Answer:

Yes,

Step-by-step explanation:

You take 64 miles for 2 gallons and divide it by 2. And it leads up to 32 miles and 1 gallon. Now you divide that by 2 again and get 16 miles and 1/2 gallon. So, to check that you can take 16+16 and you get 32 and take 32+32 and you get 64.

The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society sponsors a 5k race to raise money. It receives $55 per race entry and $10,000 in donations, bu

The net amount they raise is the amount they receive minus what they pay in expenses.

They receive:
$10,000 fixed amount in donations
$55 per person

They pay:
$15 per person

If there are x number of entries, they receive 55x from the entries.
Also, they pay 15x for the entries.

The net amount they raise is amount they receive min us amount they pay:

55x + 10,000 - 15x

which simplifies to

40x + 10,0000

They want to raise at least $55,000.
At least $55,000 means $55,000 or more.
They want to raise an amount greater than or equal to $55,000.

Now we write the inequality:

40x + 10,000 >= 55,000

Now we solve the inequality for x, the number of entries.

40x >= 45,000

x >= 1125

They must have 1125 or more race entries to raise $55,000.

U equals vw plus z solve for v
padilas [110]
Subtract z from the right side so that it becomes... u - z = vw

Then all you do is divide the right side of the equation(or equals sign) by w because your goal is to get whatever you're solving for by itself.

Your answer, then, is... u-z/w = v

Ashley has 20 pieces of candy in a bag: 2 mint sticks, 4 jelly treats, and 14 fruit tart chews. If she eats one piece every 8 mi
AleksAgata [21]
The probability that her first treat is jelly is 4/20. Since she eats the candy and does not replace it, the probability the second treat is jelly would be 3/19 (1 less jelly and 1 less total candies). You would then multiply (4/20) by (3/19). That is your answer.
