No, a teaspoon is too small to measure the capacity of a milk carton. You would use a quart to measure the capacity of a gallon.

Hope this helps :)

Many containers and cartons are measured in millimeters; a teaspoon is traditionally 5 mL. So as a unit to measure capacity: Yes, they would be good.

However in a 2 liter bottle (common size) there are 2000/5 = 400 teaspoons.
While this is easy enough to write on a label- indeed, soft cans are often 355 mL, so there is no real difference bar of that unit- it is extremely difficult to measure out 400 teaspoons accuralty. As a way to fill that capacity (i.e. "measure it out"): No they are terrible. <span />

You put the x=6
6³-4(6)²-12(6)+15=15

A racquetball club charges $10 for a one-month trial membership. After the trail month, the regular membership fee is $12 per mo

Membership is discounted $2 for first month
c=cost of one month
d=discount=$2
x=# of months
xc - 2= total cost
x for 1 month is 1, c is always 12, -2 is constant
1 x(12) - 2=10 for first month
8 months
8c -2=total cost for 8 months
8 x 12 - 2= 94 for 8 months

The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 114. what is the smallest of the three numbers?

saul85 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's let n be any number.

If we multiply n by 2, we get 2n. Since anything multiplied by 2 is even, 2n <em>must</em> be even. Therefore, let 2n be our first number.

So, the consecutive even number will be (2n+2) followed by (2n+4).

We know that their sum must be 114. Therefore, we can write the following equation:

$(2n)+(2n+2)+(2n+4)=114$
