Emmitt’s fix-it shop sells used alarm clocks. Although they usually cost $18, today Emmitt has taken 2/3 off the regular price.

How much is discounted by buying an alarm clock today?

The discounted clock would be 6 dollars. I found this by creating a table with 3/3, 2/3, and 1/3 on one side and the 18 across from 3/3 since it is the regular price. To find 2/3 I think we should find 1/3 first. To find that we simply divide 18 by 3 since we are finding one third of 18. Luckily 3 evenly goes into 18 6 times. Now we aren’t done, that is 1/3 so we double the 1/3 which is 2/3 and we double the 6 which is 12. Now that we know how much those cost, it says 2/3 off. The regular price was 18 and 2/3 was 12 so 18-2/3 is 18-12 which equals 6. The discounted alarm clock is $6.00.

6/8 divide by 8/12<br> A. 9/2<br><br><br> B. 8/9<br><br><br> C. 9/8<br><br><br> D. 9/32
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

C. 9/8

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{6}{8}  \div  \frac{8}{12}

Use KCF which means Keep the first fraction, Change the second fraction by flipping it and change the division sign to a multiplication symbol:

\frac{6}{8}  \times  \frac{12}{8}

multiply the numerator together:

6 × 12 = 72

multiply the denominator together:

8 × 8 = 64

now the fraction is:

\frac{72}{64}

simplify further by dividing both numbers by 8:

72 ÷ 8 = 9

64 ÷ 8 = 8

so the fraction is 9/8

Which of the following is equivalent to 7^2•7^5•2^2/7^3•2^6
kondor19780726 [428]

When you add, you subtract the exponents. When you divide, you subtract the exponents.

When you have multiplication and division in one expression, you do it from left to right.

7^2 times 7^5 = 7^ (2+5) = 7^7

7^7 times 2^2 / 7^3 = 7 ^(7 - 3) times 2^2

7^4 times 2^2 times 2^6 = 7^4 times 2^(2+6) = 7^4 times 2^8

Put it in a calculator.

614656.

That is the answer, but you didn't include the "which of the following", so I guess you'll have to put each value in the calculator to find out!

If the 7^3 times 2^6 is in parenthesis, then the answer is 150.0625.

Which of the binomials below is a factor or this trinomial x-2 +5x+6
lutik1710 [3]
Firstly, for it to be a trinomial the expression would have to be x^2+5x+6 to factor this we would simply have to find 2 numbers that add up to 5 and multiply to 6. 3+2=5 and 3•2=6 so (x+3)(x+2) would be the answer
