Answer:

D: 768

Step-by-step explanation:

First, he divides a piece of paper in half.

1 \div  \frac{1}{2}  = 2

He gets two pieces.

Next, he cuts each of the pieces into three parts.

2 \div  \frac{1}{3}  = 6

Thirdly, he cuts each of the 6 pieces into 8 pieces.

6 \div  \frac{1}{8}  = 48

Lastly, he divides each piece into 16 parts.

48 \div  \frac{1}{16}  = 768

He has 768 pieces in the end. (D)

Can you explain step by step for #15 and #16 I have a test on this tomorrow
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

15.

\left\{\begin{array}{l}x+y=50\\0.2x+0.1y=6\end{array}\right.

16. 10 ml of 20% saline and 40 ml of 10% saline

Step-by-step explanation:

A chemist takes x ml of 20% saline and y ml of 10% saline. In total, he takes

x + y ml that is 50 ml, so

x + y = 50.

There are  0.2x ml of salt in x ml of 20% saline and 0.1y ml of salt in 10% saline. There are 0.12\cdot 50=6 ml of salt in 50 ml of 12% saline. Thus,

0.2x+0.1y=6

15. We get the system of two equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}x+y=50\\0.2x+0.1y=6\end{array}\right.

16. Solve this system. From the first equation:

x=50-y

Substitute it into the second equation:

0.2(50-y)+0.1y=6\\ \\10-0.2y+0.1y=6\\ \\-0.1y=6-10\\ \\-0.1y=-4\\ \\y=40\\ \\x=50-y=50-40=10
