Answer:

(Choice A) 5M

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total no. of e-mails in inbox be x

Since she read 80 % of mails i.e 80 % of x

⇒80\% \times x

⇒\frac{80}{100}\times x

⇒0.8 x

So, she read 0.8x e-mails.

So, remaining email = total e-mails - read e-mails

                                  =x-0.8x

Since we are given that Danette still has M unread e-mails.

⇒ M=x-0.8x

⇒ M=x(1-0.8)

⇒ M=x\times 0.2

⇒ \frac{M}{0.2}=x

⇒ \frac{10M}{2}=x

⇒ 5M=x

Thus the expression  represent the number of e-mails Danette had in her inbox before she started reading is 5M.

Hence Choice A is correct.

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

By doubling each day

Step-by-step explanation:

Jay is increasing  daily a fixed amount of pennies to his collection.  That's an arithmetic series, because to obtain the next term you have to do an addition.

To get a geometric series or progression you have to find the next term through multiplication.

So, if he wants to convert his series into a geometric series, he'd have to double his contribution to his collection each day (as an example).

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer: 11,544 pieces of candy are made per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

  • <em>Gallons of corn syrup used: 8 </em>
  • <em>Pieces of candy produced: 1,776 </em>
  • <em>gallons of corn syrup per hour: 52 </em>

If we apply proportions:

8 /1,776 = 52/x

Where x is the pieces of candy made per hour.

Solving

x = 52x1, 776 /8

x = 11,544

11,544 pieces of candy are made per hour.
