We have FIVE cats that each ate 1/4 cup of canned food.
Then, the five of them together ate:
5 times 1/4 cup This in mathematical expression is a profduct of an integer value (5) times the fraction (1/4) which we know how to multiply based on the problems we solved a few minutes ago:
5 * 1/4 = 5/1 * 1/4 = (5 * 1) / (1 * 4) = 5/4 cups
This answer can also be written as a MIXED number given that 5/4 is an IMPROPER fraction (a fraction with numerator larger than the denominator)
5/4 = 1 1/4
Not sure what answer your teacher would prefer. It depends on whether he/she wants you to use fractions or mixed numbers.
Answer:
correct answer is x = 2.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
AB = 2x-5
BC = 6x
AC = 27
Hence,
=> AC = AB + BC
=> 27 = 2x-5 + 6x
=> 27 = 8x-5
=> 27-5 = 8x
=> 22 = 8x
=> 22/8 = x
=> 11/4 = x
or
2.75 = x
Answer:
- y=0.8x
- See Explanation for others
Step-by-step explanation:
The 3 cans of beans had a total weight of 2.4 Pounds
Therefore:
- 1 can of beans = (2.4 ÷ 3) =0.8 Pounds
The following applies from the options.
- y=0.8x where y is the weight and x is the number of cans.
- A 2-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 is labeled number of cans with entries 5, 15, 20. Column 2 is labeled total weight (in pounds) with entries 4, 12, 16.
Using y=0.8x
When x=5, y=0.8 X 5=4
When x=15, y=0.8 X 15=12
When x=20, y=0.8 X 20=16

- On a coordinate plane, the x-axis is labeled number of cans and the y-axis is labeled total weight (in pounds. A line goes through points (5, 4) and (15, 12). This can be clearly seen from the table above as (5,4) and (15,12) are points on the line.
Answer:
A
0.1 is -1/10 which is obviously less than -1/7 .
Else we can also know by multiplying by 100
-1/10 *100 = -10
-1/7 *100 = -14.444
