The remainder is 1-5/8-1/4=8/8-5/8-2/8=1/8.
If the quantity of dressing was 24oz, then there would be 15oz of olive oil, 6oz of vinegar and 3oz of mixture, consisting of 1oz each of salt, pepper and sugar.
If the vinegar doubles we have 12oz of vinegar. The quantity of ingredients is 15oz of olive oil, 12oz of vinegar, and 2oz of mixture (no sugar) making 29oz altogether. The proportion of olive oil is therefore 15/29.

A 10-ounce box of cereal cost $3. A 20-ounce box of the same cereal cost $5. A third box of the same cereal costs $8.
kvasek [131]

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.

Solution

write the division as a fraction = 12y^4-4y^3 - 6y^2 + 36y - 22 over y-3 multiplied by r over y-3

r ×(2y^4 - 4y^3- 16y^2 + 36y- 22) over (y-3)^2

2ry^4 - 4ry^3 - 16ry^2 + 36ry - 22r over (y-3)^2

How do you solve 2m-10=44+8m
Damm [24]

Answer:

m = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

2m-10=44+8m

Subtract 2m from each side

2m-2m-10=44+8m-2m

-10 = 44+6m

Subtract 44 from each side

-10-44 = 44-44+6m

-54 = 6m

Divide by 6

-54/6 = 6m/6

-9 = m

Help please! Complete the proof!
Dmitry [639]
Since CM is perpendicular to AB, it follows that ∠1 and <span>∠2 are 90 degrees.  Since they both have 90 degree angles, that must mean they are both right triangles.

And since </span>∠3 = ∠4 and ∠1 = ∠2, then it follows that ∠A = <span>∠B.  (You can show this by showing that they must add up to 180 degrees.)

So since both right triangles have 3 congruent angles to each, then that makes them similar by AAA (angle angle angle).</span>
