Answer:

700 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = Total number of apples in the cart

Percentage of apples sold = 40%

Number of apples sold = Percentage of apples sold * Total number of apples in the cart

= 40% * x

= 0.4 * x

= 0.4x

Number of apples left in the cart = 420

Total number of apples in the cart = Number of apples sold + Number of apples left in the cart

x = 0.4x + 420

x - 0.4x = 420

0.6x = 420

x = 420/0.6

x = 700

x = Total number of apples in the cart = 700

Lawrence started with 700 apples

No, I do not agree with Jada.

Quad A has 3, 6, 6, 9
Quad B is a scale of A with shortest length being 2

A scale is basically a fraction or a ratio. The scale of Quad A to B is 3/2 since Quad A's shortest length is 3.

Using the scale factor of 3/2, we can determine the rest of Quad B's demensions through cross multiplication.

3/2 = 6/4
3/2 = 9/6

Quad B's demensions are 2, 4, 4, 6.

Which expression is equivalent to this
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: B) 2^(5/12)

Explanation:

The cube root is the same as an exponent of 1/3

\sqrt[3]{x} = x^{1/3}

Multiply this exponent 1/3 by the other exponents 5 and 1/4 to get

(1/3)*5*(1/4) = (1/3)*(5/1)*(1/4) = (1*5*1)/(3*1*4) = 5/12

which is the final exponent. The base 2 stays the same the entire time.
