Answer:
<u>37/8</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
we are going to create 5 1/2 into an improper fraction for now, so it is easier to manipulate.
5 1/2 = 11/10
in order to find the answer, we need to set them both to a common denominator(we need to make sure they have the same denominator so it is easier to subtract)
11/2 if we just take 1 of the cups that Abby made and subtract that by 7/8 that give us the answer
11/2 - 1 = 9/2
we will now us the cup we subtracted from that and "give it to the kids"
1 = 8/8
so
8/8 - 7/8 = 1/8
so we have 1/8 leftover from that cup, so we can add that back
since 1/8 is a hard number to just add off the top of your head, we can just change the denominator of 9/2 into 8 instead of 2:
9/2 = 36/8
so
1/8 + 36/8 = 37/8
so since 37/8 cannot be simplified anymore, the answer is
<u>37/8</u>
Answer:
the first one
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
F = 1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
All you would have to do is cross multiply, so our equations starts at 
. We would now multiply F by 8 and 2 by 5. We now have 8F = 10. We can now divide both sides of the equation by 8 to get F = 1.25.
This is an exponential function.
The starting population is: 10,000 and it doubles every 14 years.
In 42 years ( 42 : 14 = 3 ) the population doubles 3 times.
The equation ( exponential ) is :
y = 10,000 * 2^n
In this case: n = 3
y = 10,000 * 2 ^3 = 10,000 * 8 = 80,000
Answer: In 42 years the population of this town will be 80,000.
