Answer:

10,800

-1200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

40 units of maple sap = 1 ounce of maple syrup

Using a 20 - ounce bottle, 2 ounces of air is left

Ounces of actual syrup = (20 - 2) = 18 ounces

Number of maple sap required to fill 15 bottles :

Number of maple saps required to fill 18 ounces bottle :

40 units = 1 ounce

x = 18 ounces

Hence, for 18 ounces of maple syrup :

(40 * 18).= 720 units of maple sap

For 15 bottles of 18 ounces maple syrup:

(720 * 15) = 10,800 units of maple sap

If they had filled each bottle to the top:

(40 * 20 * 15) = 12000 units of maple sap

10,800 - 12000 = - 1200 units of maple sap

Without solving, explain how you can tell whether the solution to 0.5x = 10 is less than 1 or greater than 1 ​
NemiM [27]

Greater than 1 because left side is a fraction less than 1 and right side is a number greater than 1.

The left side being a fraction less than 1 could only mean that you have to multiply a number greater than 1 to the other side. And since the other side is a number greater already than 1 then multiplying the left side to the right side must result in a number greater than 1.
