1 ) Subtract 6 from both sides .
-3x > -2 - 6
2) simplify -2 - 6 to -8.
-3x > -8
3) Divide both sides by -3
x < -8/-3
4)two negatives make a positive
x < 8/3
Cerial: $3.14 for 11.2oz;
Cookies: $5.04 for 18 cookies;
Eggs: $2.04 for half dozen;
Grapes: $9 for 5lbs;
Orange juice: $2.08 for 16oz;
Watermelon: $3.72 for 4lbs.
The way to solve for these or to check is by dividing the price by the amount. For Cookies, $5.04 is best because [ 5.04 / 18 = $0.28/cookie ] and not $4.50 because [ 4.50 / 15 = $0.30 / cookie. ]. Hopefully this helps!
<span>1. You have 3 chances in 12 of picking a pencil ===> 3/12 = 1/4
2 You have 5 chances in 8 of picking a colored pencil ===> 5/8
3. The probability of doing both is the product of the two ===> 1/4 * 5/8 = 5/32 </span>
