Answer:

16 pieces of spearmint gum

Step-by-step explanation:

For every five pieces of peppermint gum, there are 2 pieces of spearmint gum.

First, divide the total number of peppermint gum by 5:

40/5 = 8

Multiply this number by 2 (pieces of spearmint) to get the number of spearmint gum pieces:

8 x 2 = 16

Proof:

Ratio is 40 : 16, dividing this by 8 will reduce the ratio to 5:2

Each student ticket for an art museum costs $12.50. the total cost for student tickets, t, varies directly as the number of tick
Troyanec [42]

An equation that models the proportional relationship between t and s.

t = 12.5s

<h3>What is proportional relationship?</h3>

Relationships between two variables where their ratios are equal are known as proportional relationships. The fact that one variable is always a constant value multiplied by the other in a proportionate connection is another way to conceive of them. This parameter is referred to as the "constant of proportionality."

<h3>According to the given information :</h3>

1) Ticket for an art museum costs $12.50

2) In other words, the price will increase by $12.50 for each ticket purchased (or tickets).

In other words, the total expense is always 12.5 times the quantity of tickets sold.

3) This indicates that we can create this ---> t = 12.5s.

An equation that models the proportional relationship between t and s.

t = 12.5s

-4|x-11|=-16 solve for x in the equation
BigorU [14]

Answer:

x = 7 and 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide both sides by -4...

| x - 11 | = 4

because

| -4 | = 4 and

| 4 | = 4

x - 11 = -4 and x - 11 = 4

solve for x in both equations.

x = 7 and x = 15
