Answer: 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of students in Jacob's homeroom = 20.

Number of students who bring their lunch to school = 5

Since the rest eat lunch in the cafeteria, the number of those who eats in the cafeteria will be:

= 20 - 5

= 15

Fraction that eats in the cafeteria will be: = 15/20 = 3/4

Audrey uses 5/8 cup of Fruit in each smoothie she makes 6 smoothies to share with her friends how many cups of fruit does she us
olga55 [171]
To find the amount of cups of fruit used you must multiply the number of smoothies (6) by the amount of fruit need for each smoothie (5/8)
6 x 5/8 = 30/8
30/8 can be simplified to 15/4.
This is still an improper fraction, because the numerator is higher than the denominator. To fix this, you divide 15 by 4, which equals 3 3/4 cups

Kevin will take 4 math tests this term. All of the tests are worth the same number of points. After taking the first 3 tests, hi
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Kevin needs 96 points on his last test to raise his mean test score to 90 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The mean score is the total of all scores divided by the total number of tests.

Let

x_1 ----> the score in the first math test

x_2 ----> the score in the second math test

x_3 ----> the score in the third math test

x_4 ----> the score in the fourth math test

we have

After taking the first 3 tests, his mean test score is 88 points

so

\frac{x_1+x_2+x_3}{3} =88

x_1+x_2+x_3=264 ----> equation A

How many points does he need on his last test to raise his mean test score to 90 points?

so

\frac{x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4}{4} =90

x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4=360 ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

264 + x_4 = 360

solve for x_4

x_4 = 360-264

x_4 = 96

Therefore

Kevin needs 96 points on his last test to raise his mean test score to 90 points.

Andre tried to solve the equation 1/4(x+12)=2 what was his mistake?
GarryVolchara [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 1/4(x + 12)=2 - first isolate X'

         - 12 -12

2. 1/4(x) = -10  - 1/4  since its a fraction, you'll have to subtract not divide

-1/4    - 1/4

3. x = -10.25

Andre did the first step correctly, but on the second step he just divided 1.4 by -10, instead of subtract 1/4 from both sides.
