There are 8 fluid ounces in 1 cup. You can solve this problem using these proportions:

$\frac{8}{1} = \frac{144}{x}$

It states that there are 8 fluid ounces in every 1 cup and 144 fluid ounces in every <em>x </em>cups. We have to solve for <em>x </em>using cross-multiplication:

$8x = 144 \\ x=18$

Vickie can fill 18 1 cup candle molds with 144 fluid ounces of scented candle wax.

What is the slope of the line that goes through -3,7 & -17,3

Natalka [10]

Point 1: (-3, 7)

Point 2: (-17, 3)

To find the slope, we need to use the slope formula which is as follows: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). We will plug in each x and y coordinate from our points above, respectively.

m = (3 - 7) / (-17 - - 3)

m = (-4) / (-14)

m = 2/7

The slope of the line that goes through (-3, 7) and (-17, 3) is 2/7.

Hope this helps!! :)

Stephen & Richard share a lottery win of £2950 in the ratio 2 : 3. Stephen then shares his part between himself, his wife &a

horsena [70]

Answer:

Stephen's wife got £354 more than his son.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount of Lottery = £2950

Now Given:

Stephen & Richard share a lottery amount in the ratio 2 : 3

Let the common factor between them be 'x'.

So we can say that;

$2x+3x=2950\\\\5x = 2950$

Dividing both side by 5 we get;

$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{2950}{5}\\\\x = 590$

So we can say that;

Stephen share would be = $2x =2\times 590 = \£1180$

Now Given:

Stephen then shares his part between himself, his wife & their son in the ratio 3 : 5 : 2.

Let the common factor between them be 'y'.

So we can say that;

$3y+5y+2y=1180\\\\10y=1180$

Dividing both side by 10 we get;

$\frac{10y}{10}=\frac{1180}{10}\\\\y=118$

So Stephen's wife share = $5y = 5\times 118= \£590$

And Stephen's son share = $2y=2\times118 =\£236$

Now we need to find how much more her wife got then her son.

To find how much more her wife got than her son we will subtract Stephen's son share from Stephen's wife share.

framing in equation form we get;

Amount more her wife got than her son = $590-236 = \£354$

Hence Stephen's wife got £354 more than his son.

A department store sells t-shirts for $16.00. Every month that a t-shirt doesn’t sell, the store reduces the selling price by 25

algol13

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 25% of 16 = $=\frac{25}{100}*8=\frac{1}{4}*8=2$

Selling price after reduction = 16 - 2 = $14

B= 25% of 14

$=\frac{25}{100}*14=\frac{1}{4}*14=\frac{7}{2}$

= 3.5

Selling price = 14 - 3.5 = $10.5

C = 25% of 10.5

$=\frac{25}{100}*10.5=\frac{10.5}{4}$

= 2.625 = $ 2.63

Selling price = 10.5 - 2.63 = $ 7.87
