Answer:

5 cakes


hope it helps

Step-by-step explanation:

if one cake feed 14 people and you are tying to fine out how many cakes you need to feed 60 people you would have to divide 60 by 14

1 cake = 14 people

? cakes = 60 people

60 ÷ 14 = 4.28

so in order to have enough for 60 people you need to round so you would need 5 cakes

to check you answer you can multiply 5 by 14 and you answer should be the amount of people

5 x 14 = 70

why  cant it be 4? well because if you buy 4 cakes there wont be enough for 60 people and to make sure it wont be enough you can multiply 4 x 14

4 x 14 = 56

so 4 cakes only feeds 56 people so that is why your answer is 5 cakes are needed

Let f(x) =[[x]], what is f(-5.2)​
ANEK [815]

flooring a value, simply means, dropping it to the closest integer, so for the floor function or ⌊x⌋, that means

⌊ 2.5 ⌋ = 2

⌊ 2.00000001 ⌋ = 2

⌊ 2.999999999999⌋ = 2

⌊ -2.0000000001⌋ = -3

⌊ -2.999999999999⌋ = -3

let's recall that on the negative side of the number line, the farther from 0, the smaller, so -1,000,000 is a tiny number compared to the much larger -1.

⌊ -5.2 ⌋ = -6.

Flauer [41]

Answer:

20x-12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

7(3x−1)−(x+5)

Step 1: Distribute the Negative Sign:

=7(3x−1)+−1(x+5)

=7(3x−1)+−1x+(−1)(5)

=7(3x−1)+−x+−5

Step 2: Distribute:

=(7)(3x)+(7)(−1)+−x+−5

=21x+−7+−x+−5

Step 3: Combine  

=21x+−7+−x+−5

=(21x+−x)+(−7+−5)

=20x+−12

Answer:

Bathroom per day = 3

Average profit of Bathroom = $1,200 per hour

Part B.

Total Earning = ($1,200 x 3 ) + ($1,100 x 9 ) = $3,600 + $9,900 = $13,500
