2×9= 18

18÷9= 2

Answer: 2 cups of fruit punch.

----------

Explanation: so, you divide. why do I know this? because it doesn't say "times," (multiplication word) "more than," (addition word) "less than/ left over." (subtraction word) so what your looking for is "equally," and "each."

So, can you do 2÷9? no, you cant. so you have to multiply 2×9 to get the answer. and what's the answer? 18!

so, now, can you divide 18÷9? yes!! why? because you can only divide big numbers like 18. and you can't divide small numbers like 2 or 9. do you get what I'm saying?

so, what's 18÷9? 2!!

I hope this helps! :) if you still don't understand it just please let me know :)

Determine the simple interest when:

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

$75.65

Step-by-step explanation:

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 4.25%/100 = 0.0425 per year,

then, solving our equation

I = 890 × 0.0425 × 2 = 75.65

I = $ 75.65

The simple interest accumulated

on a principal of $ 890.00

at a rate of 4.25% per year

for 2 years is $ 75.65.

The equation $a^7xy-a^6y-a^5x=a^4(b^4-1)$ is equivalent to the equation $(a^mx-a^n)(a^py-a^2)=a^4b^4$ for some integers $m$, $n$

Ksivusya [100]

Let simplify the equations $a^7xy-a^6y-a^5x=a^4(b^4-1)$ and $(a^mx-a^n)(a^py-a^2)=a^4b^4$ :

1) $a^7xy-a^6y-a^5x+a^4=a^4b^4$

and

2) $a^{m+p}xy-a^{n+p}y-a^{m+2}x+a^{n+2}=a^4b^4$ .

Equate the coefficients:

 $xy: m+p=7 \\ y: n+p=6 \\ x: m+2=5 \\ 1: n+2=4$ .
Then $n=2 \\ p=4 \\ m=3$ and mnp=24.

A candle burns down at the rate of 0.5 inches per hour. The original height of the candle was 9 inches.

Debora [2.8K]

You can get those ordered pairs subtracting 9-0.5, then that result minus 0.5 because from the rate the candle reduces its height 0.5inches per each hour.Part B: Is this relation a function? Yes, because each value of x has a single result or output in “y” (image)Part C: Yes, only difference is the time, the candle reduces its height 0.45 inches per each hour, examples of ordered pairs: (0,9) (1,8.55) (2,8.1)
