Answer:

  yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Each of the two lengths is more than 1/2, so their sum will be more than 1.

  8/12 > 6/12

 7/8 > 4/8

(8/12) +(7/8) > (6/12) +(4/8) = 1/2 + 1/2 = 1

8/12 + 7/8 > 1

The total length of wire is greater than 1 foot, so Sam and Lou have enough for the project.

_____

If that sort of estimate doesn't work for you, then you can add the numbers to see what their total is.

  8/12 +7/8 = 16/24 +21/24 = 37/24 = 1 13/24 > 1

Which properties justify the steps taken to solve the system? {2x−4y=−6
GenaCL600 [577]
For this case we have the following system of equations:
 2x-4y = -6
 3x + 2y = -1

 Step 1:
 We rewrite equation 2:
 2x-4y = -6
 6x + 4y = -2

 Step 2:
 We add both equations:
 8x = -8

 Step 3:
 We clear x:
 x = -8/8
 x = -1

 Step 4:
 
We use any equation and we clear y:
 3x + 2y = -1
 2y = -1-3x
 y = -1 / 2 - (3/2) * x
 y = -1 / 2 - (3/2) * (- 1)
 y = -1 / 2 + (3/2)
 y = 2/2
 y = 1

 Answer:
 x = -1
 
y = 1

Christine must buy at least 45 fluid ounces of milk at the store. The store only sells milk in 200 milliliter bottles. If there
ratelena [41]
Since there are 1000 milliliters in a liter, that means that there are 33.8/1000 fluid ouncers per milliliter. That means that each 200 mil bottle is 6.76 fluid ounces or 33.8/1000*200. 45/6.76 = 6.66 but you have to round up to a whole number of bottles since you can buy 2/3 of a bottle which makes your answer 7 bottles.
