Answer:

About 152 pieces of candy

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up equal proportions to solve for the $5.99 bag.

We know that 24 pieces = .99, so

\frac{25 pieces}{.99 dollars} = \frac{x pieces}{5.99 dollars}

Make sure to keep the pieces on top, and the dollars on bottom (or vice versa). If your units are messed up, it will not work.

Cross-multiply.

25(5.99) = .99x

Simplify.

149.75 = .99x

Divide both sides by .99.

x = 151.26 = about 151 pieces of candy

Ricardo spends 2 2/3 hours practicing soccer on
ladessa [460]

Answer:

10 7/12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

so we have to multiply 2 2/3 twice since he does that many hours for 2 days. We then have to multiply 1 3/4 three times since he does that many hours for 3 days. Lets first convert 2 2/3 into a mixed fraction. 2 2/3 = 3 times 2 =6 +2=8 over 3. 1 3/4=4 times 1=4+3=7 over 4. 8/3 times 2 equals 16/3 which eqials

5 1/3 hours. 7/4 times 3 equals to 21/4 which equals to 5 1/4. Lets now add

5 1/3 and 5 1/4. 5+5=10 but the fractions are not the same. Therefore, we need to make it to a common denominator. 4 times 3 equals to 12 so 4/12 plus 3/12 equals 7/12. Final answer equals to 10 7/12.

If (x + 2 ) is a factor of x3 − 6x2 + kx + 10, k =
BartSMP [9]
If a binomial x-a is a factor of a polynomial p(x), then p(a)=0.

x+2 is a factor of p(x)=x³-6x²+kx+10, so p(-2)=0.

p(-2)=0 \\
(-2)^3 - 6 \times (-2)^2 + k \times (-2) + 10=0 \\
-8-6 \times 4-2k+10=0 \\
-8-24-2k+10=0 \\
-2k-22=0 \\
-2k=22 \\
k=\frac{22}{-2} \\
\boxed{k=-11}
