Answer:

He made 40 grams of 20% sugar syrup.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alan threw 8 grams of sugar into 32 grams of water and got 8 + 32 = 40 grams of sugar syrup.

To determine the percent of sugar, note that

40 g - 100%,

8 g - x%,

then

$\dfrac{40}{8}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\\\40x=8\cdot 100,\\ \\40x=800,\\ \\x=20\%.$

Ben jogged 4 and 1/2 miles in 1 and 1/4 hours at a constant rate. How far did Ben jog in one hour? *

Mrac [35]

let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then proceed.

$\stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{9}{2}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{1\frac{1}{4}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 4+1}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{5}{4}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\begin{array}{ccll} miles&hours\\ \cline{1-2} \frac{9}{2}&\frac{5}{4}\\[1em] x&1 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{~~ \frac{9}{2}~~}{x}=\cfrac{~~ \frac{5}{4}~~}{1}\implies \cfrac{~~ \frac{9}{2}~~}{\frac{x}{1}}=\cfrac{5}{4}\implies \cfrac{9}{2}\cdot \cfrac{1}{x}=\cfrac{5}{4} \\\\\\ \cfrac{9}{2x}=\cfrac{5}{4}\implies 36=10x\implies \cfrac{36}{10}=x\implies \cfrac{18}{5}=x\implies 3\frac{3}{5}=x$

Name two points that are reflections of each other across the y-axis.

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

(1,1), (-1,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

To reflect a point over the x-axis, simply make its x-value negative. So, we can take the sample point of (1,1), make its x-value negative, and get (-1,1).
