Answer:

  3/8 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

If all units are pounds, then we have ...

  bread = cookies - 1/8 lb

  cookies = brownies + 1/4 lb

  bread = 1/2 lb

Using the last value in the first equation, we find ...

  1/2 lb = cookies - 1/8 lb

  cookies = 5/8 lb . . . . . . . add 1/8 lb to both sides

Using this in the second equation gives ...

  5/8 lb = brownies + 1/4 lb

  3/8 lb = brownies . . . . . subtract 1/4 lb from both sides

__

Lila used 3/8 lb of flour to make the brownies.

Answer:

3/7 cup

Step-by-step explanation:

Ignore the units for the time being. Just to give it units, you could call it cups. This question is really about ratios.

Let the cookies = x

Then the bread = x - 1/8 x = 7/8x

The brownies = cookies - 1/4 cookies

The brownies = 3/4 cookies = 3/4 x

==============

Now start again.

The bread uses 1/2 cup.

That translates into 1/2 = 7/8 x

x = 1/2 // 7/8 = 4/7 cup for the cookies    (4/7 is larger than 1/2)

Whatever the cookies are, the brownies take 3/4 as much

4/7 * 3/4 = 12/28 = 3/7

The answer should be 3/7 of a cup.

One side of a square is 3x + 2. Which expression represents the perimeter?
MissTica

Your answer would be 12x + 8 because there are 4 sides to a square and they are all 3x + 2, so you would need to multiply 3x + 2 by 4 which you can do by expanding brackets which gives you 4(3x + 2) and thus when you multiply it out you get 12x + 8. I hope this helps!

Find the values of x and y if (-x + 5, 1) = (-y, 2x - 5y).
MrMuchimi

Answer:

x = 8, y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Equating corresponding x and y coordinates , then

- y = - x + 5 ( multiply through by - 1 )

y = x - 5 → (1)

2x - 5y = 1 → (2)

Substitute y = x - 5 into (2)

2x - 5(x - 5) = 1 ← distribute and simplify left side

2x - 5x + 25 = 1

- 3x + 25 = 1 ( subtract 25 from both sides )

- 3x = - 24 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = 8

Substitute x = 8 into (1) for corresponding value of y

y = 8 - 5 = 3

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

26%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Dan has 59 new email messages and 13 have attachment then the proportion that have attachments may be expressed as a ratio of the number with attachments to the total number of emails.

Hence proportion of the email messages have attachments as a percentage

= 13/50 * 100%

= 26%

This means that 26% of the emails received have attachments
