The answer is 2 plates and .50 glaze left over.

How did I get this?

First lets calculate how many bowls can we glaze. 
5 bowls * 7/8 of a pint = 4.375 pints
4.375 = how many glaze we will need to make 5 bowls.

6 pints - 4.375pints = 1.625 pints left over after we glaze the bowls. 

Now, we need to figure out how many plates we can make with 1.625 glaze.

P X 9/16 = 1.625
Multiply both sides by 16/9 to isolate the variable.
P = 1.625*16/9 
P = 2.88 plates

So, we can only glaze 2 plates. 

How many glaze is left over?
First, how many glaze did we have left over from the bowls? 1.625 glaze
Then, how many plates did we make? 2 at .5625 each = 1.125 glaze

1.625 - 1.125 = .50 glaze left over.

The answer is 2 plates and .50 glaze left over.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to convert the units, since kilograms and grams aren't the same unit. 1000 grams=1 kilogram. Keep that in mind, and lets move on.

So, that means 3 kilograms=3,000 grams. Let's rewrite our ratio.

500g:3,000g

So now they're the same units, but it isn't simplified. This last parts easy. To simplify a ratio, find the number you can divided both number with. In this situation, that number is 500. 500 divided by 500= 1, and 3,000 divided by 500= 6.

Final Simplified Ratio: 1g:6g

Hope this helped :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can put this into a fraction to get the ratio of the new price over the old price

\frac{128650}{155000}

This will give us the percentage of how much was decreased.

The answer you get is .83

Bring 2 decimal places to the right to get 83 (converting from decimal to percentage)

You get 83 percent to be your answer

Find the dimensions of a rectangular prism whose volume is (x^4 ‒ y ^4) units3.
vovikov84 [41]
Factor x^4-y^4: (x²+y²)(x²-y²)
further factor: (x²+y²)(x+y)(x-y)
so the dimensions are (x²+y²)(length),  (x+y) (width), and (x-y) (height)
