Answer:
39. r = 13.4
40. m = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
39. Given the equation,
, to solve for r, the following are the correct steps to take to arrive at the solution:
(given)
Add 0.8 to both sides of the equation (addition property of equality)
(this is where the error occurred.)

40. The correct steps to take in solving the equation,
is as follows:
(given)
Multiply both sides by 3 (multiplication property of equality)

(this is where the error occurred. This is what we should have at this line/step)
(dividing both sides by -1)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Jones has 3/4 total fertilizer. He wants to use 1/8 each scoop to use all of the fertilizer.
We need to make these into proportions to understand the amount of each fraction easier. 1/8 = 0.125, and 3/4 = 0.750
To do this the quick way, divide 0.750 by 0.125
0.750/0.125 = 6.
He will have to use the measuring cup 6 times.
Hope this helps!
