Alright so think of it this way. You want the number of hamburger patties to equal the number of rolls with as little packages as possible.
              # of Packages         # per package        total #
Patties               1            x               6              =     6    
Rolls                  1            x               8              =     8

As you see above, the total number of patties and rolls is related to the product of the number of packages and the number per package.
Therefore to answer this problem, just find the least common multiple of 6 and 8:

Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 36...
Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40....

24 is the least common multiple. To get to 24, you multiply 6 by 4 and 8 by 3. Therefore, you need 4 packages of 6 hamburgers, and 3 packages of 8 rolls.

This is confirmed in the table below:
               # of Packages         # per package        total #
Patties               4            x               6              =     24   
Rolls                  3            x               8              =     24

How many servings are in 12 cups of rice a.
Alex777 [14]
     One serving is 3/4 cups of rice. To find out how many serving there are in 12 cups of rice, you divide 12 by 3/4. (When dividing fractions, don't ask why. Flip the second one over and multiply).
   12/(3/4) = 12 *(4/3) = 48/3 = 16
     There are 16 servings of rices in 12 cups.

If f is a linear function, f(k)=16 and f(-k)= -4 then what is the value of f(0)?​
ira [324]

f(0) =  ( f(k) +f(-k) ) / 2

f(0) = (16 - 4) / 2

f(0) = 12 / 2

f(0) = 6  → ANSWER

*Remember that f(0) = m(0) + n = n

If we have f(x) = mx + n, then:

f(k)= mk + n     and       f(-k)= -mk + n

If we add them:

  f(k) + f(-k)

= mk + n -mk + n

= 2n

= 2f(0)

So we conclude that:

f(0) = [f(k) + f(-k)] / 2
