Answer:

< "less than sign"

Step-by-step explanation:

1/8 is 0.125 in decimal form.

1/2 is 0.5 in decimal form.

Therefore, 1/2 is greater than 1/8 so you would use the less than symbol (<) for a final answer of 1/8<1/3.

Mrs. Jones has a local bakery. Last week this expression shows how many peanut butter cupcakes she baked. 5 (2x -4) + 3(3 + 4x)

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answers:

A: 11(2x-1)

B: 121 cupcakes

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following expression that models the quantity of cupcakes Mrs. Jones baked last week:

$5(2x -4) + 3(3 + 4x)$

Applying distributive property:

$10x-20+9+12x$

Grouping similar terms:

$22x-11$

Applying common factor $11$ :

$11(2x-1)$ This is the simplified expression

Now that we have the simplified expresion, we have to evaluate how many cupcakes did Mrs. Jones bake if $x=6$ :

$11(2(6)-1)$

$11(12-1)=11(11)=121$ Hence, Mrs. Jones baked 121 cupcakes last week
