If my math is correct this should be a simple equation. First you’d start off by figuring out how much money chicken costs per one pound.
53.28 / 4.5 = $11.84 per pound
Now take how much money the chicken costs per pound and divide it by how much Benjamin spent.
59.20 / 11.84 = 5 pounds
Your answer should be exactly 5 pounds
I apologize if this is incorrect math, but the equation seems simple at first glance.

the gasoline gauge on a van initially read 1/8 full. When 15 gallons were added to the tank the gauge read 3/4 full. How many mo

So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 full to 3/4 full.

Let's change 3/4 to the equivalent fraction 6/8 so that the denominators are the same. (3/4 = 6/8)

So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 to 6/8 Those 15 gallons must be 5/8 of the tank's capacity 6/8 - 1/8 = 5/8

So 15 is 5/8 of what number? (This will tell us the capacity of the whole tank)

15 = 5/8n
Divide both sides by 5/8 (remembering to multiply by the reciprocal 8/5)
15 ÷ 5/8 = 15 x 8/5 = 18

So the tank holds 24 gallons and (since it is 3/4 full or has 18 gallons) it needs 6 gallons to fill the tank.

Check - at first 1/8 full (1/8 of 24 = 3) So we started with 3 gallons. 15 gallons added to the 3 gallons is 18 gallons. Now the tank is 6/8 (3/4 full). The remaining 1/4 (2/8) of a tank is the difference between 18 and it's capacity (24 gallons) so it will need 6 gallons to fill it up..

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

add 9 to both sides.
then divide by 1.5

so p > 8

number your number line: 2,4,6,8,10

draw a circle at 8 and the line to the right since p>8
