Well how long is the ribbon? I'm not asking for the dollar amount, I will answer your question if you can tell me the length of the ribbon. No one can figure it out unless you give the total length.
5.40. It would be 5.38 but you round up to 5.40
The statement is "8 less than the product of 6 and a number, x." "Less than" indicates subtraction - you will subtract 8 from a number. That number is "the product of 6 and a number, x." "The product" of these numbers will result with multiplication - you are multiplying 6 and x.
All this gives you the expression: 6x - 8.
could you further explain?
Answer:
10/4 equals 2 1/2 when simplified.
Step-by-step explanation:
10/4 = 2 2/4 or 2 1/2 when simplified.
This is because, 4 x 2 = 8, and 8 + 2 (or 1/2 of 4) = 10.
Hope this helps! :D
