A. He eats 1/8 a pound of candy each day.
B. It would take him a total of 8 days to eat a pound of candy.

A. Since he ate 10 ounces in 5 days, you divide 10 by 5 to find he ate 2 ounces per day. Since there are 16 ounces in a pound that would be your denominator (bottom of fraction) and 2 would be the numerator (top of your fraction). You will get 2/16 which if you simplify (divide by 2) you get 1/8.

B. Knowing that there are 16 ounces per pound and he ate 1/8 pound ( 2/16 pound or 2 ounces) a day, you can either look at the simplified denominator to get the answer, or, divide 16 by 2 to get your answer.

I hope this helps!

Which transformations will produce similar, but not congruent figures?
chubhunter [2.5K]
If you rotate, translate, or reflect a figure, the afterimage will be congruent to the original. 
But if you dilate the figure, you are changing the dimensions and the length of its sides. However, angle measures are preserved and therefore that makes the figure and its afterimage similar. 
Therefore C.) produces a similar but not congruent figure because there is the dilation in it.

The results of a survey show that the percent of students in an Algebra II class who want to have their grades scored on a curve
Hoochie [10]
A. The point estimate would be the average of the interval boundaries, which is the average of 48.2 and 56.4. This gives a point estimate of 52.3%.
b. The margin of error is the distance from either interval boundary to the point estimate. 56.4 - 52.3 = 4.1%.
c. Assuming this is solely going to be based on the class' decision, their grades should be scored on a curve. Although the margin of error is high and this seems to not have a significant distance from 50%, there is no "middle ground" in this option. We must either grade on a curve or not, and if we must choose one, we have to use to point estimate that is just slightly above 50%.

9x + 1 + 5x + 12 + 10x - 37 = 360

24x  - 24 = 360

Add 24 to both sides
