so, three bags can be filled and 0.33 or 0.33*(1/3) =11/100 nails will be left

Step-by-step explanation:

We will get the number of bags that can be filled from 5/12 by dividing the total amount by the 1/8

Given

Total nails in bag = 5/12 pounds

The capacity of small bag = 1/8 pounds

So,

$Number\ of\ bags = \frac{\frac{5}{12}}{\frac{1}{8}}\\Simplifying\\=\frac{5}{12}*\frac{8}{1}\\=\frac{40}{12}\\=3.33\ bags$

so, three bags can be filled and 0.33*(1/3) = 11/100 nails will be left

<h3>Answer:</h3>

C. (9x -1)(x +4) = 9x² +35x -4
B. 480
A. P(t) = 4(1.019)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

1. See the attachment for the filled-in diagram. Adding the contents of the figure gives the sum at the bottom, matching selection C.

2. If we let "d" represent the length of the second volyage, then the total length of the two voyages is ...

... (d+43) + d = 1003

... 2d = 960 . . . . . . . subtract 43

... d = 480 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The second voyage lasted 480 days.

3. 1.9% - 1.9/100 = 0.019. Adding this fraction to the original means the original is multiplied by 1 +0.019 = 1.019. Doing this multiplication each year for t years means the multiplier is (1.019)^t.

Since the starting value (in 1975) is 4 (billion), the population t years after that is ...

... P(t) = 4(1.019)^t

Help please I’ll make it brainliest!!!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

it is very simple, once you remember that "kilo" means 1000, "mili" means 1/1000, and "centi" means 1/100.

and therefore 1 cg = 10 mg, or 1 cm = 10 mm.

"deci" means 1/10.

and therefore 1 dm = 100 mm, 1dg = 100 mg.

9.32 kg = 9.32×1000 = 9320 g

1.429 g = 1.429/1000 = 0.001429 kg

287 g = 287/1000 = 0.287 kg

4.6 L = 4.6×1000 = 4600 mL

0.119 L = 0.119×1000 = 119 mL

9936 mL = 9936/1000 = 9.936 L

26793 mL = 26793/1000 = 26.793 L

0.06 L = 0.06×1000 = 60 mL

170 cg = 170×10 = 1700 mg

10.

2674 cm = 2674/100 = 26.74 m

11.

9.05 mm = 9.05/100 = 0.0905 dm

12.

2 L = 2×1000 = 2000 mL

13.

62.4 L = 62.4×1000 = 62400 mL

14.

99.9 mm = 99.9/1000 = 0.0999 m

15.

4.34 g = 4.34×100 = 434 cg

16.

10 km = 10×1000 m = 10×1000×1000 = 10000000 mm

17.

65 cL = 65/100 = 0.65 L

18.

105 mL = 105/1000 = 0.105 L

19.

0.27 g = 0.27×100 = 27 cg

20.

7777 m = 7777/1000 = 7.777 km

The school store opened on the first day of school with 45 notebooks and 15 pencils. Within two days it sold all of these items.

malfutka [58]

The number of pencils sold on the first day is 5 pencils.

The number of notebooks sold on the first day is 10 notebooks.

The number of pencils sold on the second day 10 pencils.

The number of notebooks sold on the second day 35 notebooks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data,

The total number of notebooks in the store = 45 notebooks.
The total number of Pencils in the store = 15 pencils.
The number of days that all items were sold = 2 days.

Now, you have to calculate the no.of notebooks and no. of pencils sold each day.

In the first day :

The number of sale of notebooks and pencils are given by,

Twice as many notebooks were sold as pencils.

Let us take, the number of pencils sold on the first day = x

And, the number of notebooks sold on the first day = 2x (Twice as pencils).

In the second day :

The number of sale of notebooks and pencils are given by,

For every 7 notebooks sold, 2 pencils were sold.

The number of pencils sold on the second day = 2y

The number of notebooks sold on the second day = 7y

The equation is framed for number of notebooks sold on each day :

The number of notebooks sold ⇒ 2x + 7y = 45 -------(1)

The equation is framed for number of pencils sold on each day :

The number of pencils sold: x + 2y = 15 ----------(2)

Solving the equations by multiplying eq(2) by 2 and subtract it from eq(1),

2x + 7y = 45

- (2x + 4y) = 30

3y = 15

⇒ y = 15/3

⇒ y = 5

The value of y is 5.

Substitute y=5 in eq (2),

⇒ x + 2(5) = 15

⇒ x + 10 = 15

⇒ x = 15 - 10

⇒ x = 5

The value of x is 5.

First day sale,

The number of pencils sold on the first day = x ⇒ 5 pencils

The number of notebooks sold on the first day = 2x ⇒ 10 notebooks

Second day sale,

The number of pencils sold on the second day = 2y ⇒ 10 pencils

The number of notebooks sold on the second day = 7y ⇒ 35 notebooks.
