1 ounce = 0,0625 pound = 1/16 pound
10-oz = 0,625 pounds = 1/16 * 10 = 10/16 = 5/8 pounds
3 * 5 (bags donated to the pantry) = 15
15 ÷ 5/8 = = 15 * 8/5 = 3 * 8 = 24
Answer: There are 24 10-oz bags needed to fit three 5-lb bags.
Since ABCD is a rectangle, AB and CD are parallel sides. This means that you can set AB equal to CD to solve for x. It would be:
1/2x+6=5/2x-2.
6=4/2x-2
8=2x
4=x
So the answer would be e. 4.

<span>The equation that gives the speed of the boat after David has rowed for x hours is </span><span>y=4-1.5x.
</span>
The direction David is rowing (upstream) is the positive direction. That makes the direction the river is flowing negative.
David rows at 6 mph, but the river is flowing at 2 mph in the opposite direction. That means his "net" speed, relative to an observer on the ground, is 6-2 = 4 mph.
He loses 1.5 mph of his speed every hour, so after x hours, his speed is 4-1.5x.
First you'd change the 68 yards to 194 feet. then you would make the equation (3x-2)+(3x-2)+x+x=204 because the length is 2 feet less than 3 times the width (x). when you combine like terms it is 8x-4=204. then you'd move the -4 over to the 204 to make it 8x=208. x=26 feet. then you plug it back in time find the length is 76 feet.
The least number should always start off with negatives if there are any. In this case there is so we can start with -2 as our least amount. Next are the small fractions. If you're allowed a calculator, I would use that to find what the decimals will look like for each fraction:
After -2 the next least number is 0 and the next one is the fraction or decimal closest to the number 0 which is 0.4
The next number would be from the fractions we solved earlier. 0.5 and 0.625 would follow 0.4 and then 1.1 and 1.6667(solved for from fraction).
Here is the list:
