The <em><u>correct answers</u></em> are:

7 mugs on each shelf; and 7 shelves for blue and 8 shelves for red.

Explanation:

To find the number of mugs that will fit on each shelf, we find the GCF (greatest common factor) of 49 and 56.  To do this, we find the prime factorization of each:

49 = 7(7)

56 = 7(8)

8 = 2(4)

4 = 2(2)

56 = 2(2)(2)(7)

The only common factor is 7, so this is the GCF.  This means that she needs to put 7 mugs on each shelf.

Since there are 49 blue mugs, she needs 49/7 = 7 shelves for them.

Since there are 56 red mugs, she needs 56/7 = 8 shelves for them.

In Mr. Cannon's class, 44% scored an 80 or above on the semester exam. Which of the following is NOT equivalent to 44% Question
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

11/20

Step-by-step explanation:

22/50 is equivalent because if you multiply 50 by 2 to get 100, then multiply 22 by 2, you get 44 out of 100 (44). For 11/20 if you multiply 20 by 5 to get 100, then multiply 11 by 5, you get 55 out of 100 (55). Do the same thing for all the other ones. I hope this helps! Please mark me brainliest thanks!

Answer:

Jake is 9, and Jake's dad is 43.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, let's start off by putting a variable for Jack's age, A.

We know that Jack's father is 2 less than 5 times, so we can write his as 5x -2.

Now let's make an equation:

52 = x + 5x - 2

We need to isolate the x-values so we need to add 2 on both sides:

54= x + 5x

No we need to add the like terms:

54 = 6x

Finally, we just divide by 6 on each side.

Now we know X = 9 but we're not done yet :)

So because Jake's dad is almost 5 times as much, we first multiply Jack's age by 5. We get 45 but we need to subtract 2 which leaves us with 43.
