Answer:

2 medium bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Using estimates of 8, 12, and 20 for the number of cups in each bag size, you can see that the number of each size needed is ...

floor(30/8) = 3 . . . small bags

floor(30/12) = 2 . . . medium bags

floor(30/20) = 1 . . . large bag

3 small bags will contain 3(8 1/4) = 24 3/4 cups.

2 medium bags will contain 2(12 3/4) = 24 3/2 = 25 1/4 cups

1 large bag will contain 20 7/8 cups.

The closest Natalie can get without exceeding the container size is with purchase of 2 medium bags.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The best solution would be to purchase 1 small and 1 large bag, for a total of ...

8 1/4 +20 7/8 = 28 9/8 = 29 1/8 . . . cups

However, that purchase is not multiple bags of the same size.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponents are representations of repeated multiplication.

For example: 5³ = 5 x 5 x 5 or 125. If we want to compare values, we must evaluate each expression and then compares the final values for each.

3⁶ = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 729

6³ = 6 x 6 x 6 = 216

729 > 216

We can immediately notice that 3⁶ is much larger than 6³

Answer:

(5/2)√13 ≈ 9.0139

Step-by-step explanation:

The longer hypotenuse is found using the Pythagorean theorem as ...

$\sqrt{8^2+12^2}=\sqrt{208}=4\sqrt{13}$

The right triangles are AA similar, and vertical sides correspond. Their ratio, smaller/larger is 5/8. That means the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle, A, is 5/8 of the hypotenuse of the larger one.

$A=\dfrac{5}{8}\cdot 4\sqrt{13}= \dfrac{5\sqrt{13}}{2}$

Answer:

x≥38 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Julio wants to break his school’s scoring record of 864 points during his 24-game basketball season. During the first 8 games of the season, he scored a total of 256 points. Which inequality can be used to find x, the number of points Julio must average per game during the rest of the season to break the record?

julio has a 24 game basketball season.

he has played 8, it means there are 16 more games to go

therefore=

he has scored 256 nts, wic means there are still 608 points to go .

864-256=608

x is the points he more score per every game.

16x=608

to break the records ,he must score an extra point 1

so 16x≥608

x≥38
