Answer: 1/40 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

1 orange weighs 1/5 pound

since if has been cut into 8 slices, then 1 out of those slices is 1/8

Let x = weigh of 1/8 slices.

We can solve this using proportion

1/5 pounds = 1 orange

x = 1/8 orange

Lets cross multiply

x = 1/5 × 1/8

x = 1/40 pound.

Therefore each slice weigh 1/40 pound

Unity makes $56 a week, plus 15 percent of the cost of meals that she serves. Use the equation, y = 0.15x + 56, to predict what
seropon [69]
X represents the cost of meals served in a week. The cost of meals or worth was $435, therefore, x = 435. 0.15 x 435= 65.25
Since she makes $56 along with 15% of meals served (which is $65.25), you add those together to get her final income the week she serves $435 worth of meals, so...
66.25+56=121.25
Unity makes $121.25 in a week that she serves $435 worth of meals.

Algebra 2 will give points and brainly
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 3rd question, we are given the equation x ^ 3 + x ^ 2 + 2x + 24. One of the factors is x + 3. Now, we can use long division to find that the equation we have left is x^2 - 2x - 8. We can just factor this to get (x - 4) (x + 2). In the 3rd question, possible factors for the coefficient are 1, 2, -1, -2. Possible factors for the constant are 1, 7, -1, -7. Now, we can try out all of them. The possible factors are 1, 7, -1, -7, 2, 14, -2, -14.
