If you only have 5 quart pitcher and a 3 quart pitcher, how do you measure 1 quart

Use the 3 quart pitcher to fill the 5 quart pitcher twice.
The second time you pour the 3 quart pitcher into the 5 quart pitcher, you will only be able to pour 2 quarts out, because then the 5 quart pitcher will be full.
Since you will be pouring 2 quarts out of the 3 quart pitcher, there will be 1 quart left in the 3 quart pitcher.

I'm not sure if I explained that in a way that makes sense, if I didn't just PM me or leave a comment or something and I'll try to explain better.

Hope this helps!!

Which polynomial correctly combines the like term and express the given polynomial in standard form

ankoles [38]

Answer:

$8mn^5 - 2m^6 + 5m^2n^4 - m^3n^3 + n^6 - 4m^6 + 9m^2n^4 - mn^5 - 4m^3n^3 = -6m^6 - mn^5 - 5m^3n^3 + 14m^2n^4 + 8mn^5 + n^6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$8mn^5 - 2m^6 + 5m^2n^4 - m^3n^3 + n^6 - 4m^6 + 9m^2n^4 - mn^5 - 4m^3n^3$

Required

Correctly combine the like terms

We have:

$8mn^5 - 2m^6 + 5m^2n^4 - m^3n^3 + n^6 - 4m^6 + 9m^2n^4 - mn^5 - 4m^3n^3$

Collect like terms (in decreasing degrees of m)

$- 2m^6 - 4m^6 - mn^5- m^3n^3 - 4m^3n^3+ 5m^2n^4 + 9m^2n^4 + 8mn^5 + n^6$

$-6m^6 - mn^5 - 5m^3n^3 + 14m^2n^4 + 8mn^5 + n^6$

So:

$8mn^5 - 2m^6 + 5m^2n^4 - m^3n^3 + n^6 - 4m^6 + 9m^2n^4 - mn^5 - 4m^3n^3 = -6m^6 - mn^5 - 5m^3n^3 + 14m^2n^4 + 8mn^5 + n^6$

In circle V, r = 14ft.

Bad White [126]

For this case we have that by definition, the area of a circle is given by:

$A = \pi * r ^ 2$

Where:

r: It is the radius of the circle

According to the data of the statement we have that the circle has a radius of $14 \ ft$

Substituting in the formula we have:

$A = \pi * (14) ^ 2\\A = \pi * 196\\A = 196 \pi$

So, the area of the circle is $196 \pi$ feet squared

Which method should be used to solve for x? 2.5 x=5.7

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

To solve for x in equation $2.5x=5.7$ we should use Division property of equality.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the given equation $2.5x=5.7$

Division property of equality states when we divide both sides of an equation by same non zero number , then also both sides remain equal

Applying Division property of equality to the given equation

$2.5x=5.7$

Divide both sides by 2.5

$\Rightarrow \frac{2.5x}{2.5}=\frac{5.7}{2.5}$

We get,

$\Rightarrow x=2.28$

Thus, to solve for x in equation $2.5x=5.7$ we should use Division property of equality.

Abby bought two slices of pizza and

Misha Larkins [42]

The solution is price of 1 slice of pizza is $ 1.75 and price of 1 bottle of water is $ 1.25

Solution:

Let "p" be the price of 1 slice of pizza

Let "b" be the price of 1 bottle of water

Given that Abby bought two slices of pizza and three bottles of water for $7.25

So we can frame a equation as:

two slices of pizza x price of 1 slice of pizza + three bottles of water x price of 1 bottle of water = $ 7.25

$2 \times p + 3 \times b = 7.25$

2p + 3b = 7.25 ------- eqn 1

Cameron bought four slices of pizza and one bottle of water for $8.25

So we can frame a equation as:

four slices of pizza x price of 1 slice of pizza + one bottles of water x price of 1 bottle of water = $ 8.25

$4 \times p + 1 \times b = 8.25$

4p + 1b = 8.25 ----- eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2 to find values of "p" and "b"

Multiply eqn 1 by 2

4p + 6b = 14.5 ----- eqn 3

Subtract eqn 2 from eqn 3

4p + 6b = 14.5

4p + 1b = 8.25

( - ) ------------------

5b = 6.25

Substitute b = 1.25 in eqn 1

2p + 3b = 7.25

2p + 3(1.25) = 7.25

2p + 3.75 = 7.25

2p = 3.5

Thus the solution is:

price of 1 slice of pizza = $ 1.75

price of 1 bottle of water = $ 1.25
