Answer:

At the beginning, there were 2,678.26 grams of sugar in the container.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Lisa used 880g of a container of sugar to bake a cake and 1/10 of the creaming sugar to make cookies, and she then had 3/7 of the container of sugar left, to determine how much sugar was in the container at first, the following calculation must be performed:

880 + 1 / 10X = 3 / 7X

880 + 0.1X = 0.4285X

880 = 0.4285X - 0.1X

880 = 0.3285X

880 / 0.3285 = X

2,678.26 = X

Therefore, at the beginning there were 2,678.26 grams of sugar in the container.

Suppose y varies directly with x. Write a direct variation equation that relates x and y. y=7 1/2 when x=3
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

y/x = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

y ∝ x

change ∝ to = by adding constant k or c

y = kx

Divide both sides by x

y/x = k, also k = y/x

Input the values

k = (7 1/2)/3.  Change 7 1/2 to improper fraction to give 15/2

k = (15/2)/3

k = \frac{15}{2} ÷ 3  

Change the division sign to multiplication which will change 3 to its inverse(1/3)

k = \frac{15}{2} × \frac{1}{3}

k = \frac{15}{6}

Divide the numerator and denominator by 3 to get 5/2

k = 5/2

From y/x = k,input k into the eqn

y/x = 5/2

y/x = 2.5
