Answer:
<u>37/8</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
we are going to create 5 1/2 into an improper fraction for now, so it is easier to manipulate.
5 1/2 = 11/10
in order to find the answer, we need to set them both to a common denominator(we need to make sure they have the same denominator so it is easier to subtract)
11/2 if we just take 1 of the cups that Abby made and subtract that by 7/8 that give us the answer
11/2 - 1 = 9/2
we will now us the cup we subtracted from that and "give it to the kids"
1 = 8/8
so
8/8 - 7/8 = 1/8
so we have 1/8 leftover from that cup, so we can add that back
since 1/8 is a hard number to just add off the top of your head, we can just change the denominator of 9/2 into 8 instead of 2:
9/2 = 36/8
so
1/8 + 36/8 = 37/8
so since 37/8 cannot be simplified anymore, the answer is
<u>37/8</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Using functions, the input is x, the output is y.
<u>Break down the problem:</u>
The output (y) is (equals) one-fourth (1/4) of the input (x)
y equals 1/4 of x
Answer:
-2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply each side by u +1 to get it out of the denominator
-3(u + 1) = -1
now use distributive property
-3u - 3 = -1
add the 3 to move it over
-3u = 2
now divide by -3
u = -2/3
Since all sides of a cube are equal...,
Let one side length of a cube be (z)
;Volume = z × z × z
;Volume = z^3
; 27 = z^3....where we then say that..,
; z(side length) = cube root of (27)
; Hence..., Side Length = 3 yards
Cremini:
$11.25 for 2/3 lb
2/3 lb = $11.25
1 lb = 11.25 ÷ 2/3 = $16.88 (nearest cent)
Chanterelle:
$7.99 for 1/2 lb
1/2 lb = $7.99
1 lb = $7.99 x 2 = $15.98
Answer: Chanterelle costs less. It costs $0.90 less than Cremini.
