Answer:

C. 5 Shirts for $21

Step-by-step explanation:

I conclude this when I calculate the amount of money needed for a singular shirt in every "bundle" by using division.

First I calculated how much you'd have to pay for one shirt in the six-pack collection fo shirts, and I resulted in $4.25 for each shirt. The problem in number form is: 25.50÷6=4.24. By dividing the total with six you result in the singular price of the individual price of each shirt in the pack.

As for the other packs, my calculations resulted in $4.50 for the 4 shirts pack and $4.20 for the 5shirts pack.

Solution:

The rationalisation factor for $\frac{1}{ a - \sqrt{b} }$ is $a + \sqrt{b}$

So, let us apply it here.

$\frac{1}{5 - \sqrt{2} }$

The rationalising factor for 5 - √2 is 5 + √2.

Therefore, multiplying and dividing by 5 + √2, we have

$= \frac{1}{5 - \sqrt{2} } \times \frac{5 + \sqrt{2} }{5 + \sqrt{2} } \\ = \frac{5 + \sqrt{2} }{(5 - \sqrt{2})(5 + \sqrt{2} ) } \\ = \frac{5 + \sqrt{2} }{ {(5)}^{2} - ( \sqrt{2})^{2} } \\ = \frac{5 + \sqrt{2} }{25 - 2} \\ = \frac{5 + \sqrt{2} }{23}$

Answer:

$\frac{5 + \sqrt{2} }{23}$

Hope you could understand.

Laketown had 215 inches of snowfall last year, but only 155 inches this year. What was the percent decrease in snowfall for Lake

skelet666 [1.2K]

Okay, so FIRST you would subtract 215 - 155, which is 60, and THEN divide it by 215, so 60 divided by 215 = 0.27, and rounded that is 0.28, then you move the decimal two places to the right to make it a percentage so your answer would be A., 28%
I hope I helped! =D

Jada solved the equation Negative StartFraction 4 over 9 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 108 EndFraction for x using the step

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Jada should have multiplied both sides of the equation by 108.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. Find the complete question in the comment section.

Given the equation -4/9 = x/108, in order to determine Jada's error, we need to solve in our own way as shown:

Step 1: Multiply both sides of the equation by -9/4 as shown:

-4/9 × -9/4 = x/108 × -9/4

-36/-36 = -9x/432

1 = -9x/432

1 = -x/48

Cross multiplying

48 = -x

x = -48

It can also be solved like this:

Given -4/9 = x/108

Multiply both sides by 108 to have:

-4/9 * 108 = x/108 * 108

-4/9 * 108 = 108x/108

-432/9 = x

x = -48

Jada should have simply follow the second calculation by multiplying both sides of the equation by 108 as shown.
