Answer:

110 pounds of peaches should be ordered

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the number of pounds of peaches to order.

Let the number of peaches to ordered be x peaches

Now, since 9% is expected to be bad, then the percentage expected to be good will be 91%

Thus;

91% of x = 100

91/100 * x = 100

91x = 100 * 100

x = 10000/91

x = 109.89

Since we cannot have fractional peaches, then x must be 110

Jacob is dividing 6 aquariums into of an aquarium sections for his different animals. How many 's are there in Jacob's 6 aquariu
anastassius [24]

Answer:

Jacob is dividing 6 aquariums into 1/8 of an aquarium sections for his different animals. How many 1/8's are there in Jacobs aquariums?

To get the number of 1/8 in Jacobs aquariums,we simply divide 6 by 1/8

6 ÷ 1/8

But whenever you are dividing by a fraction, you can simply change the division to multiplication in order to make your work easier, all you need to do to change the division to multiplication is to simply turn the number over, that is; the denominator becomes the numerator and the numerator becomes the denominator,

In this case 8 becomes the numerator and 1 becomes the denominator

Hence;

6 ×  8 /1   =  6 × 8 = 48

Therefore, the number of 1/8's in Jacobs aquariums are 48

Hope this helps, have a great day/night, and stay safe!

3(x+1)+ 5=2x- 2 <br>i need help with this equation​
aev [14]

Answer:

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+1) +5 = 2x -2

<em>Distribute the 3 to the x+1</em>

3x+3 +5 = 2x -2

<em>Combine like terms</em>

3x + 8 = 2x -2

<em>Subtract 2x from both sides</em>

x + 8 = -2

<em>Subtract 8 from both sides</em>

x = -10

Hope this helps!

Is this statement true?
Svetradugi [14.3K]
Log^7(12)=log^7(2*2*3)=log^7(3)+log^7(2)+log^7(2)
so log^7(12)-log^7(3)=log^7(3)+log^7(2)+log^7(2)-log^7(3)
=log^7(2)+log^7(2)
true
