Hello!

That one inch is divided into eight even sections.

Look at the distance between where the insect's length ends and the "1". That space in between is how long each section is. It takes eight of those to make up one inch. The insect's length take up seven of the eight sections - almost an inch. So, the length of the insect is 7/8 in.

As for 0.875, that's the decimal form of the fraction. It means the same thing.

a store received 500 containers of milk to be sold by Febuary 1. Each container the store sold $0.83 and sold for $1.67. The sto

$409.80.

The amount of net profit the store makes on each container is given by 1.67-0.83 (the amount it is sold for subtracted by the amount it costs the store), which is $0.84 per container.  They sell 470 containers, so the net profit at this point is 470(0.84) = $394.80.

However, since the distributor is giving the store a $0.50 refund on all every container under 500 that the store sells, the store gets additional money back:

500-470 = 30 containers not sold
30(0.50) = 15

So the total profit is $394.80 + 15 = $409.80.

Assign two variables for each problem, and write the equations. Do not solve.
NemiM [27]
Price of boots is represented as x, price of tennis shoes is represented as y. x-y=44.38 x+y=196.12 Isolate x. (Or y, if you wanted to) x=y+44.38 x=196.12-y Set them equal to each other. y+44.38=196.12-y Solve for y. Then plug it in to either of the two original equations to find x. x=120.24 y=75.86 Note: This is assuming that the boots are more expensive than the tennis shoes. If the tennis shoes are more expensive than the boots, then the prices would be switched. I didn't find this clear in your question.
