This is exactly like the last question you posted. First you have to change the 3 and 2/3 mixed fraction into a pure fraction. 3 and 2/3 = 9/3 and 2/3 = 11/3 "eleven thirds." You now just need to divide (11 / 3) by (2/3.) (11 / 3) / (2 / 3) = (11 / 3) * (3 / 2) = 11 / 2 = 5 and 1/2 pieces. So if Mae cuts the ribbon into pieces that are 2/3 yard long, Mae will end up with 5 and 1/2 pieces. Checking our work, 5 pieces would be 5 * (2/3) = 10 / 3 = 3 and 1/3 yard long, leaving us with an extra 1/3 yard of ribbon, which is the "half piece" we got. Depending on the phrasing of the question, the answer could be "Mae makes 5 and a half pieces." or "Mae can make 5 pieces, and will have 1/3 yard of ribbon left over."
the answer is C. 9 1/3

Answer:
Christine has $18, Kareem has $23, and Trey has $92.
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be solved by using variables to represent the unkown values.
x = Christine's money
x + 5 = Kareem's money.
4(x + 5) = Trey's money.
x + (x + 5) + 4(x + 5) = 133
2x + 5 + 4x + 20 = 133
6x = 108
x = $18
This means that Christine has $18, Kareem has $23, and Trey has $92.

To answer the equation first, let x be the number of pens. With this representation, the number of pencils she bought would be x - 4. The total amount she would have to spent for all the items is,
T = 6.70x + 3.5(x - 4)
The answer is 1 3/5 I believe
Answer:
(- 5, 2 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is
( , )
Here (x₁, y₁ ) = A(- 8, - 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B(- 2, 10) , thus
midpoint = ( , ) = ( , ) = (- 5, 2 )
