<h3>Answer: A) 1/10</h3>

=============================================

Work Shown:

(4/5) divided by 8

(4/5) divided by (8/1)

(4/5) * (1/8) .... flip the second fraction and multiply

(4*1)/(5*8)

(4*1)/(5*4*2)

1/(5*2) ... the '4's cancel

1/10

--------------

Alternative method:

4/5 = 0.8 when using a calculator or long division

(4/5) divided by 8 = 0.8/8 = 0.1

0.1 = 1/10

The digit 1 in 0.1 is in the tenths place, so that's why 0.1 = 1/10

Or you could use your calculator to see that 1/10 = 0.1

Another idea is to do

0.1 = 0.1/1 = 0.1/1.0 = 1.0/10.0 = 1/10

here I moved the decimal point 2 spots to the right for the numerator and denominator.

As a disclaimer, I can't say I'm completely confident in this answer. Use at own risk.

Formulas:

Year 1: 328,000 (sales) - 117,000 (expense) = 211,000 (profit)

Year 2: 565,000 (sales) - x (expense) = y (profit)

Net Profit: 211,000 + y = 113,000

Math

211,000 (profit y1) + 565,000 (sales y2) = 776,000

776,000 - 113,000 (net profit) = -663,000 (expenses)

Confirm:

Net Profit: 211,000 + y = 113,000 (listed in formulas, just a reminder)

Plug in: 565,000 (y2 sales) - 663,000 (our solution) = -98,000

211,000 (y1 net) + -98,000 (our plug in) = 113,000 (2 year net profit given to us)

Jasmine is part of a bowling league and wants to beat the team record of an average score of 240 out of 300 possible points per

hoa [83]

Answer:

her score in sixth game is 270

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the Jasmine score in her sixth game is shown below:

Let us assume her sixth game score is x

And, the first five games are 252, 227, 210, 239, 242

And, the average score is 240

So, the following formula should be used

(252 + 227 + 210 + 239 + 242 + x) ÷ 6 = 240

252 + 227 + 210 + 239 + 242 + x = 240 × 6

252 + 227 + 210 + 239 + 242 + x = 1,440

x = 270

Hence, her score in sixth game is 270

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, notice that this is a composition of functions. For instance, let's let $f(x)=\sqrt{x}$ and $g(x)=7x^2+4x+1$ . Then, the given equation is essentially $f(g(x))=\sqrt{7x^2+4x+1}$ . Thus, we can use the chain rule.
