Amount of popcorn in each bag =5.5÷50

Amount of popcorn in each bag= 0.11 pounds

Hence, the correct answer is 0.11 pounds

Is the binomial a factor of the polynomial function?
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

YES

NO

NO

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial is: $ f(x) =  x^3 + 4x^2 - 25x - 100 $

(x - a) is a factor of a polynomial iff x = a is a solution to the polynomial.

To check if (x - 5) is a factor of the polynomial f(x), we substitute x = 5 and check if it satisfies the equation.

∴ f(5) = 5³ + 4(5)² - 25(5) - 100

        = 125 + 100 - 125 - 100

        = 225 - 225

        = 0

We see, x = 5 satisfies f(x). So, (x - 5) is a factor to the polynomial.

Now, to check (x + 2) is a factor.

i.e., to check x = - 2 satisfies f(x) or not.

f(-2) = (-2)³ + 4(-2)² - 25(-2) - 100

      = -8 + 16 + 50 - 100

     = -108 + 66

     ≠ 0

Therefore, (x  + 2) is not a factor of f(x).

To check (x - 4) is a factor.

∴ f(4) = 4³ + 4(4)² - 25(4) - 100

        = 64 + 64 - 100 - 100

        = 128 - 200

        ≠ 0

Therefore, (x - 4) is not a factor of f(x).

Mr. West is standing on a cliff that is 25 1/5meters above the surface of the ocean. He spots a dolphin that is 2 3/5 meters und
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Total distance from Mr. West to dolphin =27\frac{4}{5}\ meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of cliff on which Mr. West is standing above the surface of ocean =25 \frac{1}{5} \ meters

Mr. West spot the dolphin under the water at a depth of =  2\frac{3}{5} \ meters

∴ Total distance from Mr. West to dolphin=(25 \frac{1}{5}+2\frac{3}{5})\ meters

Adding mixed numbers

(25 \frac{1}{5}+2\frac{3}{5})

Adding whole numbers first.

=25+2+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{3}{5}\\=27+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{3}{5}

Adding fractions by taking LCD.

=27+\frac{1+3}{5}\\=27+\frac{4}{5}\\=27\frac{4}{5}\ meters
