Answer:

5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Because we are already given the unit rate in money per pound (money/pound), and we must determine the quantity, we must rearange the equation for rate to solve for the quantity we are looking for. Since in this problem, the rate = change in money / change in pounds. This done by first subtracting the money on the gift card from the money remaining to determine the change in money. Then divide this by the rate of $7.81 (money per pound) to cancel out the money and get the pounds of coffee.

So:

rate (in this case, $7.81 per pound) = change in money / change in pounds →

change in pounds = change in money / rate ($7.81 per pound)

Therefore:

change in pounds = $90 - $50.95 / $7.81 =

$39.05 / $7.81 = 5

Answer:

Im not sure but im going to try

Step-by-step explanation:

First you subtract $7.81 from $90 until you get to $50.95 and then you count how many times you subtract and your answer is 5 pounds of coffee.

Flor and Mo both donated money to the same charity. Flor gave three times as much as Mo. Between the two of them, they donated $
BlackZzzverrR [31]
To answer this question, you would divide the total by 3 to find the money that Mo gave. so 280/3= $93.33. I would check my math, just to be safe, however, I hope this helps you out.

What's something that could go wrong if you use numbers that are not precise?​
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

There are a lot of things that can go wrong, especially when we have an error in a measure that we use a lot of times (each time, that error increases).

For example, you think that each meter of fence costs $5, but the actual price is $5.30, and you need 40 meters, then you think that you may need to pay:

40*$5 = $200

But they will actually charge you:

40*$5.30 = $212.

Now this is a small example, now let's go to medicine, suppose that you want to trait cancer with radiation in a pacient, if you do not use precise measures for the dosage of radiation or the measures of the tumor, you may cause a lot of damage in the patient. (And similar cases if you want to give some medication and the numbers that you use are not precise, you may overdose the patient)

So the use of precise numbers may be critical in a lot of scenarios.

Which values of x and y satisfy 2x − y = 7 and 3x − 2y = 5 simultaneously?
photoshop1234 [79]
To solve problems like this you can either graph or solve mathematically. To do the ladder we need to solve for one variable at a time. So lets cancel one variable out.
Multiply equation 1 by 2
This will give 4x-2y=14
Now we can get rid of y by subtracting 2 from 1
This will give x=9
Plug back in to either equation, i will use equation 2
3(9)-2y=5 simplify
-2y=-22 solve
Y=11
