Answer: \dfrac{19}{40}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Fraction of goal raised on first day = \dfrac{1}{8}

Fraction of goal raised after second day  = \dfrac35

Now , Fraction of goal raised on second day = Fraction of goal raised after second day  - Fraction of goal raised on first day

=\dfrac35-\dfrac18\\\\=\dfrac{24-5}{40}\\\\=\dfrac{19}{40}

Required fraction = \dfrac{19}{40}

Kiyo bought a pizza for $12.75 and four medium drinks at Paola’s pizza. Define a variable and write an expression to represent t
Travka [436]
Y = total amount of money spent
x = cost of one drink

So our expression is:
4x + 12.75

4x stands for 4 drinks times x price of one drink
The 12.75 is a one time fee for the pizza, since Kiyo isn't buying multiple pizzas.

The problem also asks us to find the total price, so we write an equation:

y = 4x + 12.75
We insert what x is which in this case is $3
y = 4(3) + 12.75
Order of Operations tells us to multiply first:
y = 12 + 12.75
Now add your values:
y = 24.75
Therefore, Kiyo spent a total amount of 24.75 at Paola's pizza.

Let's check our problem just in case:

24.75 = 4x + 12.75
Since we now know what y is equal to, we can plug that into our original equation and check just to verify

We should subtract 12. on both sides of the equation because of inverse operations:

24.75 - 12.75  = 12.75 - 12.75 + 4x
We are left with:

12 = 4x
We divide:
\frac{12}{4}  =  \frac{4x}{4}
Our result is:
3 = x
Which checks out because each drink was in fact, $3 dollars as stated in the word problem. Hope that was thorough enough.

Trenton and Maria record how much dry food their pets eat on average each day.• Trenton's pet: 4/5 cup of dry food• Maria's pet:
Phoenix [80]

6.3 many more cups of dry food will Maria's pet have eaten than Trenton's pet will have eaten over 2 seven-day weeks

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We have , Trenton and Maria record how much dry food their pets eat on average each day.• Trenton's pet: 4/5 cup of dry food• Maria's pet: 1.25 cups of dry food. Based on these averages . We need to find  how many more cups of dry food will Maria's pet have eaten than Trenton's pet will have eaten over 2 seven-day weeks . We need to find how much they eat for 14 days as:

Trenton's pet: 4/5 cup of dry food•

With 4/5 per day , for 14 days :

⇒ 14(\frac{4}{5} )

⇒ 14(0.8 )

⇒ 11.2

Maria's pet: 1.25 cups of dry food.

With 1.25 per day , for 14 days :

⇒ 14(1.25 )

⇒ 17.5

Subtracting Maria's - Trenton's :

⇒ 17.5-11.2=6.3

That means , 6.3 many more cups of dry food will Maria's pet have eaten than Trenton's pet will have eaten over 2 seven-day weeks
