Answer:

a. How many bowls could you glaze?

6 bowls

How many plates could you glaze?

10 plates

b. You want to glaze 5 bowls, and then use the rest for plates.

How many plates can you glaze?

2 plates

How much glaze will be left over?

8/9 of glaze would be left

c. How many of each object could you glaze so that there is no glaze left over? Explain how you found your answer.

4 4/23 bowls and 4 4/23 plates

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question

Number of pints of glaze = 6 pints

Number of pints to glaze a bowl= 7/8 of pint

Number of pints to glaze a plate = 9/16 of a pint

a.

How many bowls could you glaze?

7/8 pint = 1 bowl

6 pints = x

Cross Multiply

x = 6 pints/ 7/8

= 6 × 8/7

= 48/7

= 6.8571428571 bowls

We can only glaze whole numbers of a bowl, hence, we can only glaze 6 bowls

How many plates could you glaze?

9/16 pint = 1 bowl

6 pints = y

y = 6 pints/ 9/16

= 6 × 16/9

= 10.666666667 plates

We can only glaze whole number of a plate, hence, we can only glaze 10 plates

b. You want to glaze 5 bowls, and then use the rest for plates.

1 bowl = 7/8 pints

5 bowls = z

Cross Multiply

z = 5 × 7/8pints

= 4 3/8 pints of glaze would be used for bowls

How many plates can you glaze?

The rest is for plates, hence:

The amount of glaze left for plates is calculated as:

6 pints - 4 3/8

1 5/8 pints of glaze would be left over to glaze plates.

So therefore,

9/16 pints = 1 plate

1 5/8 pints =

= 2 8/9

Hence we can only glaze 2 plates

How much glaze will be left over?

2 8/9 pints - 2 pints

= 8/9 pints of glaze.

c. How many of each object could you glaze so that there is no glaze left over?

We have 6 pints of glaze

Number of pints to glaze a bowl= 7/8 of pint

Number of pints to glaze a plate = 9/16 of a pint

Let the number of each objects be represented by x

7/8 × x + 9/16 × x = 6 pints

= 4 4/23 bowls and 4 4/23 plates

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

m = 3/100

Step-by-step explanation:

211m + 16 = 4 + 611m

211m - 611m = 4 - 16

-400m = -12

m = -12/-400

m = 3/100

Choose the graph that represents the following system of inequalities: y ≤ −3x + 1 y ≤ 1 over 2x + 3 In each graph, the area for
Vanyuwa [196]

The graph that represents the inequality has been shown in the attachment.

<h3>How to solve for the graph</h3>

We have these equations

y ≤ −3x + 1

y ≤ x + 3

We remove the inequality sign from both of these equations

y = −3x + 1

y = x + 3

−3x + 1  = x + 3

such that

x = -0.5

we use this value for x in any of the equations

x + 3 = -0.5 + 3

= 2.5

the point of intersection is at 2.5, -0.5

we test for the origin. 0,0

3x + 1

= 3*0 + 1

= 1

for  x + 3

0+3 = 3

This is 0≤1 and 0≤3

Hence the graph should be shaded to the origin.

Determine which equations have the same solution set as 2/3 -x +1/6 = 6x by recognizing properties, rather than solving. Check a
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The answer is "0.1190".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\to \frac{2}{3} -x +\frac{1}{6} = 6x\\\\\to \frac{2}{3} +\frac{1}{6} = 6x+x\\\\\to \frac{4+1}{6}  = 7x\\\\\to \frac{5}{6}  = 7x\\\\\to x=\frac{5}{6\times 7}  \\\\\to x=\frac{5}{42}\\  \\\to x= 0.1190
