1 5/8 = 13/8
(13/8)/14 = .116 or 13/112
.116 (26) = 3.016 or 169/56

Answer:

  3 1/56 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, you're to assume that the amount of food is supposed to be proportional to weight. If x is the amount of food for the 26-pound dog, then ...

  cups/weight = (1 5/8)/14 = x/26

Multiplying by 26 we have ...

  x = (26)(13/8)/14 = 338/112 . . . cups

  x = 3 1/56 cups ≈ 3.02 cups

About 3.02 cups of the same type of food should be fed to a 26-pound dog.

a stock was selling at $120 per share. a month later, it was selling at $150 per share. what is the percent increase?
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find percent increase is 100 * \frac{final-initial}{|initial|}. We're given the initial value as 120 and the final value as 150.

  • 100*\frac{150-120}{|120|}
  • 100*\frac{30}{120}
  • 100*\frac{1}{4}
  • 100/4
  • 25

Therefore, the percent increase is 25%.

Solve for x in the equation x squared + 11 x + StartFraction 121 Over 4 EndFraction = StartFraction 125 Over 4 EndFraction.
telo118 [61]

Answer:

x = -13 or 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 11x + ¹²¹/₄ = ¹²⁵/₄

(x + ¹¹/₂)² = ¹²⁵/₄

x + ¹¹/₂ = ±¹⁵/₂

x = -¹¹/₂ ± ¹⁵/₂

x = -13 or 2

Maria earned $126 in simple interest from her savings account. If she invested $450 for 7 years what was the interest rate?
RSB [31]
The answer is B. You didn't mention compounding, so I have to assume that this is simple interest. The formula for simple interest is 
<span>Interest = principal * interest rate expressed as a decimal * time in years. </span>
<span>$126 = $450 * X * 7. Now multiply $450 * 7 years = $3,150 </span>
<span>$126 = 3,150X </span>

<span>What has been done to the X? It was multiplied by $3,150. What is the opposite of multiplication? It is division. Remember that whatever we do to one side of the equal sign we must also do to the other side of the equal sign. </span>

<span>$126 = $3,150X </span>
<span>-------____---------- </span>
<span>$3,150__$3,150 </span>

<span>Any number over itself = 1. Now we have </span>
<span>.04 = X </span>

<span>To change a decimal to a percent move the decimal place two places to the right and add a percent sign. </span>
<span>.04 = 4$. The answer is B</span>
