Well, since it is multiple choice, you can just eliminate the answers. If you take 5/4 it equals 1.25. Then you go through the choices. All of the numbers, except 7.2 (C) are infinite. And, 7.2 gives you the 1.25 from before... which is your answer
If this helped, brainliest would be great! Only need one more to level up :)
C is the answer because it is
You have to start by using the distributive property. So you take the number next to the parentheses which is “8” and you multiply it with “2x”. This gives you “16x”. Then you multiply “8” with “3” and that gives you “24”. You now have the equation “16x + 24 = 48”.
The next step is to subtract “24” with “48”. This leaves you with “24”. Then you now have “16x = 24” as your new equation. The last step is to divide “16x” with “16”, this cancels it out with itself. Then you divide “24” with “16” and you get 1.5. So “X” equals 1.5 or you can convert it into a fraction witch gives you “3/4”.
1250 lbs of sand.
So first let's find the volume of the sand in the sandbox. You have a square sandbox, with a side length of 5, meaning you have a length and width of 5. You also have half a foot of sand in the sandbox, meaning that you have a height of 0.5. To find the volume of the sand, multiply the length by the width by the height:

So you have 12.5 cubic feet of sand. If each cubic foot of sand is 100 lbs, then you just multiply the two:
