Polly buys 14 cupcakes for a party. The bakery puts them into boxes that hold 4 cupcakes each.

Temka [501]

Answer:

Part a) The number of boxes needed will be 4

part b) The fraction of the box that is empty is $\frac{1}{2}$

Part c) Are needed 2 cupcakes to fill the last box

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) How many boxes will be needed for Polly to bring all the cupcakes to the party?

To find out the number of boxes needed, divide the total number of cupcakes by 4 (maximum number of cupcakes that fit in each box).

$\frac{14}{4}=3.5\ box$

Round up

The number of boxes needed will be 4

Part b) If the bakery completely fills as many boxes as possible, what fraction of the last box is empty?

we know that

The maximum number of cupcakes per box is 4

The first three boxes have 4 cupcakes

The last box has

$14-3(4)=2\ cupcakes$

The fraction of the box that is empty is equal to the number of cupcakes missing to fill the box divided by the cupcake capacity of the box

$\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

Part c) How many more cupcakes are needed to fill this box

Subtract the number of cupcakes in the box from the cupcake capacity of the box

The last box has 2 cupcakes

The cupcake capacity of the box is 4

$4-2=2\ cupcakes$

therefore

Are needed 2 cupcakes to fill the last box

Can anyone help me with number 17?

nalin [4]

S= sides

24.2+ 2s= 45.56

2s= 45.56-24.2

2s= 21.36

S= 21.36/2

S= 10.68

Each of the same-length sides are 10.68 meters.

Hope this helps!

Which is the graph of an odd monomial function?

malfutka [58]

In order for a function to be odd, we know that f(-x) = -f(x)
Hence, the only graphs that are odd are the cubics.

Now, a monomial is defined as an equation with only one term in it. Since the first two is shifted, they must consist of at least 2 terms.

Hence, the only viable answer is the third graph.

10) Solve the system by the elimination method. Check the solution.

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

x =2, y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$x + 2y = 6....(1) \\ -x + 5y = 8....(2) \\ adding \: equations \: (1) \: and \: (2) \\ x + 2y = 6\\ -x + 5y = 8 \\ - - - - - - - \\ 7y = 14 \\ y = \frac{14}{7} \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ y = 2}} \\ substituting \: y = 2 \: in \: equation \: (1) \\ x + 2 \times 2 = 6 \\ x + 4 = 6 \\ x = 6 - 4 \\\huge \purple{ \boxed{ x = 2}} \\ \\ \huge \orange{ \boxed{(x, \: y) = (2, \: 2)}}$
