Answer: below

Step-by-step explanation: You simply need to divide the total amount of sugar (9 lbs) by the amount that you put into each bag (2/3 lb). This expression looks kind of ugly in this form, so let's instead multiply 9 by the reciprocal of 2/3, which in this case is 3/2. The reciprocal of any number is just 1 divided by the number.

a silkworm winds its cocoon out of one long silk fiber. to make silk thread, 3 to 10 of these silk fibers are unwound from their
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Possible lengths of the silk fibre 'x' are 100, 75, 60, 50 and 30 yards respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the silk fiber = x yards.

Let the number of silk fibres = a.

It is given that the silk fibers between 3 to 10 yards are combined to form a silk thread of 300 yards.

So, we get the equation,

ax=300, where 3\leq a\leq 10

i.e. x=\frac{300}{a}, 3\leq a\leq 10

So, the possible values of 'a' are 3, 4, 5, 6 an 10.

Thus, the possible lengths of the silk fibre 'x' are 100, 75, 60, 50 and 30 yards respectively.

Leokris [45]

Answer:

D) {11,-4,-29}

Step-by-step explanation:

rewrite the equation as y= -5x+1 and plug in -2,1 and 6 to get y

-5*-2+1=11

-5*1+1=-4

-5*6+1=-29

Multiply (x-3)(4x+2) using the distributive property.
asambeis [7]
\text{The distributive property:}\ (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd\\\\(x-3)(4x+2)=(x)(4x)+(x)(2)-(3)(4x)-(3)(2)\\\\=4x^2+2x-12x-6=4x^2-10x-6
