Answer: 9 gallons

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Set up the proportion, then multiply to solve for the variable.

\dfrac{\frac{1}{2}\ \text{gallon}}{4\ \text{pints}}=\dfrac{x}{72\ \text{pints}}

(72\ \text{pints})\dfrac{\frac{1}{2}\ \text{gallon}}{4\ \text{pints}}=(72\ \text{pints)}\dfrac{x}{72\ \text{pints}}

\dfrac{36\ \text{gallons}}{4}=x}

9 gallons = x

Sheila bought 10 1⁄2 oz of almonds for $3.36. how much did the almonds cost per ounce?
Verdich [7]
Cost per ounce means you take the cost and divide it by the cost: 

<span>3.36 / (21/2) </span>

<span>division of fractions changes to the multiplication of the reciprocal: </span>

<span>3.36 * (2 / 21) </span>

<span>3.36 and has 21 as a factor, so let's cancel it: </span>

<span>0.16 * 2 </span>

<span>$0.32 per ounce</span>

Solve this equation. 5n+7=7(n+1)-2n
9966 [12]
Distribute 7 to both n and 1

7(n + 1) = 7n + 7

5n + 7 = 7n + 7 - 2n

Combine like terms

5n + 7 = 7n - 2n + 7

5n + 7 = 5n + 7

If you want to solve for n, subtract 7 from both sides

5n + 7 (-7) = 5n + 7 (-7)

5n = 5n

then divide 5 from both sides

5n/5 = 5n/5

n = n

Effectively, this equation is <em>unsolvable</em>
