193.75 miles cause 7.75 * .5 = 3.875 and 3.875* 50 = 193.75
First we would solve both x’s
3x^2 - 5x
But 3 has the thingy thing (forgot the name haha)
Which means you have to multiply it by itself that many times which would be
3x3=9
So now it would be
9x- 5x = 4x
Which leaves 7 and 4x
Now you may subtract those two
7-4x= 3x
You simply have to sum the two fraction together to get the total amount of occupied plot. To do so, multiply both numerator and denominator of each fration by the same number, so that they end up having the same denominator.
You can multiply both numerator and denominator of 1/8 by 3 to get 3/24. Similarly, you can multiply both numerator and denominator of 1/6 by 4 to get 4/24.
Now we can easily sum the two fractions together:

So, if 7 parts out of 24 are occupied, it means that there are
parts left for other crops. So, the answer is 17/24.
You save 5 cents per ounce by using the 40 ounce jar, because if you do $5.20 divided by 40 it equals $0.13 but if you do $2.70 divided by 15 it equals $0.18 which is 5 more cents the the 40 ounce
