8 0

Step-by-step explanation:

8 * [(1/2) * (1/3)]

= [8 * (1/2)] * (1/3)

= 4 * (1/3)

= 4/3.

The answer is B because it is easier to calculate 8 * (1/2), which is dividing 8 by 2 to get 4.

Bob and mark talk about their families. Bob says he has 3 kids, the product of their ages is 72. He gives another clue: the sum

pychu [463]

I can only give possible combination of the ages. Had the sum of the ages been given, then the 3 specific numbers would have been derived.

We need to do prime factorization of 72.

72 ÷ 2 = 36
36 ÷ 2= 18
18 ÷ 2 = 9
9 ÷ 3 = 3
3 ÷ 1 = 1

1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 72

Possible combinations:

1 x 8 x 9 = 72 1 + 8 + 9 = 18
1 x 4 x 18 = 72 1 + 4 + 18 = 23
2 x 4 x 9 = 72 2 + 4 + 9 = 15
3 x 4 x 6 = 72 3 + 4 + 6 = 13

sarah used 3/4 pound of blueberries to make 1/2 cup of jam. how many pounds of blueberries would she need to make a cup of jam?

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer: She needed $1\frac{1}{2}\text{ pounds of blueberries}$ to make a cup of jam .

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Sarah used $\frac{3}{4}$ pound of blueberries to make $\frac{1}{2}$ cup of jam.

As we need to find the number of pounds of blueberries she would need to make a cup of jam.

So, we will use "Unitary Method":

$\text{For }\frac{1}{2}\text{ cup of jam},\\\\\text{ she need }\frac{3}{4}\text{ pound of blueberries }\\\\\text{ For 1 cup of jam}.\\\\\text{She need }=\frac{3}{4}\times 2=\frac{3}{2}=1\frac{1}{2}\text{ pounds of blueberries }$
