We want to multiply the monomial 
by the monomial 
.
Remember that to multiply monomials we need to use the laws of exponents; in this case, the law for multiplying powers with the same base. The rule says that, when you multiply powers of the same base, you just need to add the exponents: 
, 
. Also, is worth pointing out that the exponent of a variable with no exponent is 1: 
.
Remember that we also need to multiply their coefficients , which are the numbers that multiply the variables; again, variables with no numbers have a coefficient of 1, so 
. Multiply coefficients is easy, you just need to multiply them as you usually do with everyday numbers.
Let's apply all of that to our multiplication:
We can conclude that 2x times x squared is 2x cubed.
There are 16 ounces in a pound. So in 4 1/8 pounds, there would be 66 ounces.
To easier digest this question, we can multiply the 120 servings by 4 ounces to make it into a common unit of measurement. This way, we can compare ounces with ounces instead of ounces to servings.
We then have 480 servings, and the poor caterer only has 60 ounces. We can put that into a fraction, 60/480. From here, things get slightly easier. All we have to do is make it into a fraction we can digest, which would be 1/8. We can turn that fraction into a decimal by simply dividing. We have 0.125.
Since we are changing from a decimal into a percent, we have to move the decimal point two places to the right. We have out final answer of 12.5%.
Positive because when I looked at the graph, the scattered plots are increasing up.

you do 8 times 2 is 16
34-16 is 18 then divide by 2 is 9
9 times 8 is 72
