A. He eats 1/8 a pound of candy each day.
B. It would take him a total of 8 days to eat a pound of candy.
A. Since he ate 10 ounces in 5 days, you divide 10 by 5 to find he ate 2 ounces per day. Since there are 16 ounces in a pound that would be your denominator (bottom of fraction) and 2 would be the numerator (top of your fraction). You will get 2/16 which if you simplify (divide by 2) you get 1/8.
B. Knowing that there are 16 ounces per pound and he ate 1/8 pound ( 2/16 pound or 2 ounces) a day, you can either look at the simplified denominator to get the answer, or, divide 16 by 2 to get your answer.
I hope this helps!

Answer: $59.25</h3>
========================================================
Explanation:
There are two approaches
Method 1
25% of 79 = 0.25*79 = 19.75
Mary saves $19.75 and the price before tax is 79 - 19.75 = 59.25
-----------------------------
Method 2
She saves 25% so she must pay the remaining 75%
75% of 79 = 0.75*79 = 59.25
This is a slight shortcut, and it's very useful when it comes to chaining multiple discounts together.

Answer:
7 cm, 4.4 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The side lengths can be found from the law of cosines. Each triangle has legs 3 cm and 5 cm. The angle between these will be 60° or 120°. Then the two sides of the parallelogram are ...
s = √(a² +b² -2ab·cos(C))
s = √(3² +5² -2·3·5·(±1/2)) = √(34 ±15) = {√49, √19}
The two side lengths are 7 cm and about 4.4 cm.
