Answer:

$\frac{3}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction of all the cookies is equivalent to 1.

If $\frac{1}{4}$ of the cookies are chocolate chip, then the remaining cookies is equivalent to

$1-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}$ .

The fraction of all the cookies that are peanut butter is

$=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{3}{4}$

$=\frac{3}{8}$

Peanut butter are ³/₈ of all the cookies

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Order of Operations in Mathematics follow this following rule :

Parentheses

Exponents

Multiplication and Division

Addition and Subtraction

This rule is known as the PEMDAS method.

In working on a mathematical problem, we first calculate operation that is in parentheses, follow by exponentiation, then multiplication or division, and finally addition or subtraction.

Let us tackle the problem!

Let :

<em>Total Number of Cookies = X</em>

<u>Given:</u>

<em>¹/₄ of the cookies are chocolate chip</em>

$\texttt{Chocolate Chip Cookies} = \frac{1}{4} \times \texttt{Total Number of Cookies}$

$\texttt{Chocolate Chip Cookies} = \frac{1}{4} \times X$

$\texttt{Chocolate Chip Cookies} = \boxed {\frac{1}{4} X}$

<em>Let's find the fraction for other cookies</em>

$\texttt{Other Cookies} = \texttt{Total Number of Cookies} - \texttt{Chocolate Chip Cookies}$

$\texttt{Other Cookies} = X - \frac{1}{4} X$

$\texttt{Other Cookies} = \frac{4}{4}X - \frac{1}{4} X$

$\texttt{Other Cookies} = \frac{4 - 1}{4}X$

$\texttt{Other Cookies} = \boxed {\frac{3}{4}X}$

<em>¹/₂ of the rest are peanut butter</em>

$\texttt{Peanut Butter Cookies} = \frac{1}{2} \times \texttt{Other Cookies}$

$\texttt{Peanut Butter Cookies} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{4}X$

$\texttt{Peanut Butter Cookies} = \frac{1 \times 3}{2 \times 4}X$

$\texttt{Peanut Butter Cookies} = \boxed {\frac{3}{8}X}$

The slope of the line below is -1. write the point-slope equation of the line using the coordinates of the labeled point.

omeli [17]

Answer:

y+9=-1(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point Slope Form is:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

When:

'm' is the slope.

$(x_1,y_1)$ is the coordinate.

We are given the slope of -1 and the coordinate of (4,-9).

So:

$m=-1\\x_1=4\\y_1=-9$

Using the information and replacing the values we get:

$y+9=-1(x-4)$

So, the line equation in point slope form should be: y+9=-1(x-4)

The perimeter of the triangle shown is 412 meters. Find the length of each side.

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

x meters= 35

5x meters= 175

6x - 8 = 202

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 5x + (6x - 8)= 412

12x - 8= 412

12x = 412 + 8

12x = 420

x= 35

5x = 35× 5

= 175

6x - 8= 6(35) - 8

= 210 - 8

= 202

What is 6 +0.2 + 0.09 written in standard form? A 0.629 B 6.029 C 6.209 D 6.29<br>

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The answer is D</u>. 6 is the whole number with no decimal after it so it goes before the decimal. Then we add the numbers after the decimal. 0.2 is the same as 0.20 so we add 0.20 plus 0.09 which gets us 0.29. Lastly, we add this all together and get a total of 6.29. Hope this helps!

Javier shared his post with 4 friends, who each shared it with 4 more friends. They continued sharing at the same rate

Fittoniya [83]

First, 4 people know the post

Then, those 4 people share it each with 4 people (4 * 4 = 16)

Then, each of those people share it with another 4 people (16 * 4 = 64)

And so on. the function is as simple as: 4^x (4 to the power of x)
