Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: write the equation in the form of a proportion

2 1/2 is to 4 as something is to 3

2 1/2 / 4 = x/3

Then, cross multiply 2 1/2 x 3 or

5/2 x 3/1 = 15/2

Next cross multiply 4•X= 4X

Write as 4X = 15/2

Divide both sides by 4.

4X/ 4 = 15/2 /4

x = 15/2÷ 4/1

Divide by changing the sign to multiplication and inverting 4/1 to 1/4 like this:. 15/2. × 1/4= 15/8

Finally, 15/8 simplifies to 1 7/8 cups

SIMPLE MATH PROBLEM PLZ ANSWER<br><br> u can pick more than one..
7nadin3 [17]

its the first one 6k - 5

if u were to distribute u need to remember that 6 is negative so it changes -k to a positive 6k and then you would time 4 by -6 which would be -24 but u would just write it like 19 + 6k - 24. then u would add 19 to both sides by 19 which would be like adding 19 to -24 which would equal to -5 so it would equal to 6k - 5.

hope I explained the steps well enough for you.

The teachers’ editions of a statistics textbook sell for $150 each, and students’ editions of the book sell for $50 each. Which
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

(300 + 50x)/(2 + x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of teachers' edition books be t

Let the cost of students' edition books be s

So t = 150; s = 50

Then the total cost of 2 teachers' editions and x students' editions is 2t + sx = 2 × 150 + 50x = 300 + 50x.

The total number of books is 2 + x.

So the average cost per book is (300 + 50x)/(2 + x)
