Answer: Incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Gavin and his three friends wants to share \frac{1}{3} of cake equally.

So, there are 4 members to distribute the cake

Each member will get

\Rightarrow \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{3}}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{3\times 4}=\dfrac{1}{12}

So, each member get one-twelvefth of the given cake.

Hence, Gavin is  incorrect.

Answer:

Gavin is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

He divides 1/3 by 3 people. When he should divide by 4 people, including himself. 1/3 / 4 = 1/3 * 1/4= 1/12

Ok this inequality tells you the number of devices you can have before the new plan costs more than the old plan. The new plan expression is $4.50x + $94m =  y ( total cost). The old plan is $175m = y (total cost). You can see m (number of months) in both equations, you don't need it this time since we're going to to compare both to one month. Since they're both equal to y you can make them equal to each other. $4.50x + $94 = $175. Now you want to figure when the new plan is less than the old plan you switch the equal sign for a less than sign. $4.50x + $94 < $175; this will help you find the inequality you want. From there just use algebraic steps to find that x has to less than 18 or

x < 18.

You spend $20 total on tubes of paint and disposable brushes for an art project. Tubes of paint cost $4.00 each and paintbrushes
hram777 [196]
You are buying 2 items so let's use two different variables to represent each:
p = number of tubes of paint
b = number of disposable brushes
cost = price per item × number of items
Equations from information given:
4p + 0.50b = 20 ← from the first 2 sentences
2p = b  ← if there are twice as many brushes as paint tubes you need 2 times paint tubes to equal number of brushes
Solve the problem by using substitution... 1b equals 2p so replace b with that:
4p + 0.50(2p) = 20
4p + 1p = 20   ← 0.50 is half so half of 2p is 1p
5p = 20 ← combine like terms
p = 4   ← divide both sides of the equation by 5
Recall the equation 2p = b replace p with 4
2(4) = b 
8 = b
ANSWER:
You purchased 4 tubes of paint and 8 disposable brushes.

Gerald recorded the gains and losses for each play on the football field. Gains were marked with a + and losses with a –. Play 1
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Play 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\left\begin{array}{ccccc}{Play}&{1}&{2}&{3}&{4}&{Yards}&{+4}&{-6}&{-2}&{+3}\end{array}\right

Required [Missing from the question]:

Determine the play with the least change in yard?

To do this, we ignore the sign in front of each yard before we analyze.

So, we have:

Play 1 has a change of 4

Play 2 has 6

Play 3 has 2

Play 4 has 3

<em>From the above analysis, play has the least (which is 2)</em>

SOLVE FOR M. please :)
STatiana [176]

Answer:

m =  - 28

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{ - 3}{7} m = 12

\frac{ - 7}{3} ( \frac{ - 3}{7})m =  \frac{ - 7}{3}  \times 12

\frac{ - 1}{3} ( - 3)m =  \frac{ - 7}{3}  \times 12

- 1( - 1)m =  \frac{ - 7}{3}  \times 12

1 \times m =  \frac{ - 7}{3}  \times 12

m =  \frac{ - 7}{3}  \times 12

m =  \frac{ - 7}{3}  \times 12

m =  \frac{ - 7}{3} (3 \times 4)

m =  - 28
