One 16-oz can of vegetable soup cost $1.78. Two pints of vegetable soup cost $3.17. Which option is the better deal?

1 answer:

8 0

One 16 oz can of veggie soup cost $ 1.78......1.78/16 = 0.11 per oz

1 pint = 16 oz......so 2 pints = (2 * 16) = 32 oz

so 32 oz ( or 2 pints) of veggie soup cost $ 3.17.....3.17/32 = 0.10 per oz

so the better deal (the cheapest one) is the 2 pints for $ 3.17

Answer:

2 cups of clay

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

we are given that 6 cups of water for every 12 cups of clay

i.e

12 cups of clay require 6 cups of water

4 cups of clay will require x cups of water

cross multiply

12x= 4*6

12x= 24

divide both sides by 12

x= 24/12

x= 2cups

Hence 4 cups of water will require 2 cups of clay

. Here is an equation 2x + 9 = -15. Write three different equations that have the same solution as 2x + 9 = -15. Show or explain

Anettt [7]

Answer:

1. $x-3=-15$
2. $2x=-24$
3. $2x-3=-27$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

$2x+9=-15$

To find three equations that have the same solution as the given equation we have to first solve the equation.

$2x+9=-15$
$9-9=0$
$-15-9=-24$
$2x=-24$
$2x\div2=x$
$-24\div2=-12$
$x=-12$

Equation one:
$x-3=-15$
$-3+3=0$
$-15+3=-12$
$x=-12$

Equation two:
 $2x=-24$
$2x\div2=x$
$-24\div2=-12$
$x=-12$

Equation three:
$2x-3=-27$
$-3+3=0$
$-27+3=-24$
$-24\div2=-12$
$x=-12$

Hope this helps.
