Answer:
23 marbles
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of children = 10
Number of marbles = 180
Since Betsy gets the most and no 2 children gets the same number of marbles
The least number of marbles Betsy could get will be x ; with the other 9 children receiving 1 less each
That is :
Betsy = x
9th child = x - 1
8th child = x - 2,... 1st child = x - 9
Hence,
(x + x - 1 + x - 2 + x - 3 + x - 4 + x - 5 + x - 6 + x - 7 + x - 8 + x - 9) = 180
10x - 45 = 180
10x = 180 + 45
x = 225 / 10
x = 22.5
x = 23
Hence, the least Betsy could get is 23 marbles
Answer:
7x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
7x + 7
5x + 2x = 7x
7x + 7

Answer:
5/48, 5/46, 5/44, 5/42
Step-by-step explanation:
We can choose unit fractions with denominators between 8 and 10, separated by (10-8)/5 = 0.4 units:
1/8.4 = 5/42
1/8.8 = 5/44
1/9.2 = 5/46
1/9.6 = 5/48
__
<em>Check</em>
- 1/8 = 0.125
- 5/42 ≈ 0.119
- 5/44 ≈ 0.114
- 5/46 ≈ 0.109
- 5/48 ≈ 0.104
- 1/10 = 0.100
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
There are an infinite number of such fractions. We are given unit fractions with different denominators, so it works reasonably well to choose denominators between those given. Then the trick is to convert the fraction to a ratio of integers. In this case, multiplying by (5/5) does the trick.

Another approach is to write the fractions with a common denominator, then choose numerators between the ones given. For example, 1/10 = 4/40, and 1/8 = 5/40, so you could write some fractions with numerators between 4 and 5. Possibilities are 4.1/40 = 41/400, 4.3/40 = 43/400, 4.7/40 = 47/400, 4.9/40 = 49/400.
The statements that are correct are A and E. A because the y-intercept for y=5x+12 is 12 and the table of values it is 5. E is correct because the rate of change for the table of values is 24 and y=5x+12, it is 5.
