Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

12 servings!

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 equals 0.25 gallons, 1/2 gallons is 0.5, so Will will have a mix of 0.75 gallons. If each serving is 1/16 and 1/16 equals 0.0625, divide 0.75 by 0.0625 = 12 servings.

Who can help me?<br>please<br>Thank you

The sum of the interior triangles in a triangle is 180, so if we add all the angle measures together, we should get 180. Therefore, we can make an equation like this,

$110-2x+x+50+5x-40=180$

Simplify this.

$4x+120=180$

$4x=60$

$x=15$

Now we can find each angle measure.

$110-2x$

$110-2(15)$

$110-30$

$80$

$x+50$

$15+50$

$65$

$5x-40$

$5(15)-40$

$75-40$

$35$

So the angle labeled $110-2x$ is the largest angle in the triangle.

What is f–1(8)??<br><br> Please select the best answer

notka56 [123]

Answer:

$f^{-1}(8)=\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x)= $2x+5$

We have to find $f^{-1}(8)$

In order to find $f^{-1}(x)$ we have to make x as the subject of the formula

Let us assume f(x)=y

⇒ $2x+5=y$

Subtracting both sides by 5

$2x+5-5=y-5$

$2x=y-5$

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{y-5}{2}$

⇒ $x=\frac{y-5}{2}$

Now substituting y with x

we have $f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x-5}{2}$

Now $f^{-1}(8)=\frac{8-5}{2}$

= $\frac{3}{2}$

So option (ii) is correct
