One jug would be full and the other jug would half to be 1/4
let's make p stand for popcorn and d for drinks. Using those variables, we can create our equations:
2p + 3d = 18.25
4p + 2d = 27.50
From this, we can use substitution or elimination to solve:
For substitution, in the second equations, we could factor out a 2, divide both sides by 2, and then move the left over 2p to the other side to isolate d to put into the first equation.
For elimination, we can multiply the first equation by -2 so that we can remove the 4p and focus on solving for d.
I'll be using elimination in this case:
-2(2p + 3d = 18.25) --> -4p - 6d = -36.50
-4p - 6d = -36.50
4p + 2d = 27.50
-4d = -9.00
d = 2.25
4p + 2 * 2.25 = 27.50
4p + 4.50 = 27.50
4p = 23.00
p = 5.75
Now let's check our answer:
2 * 5.75 + 3 * 2.25 = 18.25
11.50 + 6.75 = 18.25
18.25 = 18.25
So drinks cost $2.25 and popcorn $5.75
Answer:
The second one
Step-by-step explanation:
Square root of 5 is about 2.24
5/2 is 2.5
2.71 is 2.71
2 3/4 is 2.75
2.24, 2.5, 2.71, 2.75
I'm not sure how the number line looks. Do you have a picture of it?
Scientific notation means -- one digit before the decimal point, all the others after it; -- count jow many places you have to move the decimal point to make the number look like that; -- left is positive, right is negative; -- after the digits, write " x 10 to the power of" that number from moving the point. / / / / You're starting with 0.006468 . You want it to be 6.468 . You have yo move the decimal point 3 places to the right ... that makes the power -3 . Finally, in scientific notation, it's 6.468 x 10 to the -3 power.
