Answer:

Step  1  :

                 2

Simplify   —

                 3

Equation  :

  2                

 (— • (y + 57)) -  178  = 0  

  3                

Equation   :

 2 • (y + 57)    

 ———————————— -  178  = 0  

      3          

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

   Subtracting a whole from a fraction  

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  3  as the denominator :

          178     178 • 3

   178 =  ———  =  ———————

           1         3    

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole  

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator

      Adding up the two equivalent fractions  

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

2 • (y+57) - (178 • 3)     2y - 420

——————————————————————  =  ————————

          3                   3      

 Pull out like factors :

  2y - 420  =   2 • (y - 210)  

Equation at the end of step  4  :

 2 • (y - 210)

 —————————————  = 0  

       3      

Step  5  :

When a fraction equals zero :

   When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 2•(y-210)

 ————————— • 3 = 0 • 3

     3    

Now, on the left hand side, the  3  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  2  •  (y-210)  = 0

Equations which are never true :

   2   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

    Solve  :    y-210 = 0  

Add  210  to both sides of the equation :  

                     y = 210  

One solution was found :

                  y = 210

Beverage A and Beverage B are sold in identical cans. Beverage A is 4% sugar. The portion of Beverage B that is sugar is 0.21. H
V125BC [204]

Answer:

5.25 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Beverage A and Beverage B are sold in identical cans.

From the above question

Beverage A is 4% sugar.

The portion of Beverage B that is sugar is 0.21.

Converting Portion of sugar in Beverage B to percentage we have :

0.21 × 100

= 21%

How many times more sugar is in Beverage B than Beverage A?

This is calculated as:

% Beverage B/% Beverage A

= 21%/4%

= 5.25

Hence Beverage B has 5.25 times more sugar than Beverage A.

Cory's average score after 8 tests is 91%. If he gets a 78% on his 9th test what will his new average be?
Luda [366]
You should be able to multiply 91 by 8 to get the sum of the first 8 tests, then add the score on the 9th test. Then to get the average of the sum of the 9 tests you need to divide it by 9.
((91*8)+78)/9=89.555555555555.... So, 90%

Hallie made 12 quarts of homemade yogurt. She put the yogurt in 34-cup containers. How many containers did Hallie fill?
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

1 container and 14 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 1 quart = 4 cups

therefore, 12 quart = 48 cups

each container has 34 cups

so one container would be full and remaining 48-34 =14 cups can be filled in another container.
