The number of ounces of cereal in the third box is 32.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

10 oy box = $3

Price of 1 ounce box = $3/10

                                  = $0.3

20 oy box = $5

Price of 1 oy box = $5/20

                            = $0.25

Therefore, it is beneficial to buy a 20 oy box as it is comparatively cheaper than the 10 oy box.

Third box of cereal = $8

$5 is the price of 20 oy box

$8 will be the price of x oy box

So,

x = \frac{20}{5} X 8\\ \\x = 32

Therefore, the number of ounces of cereal in the third box is 32.

The remote interior angles of a triangle are basically the two angles that do not share a vertex with and are opposite to the exterior angle.

5. ∠1 and ∠2
6. ∠2 and ∠3
7. ∠1 and ∠3

Because the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the remote interior angles we can set up the following equations:
8.
x + 80 = 105 \\ x = 105 - 80 \\ x = 25
9.
x + 72 = 135 \\ x = 135 - 72 \\ x = 63

A recipe calls for 3 times as many chocolate chips as butterscotch chips. If there are 25 oz of chocolate chips, how many oz do
Bingel [31]

The amount, in oz of butterscotch chips needed by proportional reasoning is; 75oz.

<h3>What is the amount of butterscotch chips needed by proportional reasoning?</h3>

It follows from the task content that the the amount of butterscotch chips needed can be determined by means of the proportion premise declared in which case;

  • The recipe requires 3 times as many chocolate chips as butterscotch chips.

Hence, when 25oz of chocolate chips is used, the amount of butterscotch needed is 3 times 25 and hence, = 3 × 25 = 75oz.

Two piecewise functions are shown below. What is the value of
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not sure what your problem here is.

you understand the inequality signs ?

anyway, to get

6×f(-2) + 3×g(1)

we can calculate every part of the expression separately, and then combine all the results into one final result.

f(-2)

we look at the definition.

into what category is -2 falling ? the one with x<-2, or the one with x>=-2 ?

is -2 < -2 ? no.

is -2 >= -2 ? yes, because -2 = -2. therefore, it is also >= -2.

so, we have to use

1/3 x³

for x = -2 that is

1/3 × (-2)³ = 1/3 × -8 = -8/3

g(1)

again, we look at the definition.

into what category is 1 falling ? the one with x > 2 ? or the one with x <= 1 ?

is 1 > 2 ? no.

is 1 <= 1 ? yes, because 1=1. therefore it is also <= 1.

so we have to use

2×|x - 1| + 3

for x = 1 we get

2×0 + 3 = 3

6×f(-2) = 6 × -8/3 = 2× -8 = -16

3×g(1) = 3× 3 = 9

and so in total we get

6×f(-2) + 3×g(1) = -16 + 9 = -7
