Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

-\dfrac{1}{2} + p = \dfrac{5}{8}

Add 1/2 to both sides.

-\dfrac{1}{2} + p + \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{5}{8} + \dfrac{1}{2}

p = \dfrac{5}{8} + \dfrac{4}{8}

p = \dfrac{9}{8}

Given : \dfrac{-1}{2} + p = \dfrac{5}{8}

\implies p = \dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{5}{8}

\implies p = \dfrac{4 + 5}{8}

\implies p = \dfrac{9}{8}

The Question Mark should be Replaced with 8

A candle maker has 4 1/2 pounds of clear wax. He wants to cut the wax into pieces that are 2/3 pound each. How many 2/3 pound pi
prisoha [69]

Answer:

a)  10  pieces of  2/3 pound  can be made.

b) 0.54 pounds of wax is left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount of clear wax available =  4\frac{1}{2}  = \frac{9}{2} pounds

So, the maker has in total 4.5 pounds of wax

Now, The weight of each piece = \frac{2}{3}  = 0.66  pounds

To find the number of pieces that can be made out of 4.5 pounds of wax,

let that number = n

So, n = \frac{\textrm{Total weight of the clear wax}}{\textrm{Weight of each wax}}

or, n = n = \frac{4.5}{0.66}  = 6.81

So, nearly 6 pieces can be made completely out of the clear wax

Left over amount of wax  = Total weight -  Weights of the pieces made

                                            =  4.5- 6(0.66)

                                            = 0.54 pounds

Hence, 0.54 pounds of wax is left over

Agustín fabrica artículos de cuero y los vende con un incremento del 8% de su costo. Si en su última campaña utilizó un cuero de
nadezda [96]

Answer:

El aumento del precio de costo único equivalente es un aumento del 20,96% en el precio de costo

Step-by-step explanation:

Los parámetros dados son;

El porcentaje de aumento en el precio de costo que Augustin vende artículos de cuero = 8%

El aumento adicional de Augustin se aplica cuando usó cuero de mayor calidad = 12%

Sea x el precio de costo

Tenemos, el primer precio de venta = 1.08 × x

El precio de venta del cuero de alta calidad = 12% adicional al precio de venta anterior

∴ El precio de venta del cuero de alta calidad = 1,12 × 1,08 × x = 1,2096 × x

Por lo tanto, el precio de venta del cuero de alta calidad = (1.2096 × 100)% de x = 120.96% de x, lo que da;

El aumento del precio de costo único equivalente = (120,96% - 100%) aumento en x = 20,96%

∴ El aumento del precio de costo único equivalente = 20,96% de aumento en el precio de costo.

The point (2, -3), is the top of a triangle. Which point would it map to if the triangle was translated up 7 units and reflected
Elza [17]

Answer: (-2,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

When you go up any number of units, you add it to the y-coordinate. So -3 + 7 = 4. That would make it, (2,4). The next step would be reflecting it across the y-axis. And whenever you reflect across the y-axis, the x-coordinate always changes.
