Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
First I converted the fractions into decimals to make it easier to solve.
2 1/2 —> 2.5
1 3/4 —> 1.75
Then I added the two decimals together.
2.5 + 1.75 = 4.25
Then I divided this number by 100 (the number of cups in one bag)
100/4.25=23.529
With this equation I know that one bag lasts 23 full days.
This is almost a month, and so it would not make sense for the answers to be B, C, or D.
Hope this helped
Answer:
x = 2/5
General Formulas and Concepts:
Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Write equation</u>
5x = 2
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Divide both sides by 5: x = 2/5
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution</em>.
- Substitute: 5(2/5) = 2
- Multiply: 10/5 = 2
- Divide: 2 = 2
Answer:
Raising something to a negative exponent is just taking the reciprocal of the amount.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assume that you wanted to know what 
is.
To find it, you would take the reciprocal of the x amount. So becomes 
.
This works because of the nature of exponents. Exponents represent the number of times you are multiplying a value by itself. So 
would be equal to a · a · a. To increase the exponent, you increase the number of times the value is multiplied by itself: To increase to 
, you would have to multiply a with two more times (a · a · a · a · a). To decrease the exponent, you must divide the value by itself. So to decrease to 
, you would have to divide by a 3 times.
If the exponent is 0, the value is equal to 1. But you can still decrease the exponent into negative numbers. You just divide 1 by a the desired amount of times: 
means that you are dividing 1 by a 3 times.

Answer:
5b-5
Step-by-step explanation:
When doing these kinds of problems you want to do dributive property which means you multiply whatever number is outside of the (), which is 5, and multiply that by b and 1.
when numbers are outside the () and right next to them without anything like +,-, or a division sign, it means to multiply.
120 - 3/4y=60
lowest common multiple=4y
480y-3=240y
480y-240y=3
240y=3
y=3/240
y=1/80
Answer: y=1/80
