Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

4ounces of coffee in cup  1

4 ounces of cream in cup 2

In the first step  pour 4/2=2 ounces of coffee from cup 1 to cup 2, getting:

2 ounces of coffee in cup 1

2 ounces of coffee and 4 ounces of cream in cup 2

In the second step we pour 2/2=1 ounce of coffee and 4/2=2 ounces of cream from cup 2 to cup 1, getting:

2+1=3 ounces of coffee and 0+2=2ounces of cream in cup 1

so the answer is 2/5

How do you multiply
vodomira [7]

You multiply using the multiplication table. Multiplication is one of the four basic operations in arithmetic, along with addition, subtraction, and division. Multiplication can actually be considered repeated addition, and you can solve simple multiplication problems by adding repeatedly. For larger numbers, you'll want to do long multiplication, which breaks the process down into repeated simple multiplication and addition problems. You can also try a shortcut version of long multiplication by splitting the smaller number in the problem into tens and ones, but this works best when the smaller number is between 10 and 19.

1. Sarah and Maya both need notebooks and pencils. The equation that represents Sarah's
STALIN [3.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have y = 13 - 3x and y = 7 - x.

=> 13 - 3x = 7 - x

=> 2x = 6, x = 3.

Then y = 7 - (3), y = 4.

Hence the price of a pencil is $3 and the price of a notebook is $4. (C)
