You have 6 pints of glaze. It takes 7/8 of a pint to glaze a bowl and 9/16 of a pint to glaze a plate. You want to glaze 5 bowls

, and then use the rest for plates. How many plates can you glaze? How much glaze will be left over?

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.

Solve the system using any method. Show your work.<br> { 3 x + y = 4<br> − 3 x − y = − 8
prisoha [69]

Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

3 x + y = 4 (1)

− 3 x − y = − 8 (2)

Add (1) and (2)

0 + 0 = -4

0 = -4 is a false statement

So, no solution

I do not understand this im lost
mote1985 [20]
In such type of questions, all that you are supposed to do is, use basic mathematics to eliminate any one of the given two variables. Check out the equations if in case you can multiply any of the given ones with a -1 and add the two equations,eliminating one of the variables.

Name the property the equation illustrates (ab)3=a(b3)
Anvisha [2.4K]
The answer to this rests on knowing that there are four properties of multiplication (which your teacher will likely expect you to know...):

These are:
1. commutative
2. associative
3. multiplicative identity
4. distributive

I won't define each of these -- they should be in your notes or textbook. Look them up.

In this case, we are multiplying three terms together -- on the left hand side the parentheses mean to multiply a and b first, then multiply that by 3. On the right hand side, we multiply b times 3 first, and then multiply the product by a.

This would be an example of the associative property of multiplication: when three or more factors are multiplied together, the product is the same regardless of how the factors are grouped.

Hope this helps!

Good luck
