A grocery store bought milk for $2.50 per half gallon and stored it in two refrigerators. During the night, one refrigerator mal

functioned and ruined 14 half gallons. If the remaining milk is sold for $3.98 per half gallon, how many half gallons did the store buy if they made a profit of $74.52?

In this problem, we let x be the number of half gallons of milk the store bought, and x-12 be the remaining half gallonsWe use the equation profit = revenue-cost
88.08=4.02(x-12)-2.60x88.08=4.02x-48.24-2.6x1.42x=88.08+48.24=136.32x=136.32/1.42=96Hence, the number of half gallons of milk the store bought is 96

$\frac{39}{64} \times \frac{8}{13}$

Factor each term to obtain;

$\frac{13\times 3}{8\times8} \times \frac{8}{13}$

Cancel out the common factors to obtain;

$\frac{1\times 3}{8\times1} \times \frac{1}{1}$

Simplify to get;

$\frac{3}{8}$

QUESTION B

The given multiplication problem is

$\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{1}{5}\times \frac{4}{7}$

This the same as

$\frac{2\times 1\times 4}{3\times 5\times 7}$

This simplifies to;

$\frac{8}{105}$

QUESTION C

The given problem is

$\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{10}{12} \times \frac{1}{2}$

Solve for x<br> 3x+5≡0 mod 9

Whitepunk [10]

3x+5=0

3x=0-5

3x=-5

Divide both sides by 3

-1.6666.......

Hope it helps.

As for mod 9, I don't understand.

Slope = 4, passing through (-6, 8)

Mademuasel [1]

The point slope form is y - 8 = 4(x + 6) and the slope intercept form would be y = 4x + 32.

In order to find this, we'll start with the base form of point-slope form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1) ----> Plug in the numbers

y - 8 = 4(x - -6) ----> Simplify

y - 8 = 4(x + 6)

Now to find slope intercept form, solve for y.

y - 8 = 4(x + 6) ----> distribute the 4

y - 8 = 4x + 24 -----> add 8 to both sides

y = 4x + 32
