Answer: 1
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 is equivalent to 2/8
3/8 - 2/8 = 1/8
Since you can only subtract 2/8 (or 1/4) from 3/8 once, one 1/4 can fit into 3/8.
Answer:
58 people are expected to buy something.
Step-by-step explanation:
18% in decimal form is 0.18.
325 * 0.18 = 58.5
Unfortunately, you can't have half of a person, so the answer is 58 people.
She drove 9 miles over the speed limit.
94.50 + 2m = 112.50
Subtract 94.50 from both sides
2m = 18
Divide both sides by 2
m = 9
Let the weights of the two candies be repres. by x and y.
Then x + y = 60, or x = 60 - y
($1.16 / lb) x + ($0.86 / lb) y = ($1.00 / lb) (60 lb) = $60
Then 1.16(60-y) + 0.86y = 60
69.6 - 1.16y + 0.86y = 60 9.6
9.6 = 0.3y Solving for y, y = ------- = 32 lb
0.3
Then x = (60-32) lb = 28 lb
