He can make 3 batches of soup.
Starting with 10 pounds of tomatoes and taking out the number of pounds he sets aside for spaghetti sauce, 2.8, we have:
10-2.8 = 7.2 pounds left.
0.2 is read as "two tenths," so 7.2 = 7 2/10
We divide this remaining number of pounds by 2 2/5 for each batch of soup:
7 2/10 ÷ 2 2/5
Convert each to an improper fraction:
72/10 ÷ 12/5
Multiply by the reciprocal:
72/10 × 5/12 = 360/120 = 3
Answer: (C)
<u>Solution:</u>
Jack bought 3 bars for $4.26 thus the cost of each bar can be defined as:

⇒
Here we will use the trial and error method.
- We will try putting different values of x.
<h3 /><h3>1st of all</h3><h3>x=1</h3>





<h2>Now,</h2><h3>x=2</h3>




<h2>Again,</h2><h3>x=3</h3>




<h3>☣Hence, The value of X as 3 satisfies the equation!</h3>
There will be no solutions because the lines have the same slope (-4) meaning they are parallel to each other and will not cross.
Hope this helps!!
I think it means you have to find the area of both shapes and then compare them to see if Liam is correct if he is not correct say why. Hope this helps :)
