Answer:

12 p - 8 p,  4p ( 3 - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

p = equal the number of ounces of pasta salad in one container

then 12 × p = 12 p in 12 containers

the students finished the pasta salad in 8 containers which equals = 8 p

the number of ounces of pasta left = 12 p - 8 p  

b) using the distributive property for example a ( b + c) = ( a×b) + (a ×c)

12 p - 8 p = 4p ( 3 - 2)

ki77a [65]

Answer: 4/3 hours or 1 1/3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that two mechanics, Martin and Gordon, are working on your car. Martin can complete the work in 4 hours, while Gordon can complete the work in 2 hours.

Since Martin can complete the work in 4 hours, that means in 1 hour, he will do 1/4 of the work.

Since Gordon can complete the work in 2 hours, that means in 1 hour, he'll do 1/2 of the job.

When they both work together, we will add their fraction of work done in one hour together. This will be:

= 1/4 + 1/2

= 3/4

This means that both of them will do 3/4 of the job in one hour. Then to get the time taken to get the whole job done, we divide 1 by 3/4. This will be:

= 1 ÷ 3/4

= 1 × 4/3

= 4/3 hours

= 1 hour 20 minutes.

Give the equation of the line that passes through the points (4,6) and (-2,3)
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

y = 1/2x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = (3-6)/(-2-4)

    = -3/-6

   =1/2

The equation of a line in slope intercept form is

y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y =1/2x+b

Substitute one of the point into the equation

6 = 1/2(4) +b

6 = 2+b

b=4

y = 1/2x+4
