Answer:

x=   1 1/4 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a proportion to solve this problem.  Put the cost over the number of ounces.


$4                  $1

----------    = ---------------

5 ounces       x ounces

Using cross products

4x =1*5

Divide each side by 4

x =5/4

x=   1 1/4 ounces

If you do 5 divide by 4 then you can find what 1$ would be worth so ie.
5 divide by 4 is 1.25 which means that for 1$ you could buy 1.25 ounces

Wendy borrowed a 370-page book from the library. She has already read 20 pages. The book is due back to the library in 7 days. W
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

n ≥ 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Total pages = 370

Read pages = 20

Number of days remaining = 7

Reading rate per day = n

7n + 20 ≥ 370

7n ≥ 370 - 20

7n ≥ 350

n ≥ 350/7

n ≥ 50 pages per day for the remaining 7 days

Let A be a set of numbers.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

a. closed under addition and multiplication

b. not closed under addition but closed under multiplication.

c. not closed under addition and multiplication

d. closed under addition and multiplication

e. not closed under addition but closed under multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

Let A be a set of all integers divisible by 5.

Let x,y∈A such that x=5m\,,\,y=5n

Find x+y,xy

x+y=5m+5n=5(m+n)

So, x+y is divisible by 5.

xy=(5m)(5n)=25mn=5(5mn)

So,

xy is divisible by 5.

Therefore, A is closed under addition and multiplication.

b.

Let  A = { 2n +1 | n ∈ Z}

Let x,y∈A such that x=2m+1\,,\,y=2n+1 where m, n ∈ Z.

Find x+y,xy

x+y=2m+1+2n+1=2m+2n+2=2(m+n+1)

So,

x+y ∉ A

xy=(2m+1)(2n+1)=4mn+2m+2n+1=2(2mn+m+n)+1

So,

xy∈ A

Therefore, A is not closed under addition but A is closed under multiplication.

c.

Let A=\{2,5,8,11,14,...\}

Let x=2,y=5 but x+y=2+5=7∉A

Also,

xy=2(5)=10∉A

Therefore, A is not closed under addition and multiplication.

d.

Let A = { 17n: n∈Z}

Let x,y ∈ A such that x=17n,y=17m

Find x + y and xy

x+y=17n+17m=17(n+m)

xy=(17m)(17n)=289mn=17(17mn)

So,

x+y,xy ∈ A

Therefore, A is closed under addition and multiplication.

e.

Let A be the set of nonzero real numbers.

Let x,y ∈ A such that x=-1,y=1

Find x + y

x+y=-1+1=0

So,

x+y ∈ A

Also, if x and y are two nonzero real numbers then xy is also a non-zero real number.

Therefore, A is not closed under addition but A is closed under multiplication.
