Hey there! :)

Answer:

133 pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

If 7 pieces of cardstock sell for $3, we can set up a proportion to determine the amount of pieces bought in pieces/ money spent:

$\frac{7}{3} = \frac{x}{57}$

Cross multiply:

7 · 57 = 3 · x

399 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3:

x = 133 pieces. This is the amount of pieces bought.

To make fruit punch for a party, we need 4 1⁄2 gallons of ginger ale, 1 gallon of strawberry juice, 2 3⁄4 gallons of frozen oran

lina2011 [118]

For this case we convert the mixed numbers to fractions:

$4 \frac {1} {2} = \frac {2 * 4 + 1} {2} = \frac {9} {2}\\2 \frac {3} {4} = \frac {4 * 2 + 3} {4} = \frac {11} {4}$

Now we add the fractions:

$\frac{9} {2}+1+ \frac {11} {4} + \frac {1} {8} =$

We find the least common multiple of the denominators. The l.c.m is 8, then we divide by each denominator and multiply the result by each numerator.

$\frac {36 + 8 + 22 + 1} {8} =\\\frac {67} {8} =$

8,375

Thus, the punch recipe implies 8.375 gallons. If we convert to a mixed number we have:

$8 \frac {3} {8}$ gallons

Answer:

$8 \frac {3} {8}$ gallons

A number picked at random from the numbers 1 through 15 is prime. This "question" is on my study guide for Unit 6 Probability an

Sphinxa [80]

Solution:

we are given that

A number picked at random from the numbers 1 through 15 is prime.

As we know the number between 1 and 15 which are primes are listed below

2,3,5,7,11,13.

Here total number of favourable outcomes are 6.

The numbers 1 through 15 are as below:

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15.

Here total number of possible outcoes are 15.

Hence the probability that if a number picked at random from the numbers 1 through 15 is prime $=\frac{6}{15}=\frac{2}{5}=0.40$

Hence the probability that if a number picked at random from the numbers 1 through 15 is prime is 0.4

Write the equation of a line ( slope intercept form y = mx + b)

Sidana [21]

Answer:

y=1/4x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

i knew the general equation of the line and i knew the slope would be a fraction because the line is rlly flat

-1 would be the b and i plugged in simple fraction values for m

i checked in desmos and they look similar

hope this helps and is correct <3
